Dear Jamie and Booksharian Friends, In support of Jamie's Random Acts of Kindness book wish fulfillment project, Evan will scan and I'll proofread, Hardy Boys #137 High-Speed Showdown and Hardy Boys #143 The Giant Rat of Sumatra. Bookshare already has well over 200 Hardy Boys titles. Their are several Hardy Boys series. The above books aren't there yet and I have about 10 more to add if we can get to them. I'll be glad to validate these others. If anyone is interested in scanning and you think you can get them from your library, I'll send you a list of what I have to use for double checking as I proofread. These books are very worn retired library books. Their battered state tells me many kids checked them out and read them. At the sale where I found them a middle school aged boy was frantically going through the stacks on the tables looking for books to complete his collection. I wish we had a newsletter to highlight parts of the collection, to tempt readers, to post challenges, etc. It would be such fun for kids to write in to tell us they were hooked on a series and how many books they'd read so far! We have series for all ages including: Sammy Keyes, Arthur Clifford Nutty Nutzel, Marven Redpost Nancy Drew Sweet Valley Making Out, Girl Talk Junie B. Jones, Frog and Toad, Babysitter's Club, Pee Wee Scouts Baily School, Bad News Ballet The Mummy Series Star Wars Help I'm Trapped in... And scads of fantasy series I don't know the names of. Many of these are nearing completion, are up to date or are complete. Does Bookshare have a series section? And, does it have a series section for adults? Before Bookshare I never had the luxury of reading a series in order. I appreciate all the work of everyone who has contributed to this genre of escapist reading entertainment. Always with love, Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Yates, CPhT To: Bookshare Volunteers Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 1:51 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] February is Random Acts of Kindness month February is Random Acts of Kindness month. Perhaps we can each pick a book from the every growing wishlist and scan it as a Random Act of Kindness? -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: The Burning of Rachel Hayes by Douglas Allyn Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
