Ok, after some delay on my part, the new book reviews are up: www.paradevo.net/books.htmlHUGE THANKS to Lee for encouraging me to write them, and for posting them to the site. Of course, the selection of books reflects my interests, or rather, which books look appealing to me. This time around, it's mostly romances with a blind or deaf theme. A few are great, some are howlingly bad, most are somewhere in the middle. Devo Girl reads the bad ones so you don't have to. ;D If you are looking for romances with an SCI theme, here is a very long list: www.romantictimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11234No reviews, though, so you're on your own. And it bears repeating, any of you are free to submit your own reviews of any books you've read featuring disabled characters. Aim for about a paragraph in length, and rank it from zero to four stars. I hope this is useful for our devotee members. I'm posting some of my reviews to Amazon as well, so don't be surprised if you see them there as well.

Thanks for doing this, Devogirl! She really put a lot of time and energy into writing these reviews, so you should check them out.
And of course, if you want to send me your own reviews, use the guidelines that Devogirl stated and email them to me.

i remember seeing the movie "kissed" way back when. i seem to recall a feeling of relating to her experience of having a socially unacceptable sexual attraction... and being so grateful that my devism was so tame in comparison! your review has definitely made me want to pick up the barbara gowdy book and check it out. thanks for the tip.

You're welcome! It is a good little indie movie, and the short story is even better. It's nice to be able to recommend some real literature in addition to all the trashy romance, ha ha.
