One note for Chapter 45: at 1:56, there’s an odd buzzing noise that continues until almost 2:00.
Sorry, missed that. Chapter 45 is ready for spot PL.

And last but not least - Chapters 48 and 49 ready for PL!

Following any spot changes, now that the reading is all done, is there anything else I need to do for this project to be completed?

I look forward to the last two chapters (I haven't been reading ahead, so it's all fresh story, as it has been many years since I read this). I hope you have plans to do more solos?
Yes, I'd love to do more solos - I've really enjoyed doing this project! I have a few texts in mind (The Jungle Book, The Phantom of the Opera, and Pinocchio) but I believe there are existing versions of all of these already, so I will have to have a little think I reckon.
Hi Ayesha,
All three are now PL OK! No, there's nothing further you need to do. Rapunzelina will be along in a day or two to catalogue the project, so just check back for any updates. How long that takes varies a bit. Sometimes it happens the same day you finish; sometimes it can take a week or so. It all depends on how much the MC has on their plate at the time.
I agree that there probably are already versions of all the books you mention above. But there are lots of other books you could consider soloing that haven't been done yet. Have a poke around Project Gutenberg, and look for books by authors you like (perhaps one or two haven't been done yet).
I was recently lucky enough to come across a book of Edith Wharton short stories that hadn't yet been done; that's my current solo. If you have any interest in Victorian literature, there's a number of
novels by George Gissing that haven't yet been done. I considered doing one, but I just can't muster an English accent. Or check out the
Book suggestions forum; I've found a few good books and stories there.
I'll keep an eye on the New Projects Launch Pad for your next solo. It has been a real pleasure being your DPL.
Thanks,
