Also, the Wish List is a good source When I scanned I found a lot of
books from the wish List and was introduced to books I loved and would
never have read otherwise, e.g., the Montana historical fiction series;
historical ficttion about native Americans (I don't remember the titles
but the stories were memorable;
Someone scanned and I proofed a series called the Libertus Mysteries;
these are well-written and extremely interesting historical fiction
detective stories set in Roman Britain; (My husband and I have been reading
library copies; Bookshare has numbers 4, 8 & 9; .

Some of you might remember that Madeleine used to send books out to us to
scan. These were books that had been donated to Bookshare and for some
reason would not be scanned in house. I was one person who requested and
scanned a number of them. I stopped asking for them, though, because the
list was reduced to books that I was not much interested in and I had come
across a number of other books to keep me busy for a while. I intended to
come back to that list at a later time, but time passed and I kind of
forgot about them. It turns out, though, that I still have a link to that
list in my bookmarks. I just looked at it and it has not been updated since
July 2015 and there are still not much of interest to me, but a few might
at least be tolerable to me and just might surprise me. There are other
books that I thought I would not be interested in that turned out to be
fascinating. Anyway, that list and the giveaways from that list were, as
far as I know, a Madeleine project and Madeleine is no longer with us. I am
wondering if the offer of these books is still open. If anyone wants to
look at them here is the link to the list: https://wiki.benetech.org/disp
