Dear Tracey,
I did the Redneck Illos and thank you for taking time to tell me you liked
them. It was slow going visually, but the pictures had bright contrast and
were huge so I could see them. The illustrations in some books just look
like formless blobs. You make me feel so happy to have made the effort by
saying something nice.
Though I lap up goopy sweet Christmas stories, I also love spreading smiles
and chuckles so tried to add Christmas books for a wide range of tastes this
year. I validated a steamy Sandra Brown Christmas novel as a thank you to
the volunteer who helped me download my first book from Bookshare 20 months
ago. An Irish Christmas is for readers who like non preachy stories about
down to earth people and is full of witty tales I predict lots of our guys
will like. The Redneck Christmas was for everyone who can get down and silly
and isn't touchy about political correctness, and if there's time, a
fabulous book with the background stories of 31 popular Christmas carols is
coming. All of this is thanks to a tireless volunteer who did the timely
scanning for me. I've learned it's not polite to tell about off list, behind
the scenes, doings information on list, but I hope she jumps in and accepts
the credit for scanning overtime to get these books up in time for
Christmas. There were 131 Christmas books on Jakes list when I checked in
November. I added 5 that were floating in the collection 2 of which I
validated last year. my goal is to make it 140 by Christmas, and I'll reach
it if I can get the carol book validated in Time.
And, all of the goal setting in the world wouldn't have counted for anything
without Gustavo approving the 3 books I just finished so quickly. Thank you,
Gustavo! It really is a beautiful thing the way all of us combine our time
and talents to add books to the Bookshare collection.
As I've Validated these books I've felt like a Santa's Bookshare elf with a
red neck, a halo, a sentimental heart and a wide rowdy streak!
You rang my Christmas chime, Tracey, with your thoughtfulness. Thanks,
again.
Always with love, and Merry Christmas,
Lissi
P. S.
Soon it will be back to Tolkien, the project of a lifetime, before he sends
a balrog to incinerate me!
