Maybe I could copy :)
Mod
196 Pages, so should be done quickly
Yeah, not for me :) Not interested either.I think I'll start with depository one (or at least one of since there are few) and it could be used for narrators too
Book I thought to use for narrators disappeared from library database in audio edition so I have ebook. And since I'm reading both of them, I'll go with one that could fit more than one task if necessary. Not to mention it's reread so it should go faster. Sadly, probably won't be finished in this round.
