just call me the library lady

I honestly wouldn't mind that distinction somewhere down the road, I don't think. ahem. :)

There's a site out there, called Bookshare. It's basically one great huge blind accessible library full of downloadable books. I had a subscription a while ago but was a featherhead and let it lapse; I think it had something to do with having trouble getting files to read. but now I have both a clue and a distinct lack of accessible sci-fi/fantasy books about because... well. small town libraries and my off the wall (Dad's words, not mine) interests don't always mix, especially when one is working strictly in audio formats. so I renewed the subscription.

And I am so, so seriously glad I did! Because there's Neverwhere, and the Young Wizards series, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and good Omens and a lapful of books set in Garion's universe and about a zillion discworld novels and eeee! *dances about, beaming* Chanter the bookworm strikes again. :)

I foresee a crudload of late nights ahead, and only some of them will have to do with insomnia and/or university coursework. *solemn*

:D!

You have awesome taste in books. :)

*beams* thank you! That makes me all warm and fuzzy. I blame most of the choices on milliways_bar as I heard about most of them via characters from those canons turning up in the bar.

Ok, I'm totally gonna have to start reading that, then. Pratchett is superawesome, and Neverwhere is one of my favorite books ever. Good Omens is probably my most favorite book ever.

*book lover!*

I read them both when I was about eleven, give or take, along with the other two in that series. I've had ideas for alternat worlds running round my head lately and needed to check the info I remembered, and got happily caught up again. :D

When you renewed your subscription, did you do so via the student grant? Students now get bookshare for free.
:D and I know what you mean about bookshare. It's one of the places I check pretty much every evening to see if there's something new for me to read.
Also, I've probably told you this before, but if you ever need an ebook and can't find it on bookshare, let me know. I have several sources for ebooks and am known for being able to find most of the things I'm asked for. (a few exceptions are always lerking though.)
And I hear you're coming here! Yay! IF you have any questions before you come, just let me know.

Nope, didn't do it via the student subscription; didn't think of it at the time. I'm out a very well-spent forty bucks, anyway. :)

And *hugs* thanks. I'll remember that. :)
