To be honest, it seems to me that when someone places a book on the
checkout list, especially with a descriptive synopsis, and someone else
picks it up for proofreading then the submitter has been matched with a
proofreader.

"I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither
white,
black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family,
there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human
being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and
with another human being.... The worst form of a human being, I believe,
is
one who judges another human being by the color of his skin."

I wonder if there could be a way to match proofreaders with submitters. I
am doing a lot for Gwen since she likes Christian books that deal with the
old west or families but I also do romances and books with adult content
like Zane for example which is more my cup of tea plus vampires so at
least I try to do what people like.

I read a little bit of everything.
Right now I'm validating one of Amber's scans--a historical novel set in
World War II. I've also got another epic fantasy which I'm validating
that I'm enjoying, and I just got offered a science fiction romance.
I
like a little bit of everything, but mostly I like books with a little
(or a lot, as the case may be) romance and fantasy. I've also been
reading lots of YA lately since Bookshare seems to be really putting out
lots of great books for teenagers.
Oh and I use Shantastic because there is at least one other Shannon, so
I figure we should be unique. *LOL*

Thanks, y'all. You've made me feel better about releasing the book.
Hopefully someone else will come along who will love it more than I
did.

Hi all,
Shannon, you've just made me smile! Yes, I've had that same problem.
I started proofing a book and discovered that it was a "Christian"
mystery. Man was it a Christian mystery with a capital C. Now, I'm a
Christian, but I don't want to have to be preached to while I'm
reading or proofing a mystery. The author got more and more preachy,
the longer the book went on, so finally, I just released it. I
couldn't take it any more. It was awful! There are any number of
reasons for releasing a book, and extreme dislike or feeling
uncomfortable with the book's content is a valid reason for releasing
the book so that somebody else can proof it.
