Librivox
I listen to books on librivox. Most of the readers are adequate, but, oh, my are some HORRIBLE! There is one woman, a non-native English speaker, whose English sounds like it’s excellent…in person. But as a narrator? Nope. Just, no. In at least every other sentence, she mispronounces a word. At least one per paragraph makes me have to pause to figure out what it was. I can get used to all Vs pronounced W. Rs swallowed, stuff like that. But boding isn’t bodding. Bough is bouw, not boug.
I can not recommend Search for the Castaways, by Jules Berne.
Librivox absolutely refuses to do any curation.
