What I'd really like is for the number of books we can have in our proofreading
pile to be enlarged. Then I could take a book that needs something simple to
fix, like The Man Who Made husbands jealous (except in this case my libraries
don't have the book). As things are now I'd have to release a book, which I've
done before--and hope no one else takes it (I do have one long one that I'm
pretty sure no one wil take)--and I know I'm taking a long time to proof, but
that's because of the nature of the books. smile
