I would also like to claim 18 Talking Birds, Instincts, etc.

I probably won't be able to turn it around until after the holidays, but this was an interesting process.

I am especially excited to read the following quotation:

Zozozozozozozozozozozozo zirrhading
Hezezezezezezezezezezezezezezeze cowar ho dze hoi
Higaigaigaigaigaigaigaigaigaigai, guaiagai coricor dzio dzio pi.

Thanks

Can't wait to PL that!

Hello! Here is section 1 (18:27). I realized that I misspoke on a few of the currency amounts, and went back and fixed them. Hoping I didn't miss any more. This is going to be a very interesting book!

Hi Claire - there were a couple things that need changing, the same thing twice each. Fortunately, you changed to "pounds" after I made these two notes!!

Section 1
6:04
“300 pounds” rather than the number 3001.
p. 15, in paragraph the begins “Upon the eastern island…”

7:54
Esquimaux = Eskimo
p. 16, in paragraph that begins “The Zoological Society of London…”

8:56
“200l” = 200 pounds
p. 16 near beginning of the tiny print paragraph, referring to Ant-eater at St. Gile’s

15:58
Esquimaux=Eskimo
In footnote 4

Section 17

A very good first section ever! Your voice is expressive and smooth, and you have very clear diction. I enjoyed listening.

Just a few small things, none of which had to do with your reading of the text – that was excellent.

:00 You have 2 seconds of silence at the beginning, please trim to .5-1

:24-:25
Title only needs to be read once. “Pelicans and Cormorants”

5:36
Skipped “Pelican Island” (presumably the name of the quoted poem.)
p. 198, right before it says “Great numbers of Pelicans…”

15:10 You have over 11 seconds of silence at the end, please trim to 5

Remember to include the new duration when you upload your corrected version.

No need to change anything on this section, but you might consider setting off quotes with “quote” at the beginning and “end quote” at the end. I like to use them because I feel it helps the listener follow the text better. I typically include them if the quote is over 5 or 6 words long.

I'd like to do section 15 on toucans. M, will you PL me?

That does look like fun. At least it isn't mostly consonants.

You've got it. I want to hear that quote.

Hi Verla! Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm glad I only missed two of the currency errors. And what a fancy way to spell Eskimo! File has been corrected and re-uploaded. Time remains the same at 18:27.
