Week 9, #22

All I can say is WOW! I had looked at OverDrive a bit before, but had never heard of WOWIO and LibriVox. I was immediately excited about LibriVox. Before moving down here 20 years ago, I had been studying Braille transcribing and was just about to submit my manuscript to the Library of Congress for certification. Unfortunately, we had to move before I could complete the book and so I was unable to take my transcribing machine with me. I was very disappointed, but today I found something else that I can volunteer to do and that is record books. Fantastic! I am so excited! I have my account set up and hope to soon be joining in with the rest of the readers. WOWIO took forever to sign up for, but they had several books that I immediately placed in my Queue. I put Logic Puzzles, a biography on Neil Young called Being Young, Adams vs. Jefferson, Backyard Wedding Makeover, and Vinegar: A Guide to the Many tpes and Their Uses Around the Home. That should keep me busy for a bit! While I do like OverDrive and it's multifacited delivery of the titles, I found that WOWIO appealed to me more because I found more titles that I couldn't live without.
