IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Two wonderful recordings. Both are PL OK.

I hadn't remembered that the previous book was your first solo project. You did such a good job with it which is why I wanted to listen to this one too. :)

Simply love the bohemian girl. She is delightful. Another wonderful recording that needs just one small change and then it should be PL OK.

The volume is too high. If you can reduce it around 3 dB is should be near the near the LibriVox ideal. It needs to be reduced by at least 1 dB.

Thanks,

Oops! That is fixed and I have uploaded through chapter five. Madeline is great. Makes you want to live in Bohemia! And I wish my college life had been so full of lovely people and simple, fun times!
