Hi Scott!

proofread, one of which is upcoming.

I included this one, because of it being written by a person with a disability.

An upcoming title
I have scanned one of Valerie's books she sent me and will soon be sending
it back to her for her to proofread.

Bookshare wants a list of recommended books from the collection that
touch on the theme of disability.
On Facebook Marketing will run a serialized list (one book per day for 30
days.) We are open to everything from children to academic books; fiction
or non-fiction; humorous or boringly serious.
Please post your suggestions here for all to see so that one person's
ideas spark another's. I will cross-post this invitation to the general
discussion list after volunteers have had a shot at it.
For example, author Katherine Schneider has recommended her memoir "To the
Left of Inspiration: Adventures in Living with Disabilities" and her
children's book "Your Treasure Hunt: Disabilities and Finding Your Gold"
are in the Bookshare library already. I am partial to books on travel. I
know there are relevant some sci-fi books. Maybe there are some Romance
books or poetry anthologies too?
Looking forward to hearing your collective wisdom.
