Dear Shelley,

Writer's soul, please? Would you put Hold for Lissi after the title? I'm really looking forward to this one, and, Monica, I'll try and get through it quickly. Won't it be fun if we recognize some of the contributors? I'd love to hear some words from Dick Francis, Susan Howatch, Elizabeth George, Sue Grafton, Dean Koontz, Christopher Paolini, Edna O'Brien, Meave Benchy, Dan Brown, Alison McGhee, and so many more.

Long rumbles of thunder are rolling closer and we're under a tornado watch, so I'm shutting down until it's lifted in about 3 hours.

Thanks for remembering to get that book, Shelley.

Always with love,

Lissi

Hi Lissy and Others interested in Chicken Soup, I just picked up from the
library the following, if anyone wants to validate them, let me know.

Chicken Soup for the Horse lover's Soul II
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff
Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul
Chicken Soup for the Girlfriend's Soul
Chicken Soup for the Golden Soul

Also picked up a bunch of other books including the Complete house Plant
manual.

Dear Shelley,

I searched and couldn't find Golden Soul on the list. I believe you added
it, but wonder where it is. About the caregivers, the one I listed was
Caregivers 2 and we're lucky to have Caregivers 1 which you scanned.

With all of the scanning you do, and your teaching, no wonder you can't edit
everything. We're plenty fortunate that you scan so many books.

I never mentioned that I didn't mean for A Christmas Visitor to have to be
re submitted so that I got credit for your submission. It was the only way
the staff suggested that I correct my boo boo of uploading the unvalidated
file. I owe you. Soon I'll have a book which will be submitable. We can talk
off list and I'll be happy for you to submit it. and we can be even. I
mentioned looking forward to having the writer's Soul added, but I was glad
to see another Soup for Dogs, too.  They keep coming!

Always with love,

Lissi

We have

Golden
Caregivers

As I submitted those.

Am glad to see the Special Needs one is now up and that it has a better
title than the one they had proposed.

I love scanning the books, just don't have the time, to edit them, smile.

Not that I have the time to edit most of the stuff I scan.

Dear Kasondra, Julie and Booksharian Friends, especially those who are
still
speaking to me after reading this post,

I should have searched a little longer before sending the post about Blog
and Chicken Soup books, or maybe I should have never checked out the
Chicken
Soup at all.

First, the Blog book I found on Amazon is available for as little as 97
cents from Market Place sellers so with postage it would cost a little
under
five dollars.

Bookshare has, Essential Blogging by Cory Doctorow and others.

As for Chicken Soup, there are 32 batches of it in the Bookshare
collection,
, but not the one for mothers of preschoolers. There's a Chicken Soup for
the Expectant Mother's Soul, 101 Stories To Warm the Hearts of Soon-To-
Be-Mothers which isn't in the collection, either.

If anyone is interested in adding even more soup, there are books for the

Military Soul
Entrepreneur's Soul
Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff
Teenage Soul The Real Deal Challenges 1 and 2
Teenage Soul IV
Teenage Soul Letters
Teenage Soul Journal
Teenage Christian's Soul
Golfer's Soul
Raising A Child With Special Needs
Chocolate Lover's Soul
Jewish Soul
Shopper's Soul
Golden Soul
Christian Soul II
Working Woman's Soul
Breast Cancer Survivor's Soul
Soul of Work
To Grandma with Love
Dieter's Soul
Dieter's Soul Daily Inspiration
Girl's Soul
Unsinkable Soul
Preteen Soul II
New Mom's Soul
Parent's Soul
Father's Soul
African-American Woman's Soul
Chiropractic Soul
NASCAR Soul
Writer's Soul
Baseball Fan's Soul
Fisherman's Soul
Cookbook
Dental Soul
Single Parent's
Beach Lover's
Latino Soul
Traveler's Soul
Chicken Soup Celebrates Dogs and the People Who Love Them Soul
in Menopause Laughing and Loving Through Hot Flashes and Hormones Soul
Kid's Soul 2
Sister's Soul
Sister's Soul 2
Soul of Hawaii
Scrapbooker's Soul
Caregiver's Soul 2
Woman Golfer's Soul
Bride's Soul
Every Mom's Soul
Mother & Daughter's Soul
Mother and Son Soul
Recovering Soul
Prisoner's Soul
Teenage Soul of Love and Friendship
Cat Lover's Soul
Grieving Soul
Girlfriend's Soul
Surviving Soul

I hope none of you have gasped so much
at this extreme proliferation
of souls requiring nourishment
that you've succumbed to hyperventilation.

When I found the book for Mother's of Preschoolers I was surprised. When I saw bookshare had 32 Chicken Soup books I was more surprised. I thought it
was unreal there was Chicken Soup for expectant mothers. Then I made the
above list in recognition of Jack Canfield's ability to apply and grow
rich
on his feel good recipe to the point of absurdity! What next? I didn't
even
list more of the cookbooks or the titles in the entire series of Healthy
living soup books for every ailment in the Doctor's desk reference!.

Just when I was convinced Jack Canfield must have oversaturated the
Chicken
Soup Market, I realized there were some serious omissions.After Double
checking I couldn't find Chicken Soup for

Complainer's Soul
Debtor's Soul
Obsessive's Soul
Computer Junky's Soul
Curious Soul
Programmer's soul
Nail Biter's Soul
Manicurist's Soul
Validator's Soul
Scanner's Soul
Slob's Soul
Perfectionists Soul
Gossip's Soul
Optimist's Soul
Insomniac's Soul
Guide Dog User's Soul
Cane User's Soul
Sighted Guide User's Soul

Of these, I've got the, check the time this post was sent, insomniac's
soul

I'd almost bet real money that we'll be reading our Chicken Soup stories
as
we slurp our, you know what, at Chicken soup fast food places in a few
years.

How could I have ever worried that at our current pace we'd run out of
books
to prepare for Bookshare? As long as there's a Jack Canfield, or Canfield
Heirs or corporation, our bowl of, you guessed it, chicken soup, to scan
and
validate, will overfloweth..or did I mean to say runneth overeth.

Tell me Canfield wouldn't dare publish, "Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian
Soul!"

Now to confess what a mark I am. I actually want to read Chicken Soup for
the writer's soul, which I own and will mail to anyone who will volunteer
to
scan it. I'm serious. I mean it.

Nobody has to own up to this, but how many of you admit to yourselves that you'd dream up a sappy tale if Jack Canfield asked you nicely? How many of
you would contribute to Chicken Soup for The Blind Soul?

And one last admission. I'm very relieved that Chicken Soup for the
Booksharian's Soul is served franchise free on these lists every day. Ours
is nonprofit, unedited, and homemade!

Always with love,

Lissi

 Dear Kasondra,

 Here are a couple of books that might interest you. I found them on
Amazon, but you or an interested volunteer might be able to get them from
the library.

 For your school project-

BLOG; Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing the World
by Hugh Hewitt, $8.00

 For you, because I know you have at least 2 little crumb crushers at
home-

 Chicken Soup for the Mothers of Preschooler's Souls: Stories to Refresh
the Soul and Rekindle the Spirit of Moms of Little Ones.-editors Canfield,
Hansen, Nickless and Morgan.

 I hope everything's going well in your very busy household. It's good to
see you pop in on list now and then. Good luck with your assignment and
everything!

 Always with love,

 Lissi

in the accessibility of books and information for blind people


    I am looking for a blogging site that is accessible to blind people.
My final English paper in my online class is a blog that persuades people
on
a particular topic.  I am going to write about the improvements in
accessibility of information for blind people.  Of course, I want to talk
about bookshare, but I want to talk about other sources.  Are there any
professional papers or other sources on the topic that I could reference?
Please email me any information, you think would be helpful.  Thank you
for
all your help.
