Dear Booksharian Friends,
I’m mailing books for scanners to scan and keep later today. Let me know if you are willing to scan any of the following and I’ll get them out to you in today’s mail. No strings, just hoping to get more books into willing scanners’ hands.
1, 2, 5, 8, 12, 14, and 16 are on their way.
I believe I’ve lost one of the lists resulting in changed numbers but the following are the books still available.

And, I miswrote the title of 16 which should have read, Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy From Mars.

3. Women of Darkness II edited by Kathryn Ptacek - 18 short horror stories by women writers 260 pages

4. When They Took Away The Man in the Moon by Kate Lehrer – 243 pages – novel about childhood memories, family roots and unrealistic expectations for our modern lives.

6. Unofficial Verdicts The Central Park Jogger Trials by Timothy Sullivan – nonfiction - 314 – some complex pages (end matter) may be skipped. otherwise easy scan

7. The Imperfect Mirror Inside Stories of Television Newswomen nonfiction by Daniel Painsner 256 pages excluding double column index which can be skipped. Nice wide margins.

9. Courage to be Myself by Carlos G. Valles, S.J. – Looks like a good self help book or memoir 228 pages, great margins, non yellowing, great for scanning

10. Royal Service my Twelve years as valet to prince Charles by Stephen P. Barry – 244 pages

17. Perilous Weekend by Arlene Hale – mass market romantic suspense, 204 pages, some yellowing around the margins, Bridal party turns into a nightmare...

18. Montana Legacy by R. C. Ryan, 296 pages, mass market but very new, no yellowing, romance, forever Press, Woman who broke rancher’s heart returns offering help...

19. Three Stations by Martin Cruz Smith, an arkady Renko Novel, 245 pages, a suspense story set on a passenger train, one of my y kinds of mysteries, these are set in Russia, The cop is observant, intuitive, Ironic, fights not only wrongdoers but the corrupt state apparatus as well. It’s not that I’m ultra politically entrenched here, but I love reading these books both for the fine mystery and the interesting perspective on a country on the other side of the world where I’ll never go. Of course, I still like reading about Ireland best!

20. Do You Sometimes Feel Like Nobody? Tim Stafford (Campus Life) – 156 pages, nice self help, I think says things on back cover like: Learn to love yourself, accept the love of others, stop hiding insecurities, get past guilty feelings, see yourself as God sees you...

21. We’re Never Alone, A Woman’s Look at our Modern World, Eileen Guder, 148, mass market but absolutely no yellowing so should be a great scan. women’s issues

22. Google Eyes, Anne Fine, Large print, a scanner’s dream to scan, 219 pages, Two girls talk about the problems when there are new men in their mother’s lives, I think Google eyes is what one girl calls the guy courting her mom with chocolates, etc.

23. The Ghost Child by Sonya Hartnett, 176, lovely, wide margins, I think this is a fantasy about a girl who falls in love with a wild kind of boy called Feather. They live happily by the sea for years and then Feather doesn’t come home and Maddy goes on a fantastic journey across the sea in search of him.

24. The Process of Excelling, practical how to guide for managers and supervisors, by Roger E. Herman, 172 pages, wide margins

26. Figs in Frost by Denise Robins mass market, about 250 pages, young woman marries to please her parents and comes to hate her brutish husband, When she falls in love with another man her husband makes her choose between her new love and losing her two young daughters.

27. To Swim Across /the World, by Frances Park and Ginger Park – 280 pages, based on true story of the authors’ parents who endured the Japanese occupation of Korea. Must have a happy ending because the authors are alive to write the story. Beautiful wide margins and lines not too close together.

If you don’t make the mailing on February 16th, we mail almost every week on Thursday, so take your time perusing. Please consider helping add one or more of these books.

  Always with love and hope,
