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!

These first two chapters are very well done. I enjoyed listening to them very much. You are a good reader and did a nice job of putting emotion into Mrs. Ward's comments, etc. Both sections are PL OK.

I look forward to hearing more from you.

You are doing better than I would. :)

Chapter 5 is PL OK.

Chapter 6 is missing one small word that really changes the meaning of the sentence by its absence.
11:32 "that" is missing in “Never think that of me again,”

Chapter 7 needs one word changed.
7:58 I hear "interference" instead of "inference" in “The inference being he did so for purposes of disguise."

Well done with the recordings.

Sentences make more sense now. :) Both chapters 6 and 7 are PL OK. Good job with the fixes.
