The hunt is on! Have you seen this book?

 In a digital or accessible format, I mean. 

Hello, friends. I have often shared the ups and downs of becoming visually impaired, and my sad resignation when I could no longer see print. I've even touched on how, after years of struggle, I finally accepted my new reality and dismantled my library.  Technology is truly amazing, and I'm so blessed to be able to track down accessible copies of my favorite re-reads through services such as Kindle, the NLS Talking Books program, and the always-amazing Bookshare.org.

But there are still some I cannot find in an accessible format. Like this gem:





















Ravenswood by Janet Louise Roberts. As you can tell from the image, this tattered old copy has traversed the country as I moved from state to state, and while Mr. Munder is somewhat willing to read it aloud to me, it's not his favorite genre and I've yet to get over my frustration when I can't read what I want, when I want, but must depend on others.

While there are accessible copies of *some* of her books available, this is one I've had no luck finding. So, the hunt is on and I can use all the help I can get! Let me know if you come across a copy of this book in any format other than paperback or hardback. I'd appreciate it.

Do you have a treasured re-read you come back to time and time again? Share one of your old favorites and I'll see if I can find it in an accessible format.
