I have overwritten two chapters so far and have had to record them again. I hope I'm over my dumb mistakes.

It happens to all of us so don't worry about it. But, chapter 3 is much better now. :)

One comment on chapter 2:
4:34 missing "be" in "I think it's not too much to ask that Willoughby be kept in the kitchen hereafter." There needs to be two "be" sounds in a row.

Chapter 3 is PL OK.

Both chapters are excellent. Quite enjoyable.

One comment. You do not have to read the full introduction in a solo projects for all sections after the first section. You can use the abbreviated one. You can either stick with the full intro for all remaining sections or redo the intro for sections 2 and following. Your call, as long as it is consistent.

Looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Thanks,

Just to let you know. There is an extra "_" at the end of the filename for chapter 3. Something to watch for in future.

Thanks,

Good job on chapters 4 and 5. I will get to the others - 2 and 6 - tomorrow. 4 and 5 are both PL OK.

Thanks,

Chapter 2 is PL OK.

Chapter 6 is great, but needs one simple little change and then it should be PL OK.

please delete about 1 second of silence at the end so that there are around 5 seconds of silence at the end.

There is a moderate level of background noise. I did not find it bothersome at all, and there is certainly no need to adjust it here. I mention it as something to look out for in the future.

You are doing a terrific job with this book.

Chapter 6 is now PL OK.

Chapter 7 needs one word correction:
about 17:08 should be "you" instead of "I" in "if you had done anything else."

Chapter 8 is PL OK.

good job with the readings, as always.
