Uh, hello everyone! Green Volunteer here.

[IvyMouse]

Hello to all of you here in the forums! I have only just volunteered but everyone I've seen so far has been incredibly kind and helpful. There are so many resources for newbies - It's amazing and a tad overwhelming, but I'll just take my time and things will work out, I'm sure.

My username is IvyMouse, though you can choose to address me with that or Emily. I'm an avid reader, book collector, and writer. I adore all things creative - but I am very new to recording. I volunteered in the hopes that I could assist others and be a part of a worthwhile effort, as well as to push myself confidence-wise (I hate hearing my voice recorded - but who doesn't?). Uhm...hm. I enjoy old books, poetry, history, and learning new things. Half the fun of the older books in my lil' library are the messages, marks and signatures left behind from those before me. I have years of academic Spanish under my belt - but I fear I read it better than I speak it, so I don't dare offer contribution there.

Thank you for having me. I can already tell there's some amazing magic going on here and I'm lucky to have a chance to contribute.
Best regards, it's nice to meet you all!

Welcome to Librivox, Emily!

Once you have completed your one minute test, I thought you might be interested in contributing to these projects, given your interests:

• A Collection of Anglo-Saxon Poetry (The Exeter Book)
• The Cambridge Medieval History Volume 02 The Rise of the Saracens and the Foundation of the Western Empire

You can see all the available group projects that are looking for readers here.

Thank you Tricia & InTheDesert!
Those project recommendations sound right up my alley, how exciting. I'll have to get on sorting the 1-minute test soon so I can make sure I'm actually equipped to offer any help.
