And you were worried about the scientific names, I just could not say the word MOLLUSC for some reason!

These are in the MW Ready for PL

Mollusc, huh? Isn't that way it goes? But, I think we've all had that experience of stumbling over common words....

Thanks for reading these!

Yep, there's a part in section 2 that lists a bunch of scientific names then ends with 'worms and molluscs.' I said all the scientific ones fine first try then flubbed 'molluscs' and just could not say 'molluscs,' it took a few minutes of the stumbling over 'molluscs' before I finally got it!

Anyway, here's another two-

I see you're away though so I guess I should wait until you get back before I claim more sections?

I'm putting up the Preface and Section 4 Ready for PL

I selected sponges because of the unique bed of sponges we had where I often went snorkeling off the coast of Haiti -- many years ago -- and our Christmas tree topper is made from one of those sponges.

Sections 0 and 4: PL OK

Hi Inkell! Thank you for these wonderful sections!
Sections 11, 38 and 47: PL OK

Just one PL note for Section 2:
Misread at 9:25.5. Please read as “below the freezing point 32 degrees F” instead of “minus 32 degrees F”.

Hi, can I claim section 7 please?

I've got these, and the previous ones in the MW Ready for PL, and marked section 2 Ready for Spot PL.
You can always post for a new claim, and if I'm away, I'll just take care of it when I am able.
I was in Mexico for a few days with a medical team volunteering at a clinic. Then yesterday was an all-day trip with the grand children. All good stuff!

Wow that's so cool, Larry, welcome back! And that's nice you had a day trip with your grandkids too, I always loved when my grandparents would do that kind of stuff with us.

Yes I could've but I couldn't start working on it until the claim is accepted so there's not that much point, also for the record I have my final two sections recorded as well I just haven't gotten to editing them yet but hopefully today. Could I also add 10, 17, 23, 31, 32 to my list as well then? In fact since they are shorter, could I also have 3 and 20 or would you rather wait until I submit those last two first?

I've put you in for 10, 17, 23, 31, 32. Let's hold off on the other two to see if we can attract a few more readers.

The day trip was to Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA where they have wonderful displays and educational demonstrations of reefs and shore lines. Today, I redeem one of my Christmas presents -- a horseback riding lesson.

Oh right, well if you want other readers then just nevermind.

Cool, people on Librivox have such exciting lives

Hi!

Could I volunteer to read for sections 3, 36 and 39?

Hi!

Could I volunteer to read for sections 3, 36 and 39?

That is a lot to take on for your first read. Might be better to start with just one so you know how much time and work it takes.

In any case, I do need to know exactly how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog. This can be your real name, pseudonym, or an nickname/handle you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.
