Another German Book, Possibly

First off, Behind the Wheel, both 1 and 2 in Braille, are finally being proofread by a German speaker. Book 2 of the audio edition is corrupted and my library isn’t going to do anything about it. The overseas librarian, or someone working closely with her, is trying to get another book imported into BARD.… Continue reading Another German Book, Possibly

It is played on iPhone and iPad, and the guy who developed it served in the Marines, and tried to kill… Continue reading A New Game, for Me
