now PL ok, thanks

As we are approaching the end, Daria, do you wish to change anything in the summary ? There is still time for me to copy a new text into the database, so let me know. :)

It’s great to see this project finishing up! Any chance you’ll be organizing a DR of the sequel when this Eight Cousins DR is in the catalogue, Daria? I’d love to reprise the role of Geordie in Rose in Bloom.

Yes, thank you! I’ve polished the summary a little more:
When frail, sickly Rose Campbell is left an orphan following the death of her father, she moves with her eccentric bachelor uncle to a place she will come to know as “Aunt Hill”. There, she meets her six aunts, each of whom has conflicting ideas on how to raise their little niece and her seven rowdy boy cousins. Through Uncle Alec’s guidance, Rose begins a new milestone and acquires valuable lessons about health, education, and character building. As Rose begins to bloom with health and vitality, she finds new happiness and learns the importance of family love that “ties all bonds”. (Summary by DariaAM)
Before you update it, though, please let me know which of the two versions you prefer (and if you think I need to edit some more).

I have considered this for a while. But even though I’d love to launch the sequel Rose in Bloom and finish this series, I’ve made the decision not to take on any more projects at present.

If any of you would like to BC Rose in Bloom in the near future, I encourage you to contact the readers who have participated in this project, as many have expressed their interest in joining the sequel. I would definitely make sure to give them a chance. :)

sounds good to me, it's nearly similar to the first version. I'm ok with taking this one.

thank you

Thank you greatly! I apologize for my delay with these, but I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding after my health the last couple months.

I'd love to see Rose in Bloom! Depending on my schedule this summer, it could be tossed into my list, if you don't take it up Daria.

Wonderful! Thanks Elijah! It’s now in the MW ready for a final PL. All the master files are at the top, and the extra ones have been moved down.

:clap: excellent, thank you Elijah. It's perfectly PL ok again.

That means I can proceed to cataloguing, since everything else is ready for finalizing. I'll post the link when it's in the box.

Thank you all, it was a great project !
