HI Valerie, It's NOT greedy to proofread books that you enjoy! It's absolutely a help for EVERYONE involved. The more you care about a book, the easier it is to do a thorough job proofreading it! So, enjoy away! I know I try to proofread only books that I enjoy unless asked specifically to proofread something I don't enjoy. And even then I often find that what I thought would be uninteresting is often just the opposite. So enjoy away!

We actually have a pretty wonderful life. I guess anything is what you make it, and we are grateful for tools like BookShare that add to quality of life. I also enjoy cross stitching, although that is a distant second right now. Reading is very relaxing, and proofing comes naturally to me. That's why I'm being so greedy and requesting books that I will especially enjoy because they bring back happy childhood memories. Pretty narrow minded of me in one sense, but that way I'm fulfilling three objectives at once. Take care!

I don't know if I could manage it. I hope that, now and then, you can find someone to take over while you spend some time just relaxing.
