Below are my current projects at LibriVox, plus posts with projects completed in 2023 and also 2024 projects, all of which are also listed below.

 Recording:

• Clarke: Selectae Fabulae Aesopi, or Select Fables of Aesop
• Berry's Black Folk Tales

Contributing:

• Lectures on the Harvard Classics
• Multilingual Short Works Collection 035 
• Rudens; or The Fisherman's Rope
• Augustine's Expositions on the Psalms

Prooflistening:

• Wodehouse: Divots
• Frazer: Golden Bough - Scapegoat

And my goal for 2024 is to take on a new role: I want to learn how to be a BC (book coordinator) by leading a collaborative project: Myths, Fairy Tales, and Legends of 1928, with selections from the best books of mythology and folklore entering the public domain on January 1, 2024. I'll be posting about that project here as I will need to start by assembling the texts. I've been scoping out possible books, and then after January 1, I'll be able to start making selections and creating a new PDF-book of my own, and that book can then be the basis for our recording at LibriVox. I really enjoyed the group projects that I contributed to in 2023, and I'm excited to coordinate a mythology and folklore group project. Volunteering at LibriVox has made Public Domain Day an even more exciting event than before!

Stories of 1928: Tales, Myths, and Legends in the Public Domain

 One of my projects for LibriVox starting the year of 2024 will be an anthology of tales and legends from books that were published in 1928, and which are thus now in the public domain in in the United States. Many of the authors, however, died less than 70 years ago, which means they are not yet in the public domain in the E.U. and other places where the public domain depends on the year of the author's death. So, if an author listed below died in 1954 or later, that means the source is not yet in the public domain in those countries with a
