A Month Into the Braille Readers are Leaders Program

I mentioned in a previous post that I'm working on improving my braille reading skills. To motivate me, I am participating in the Braille Readers are Leaders program put on by the NFB. This is the first year they're allowing adults to participate.

In that post I mentioned that I was reading Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. I am proud to tell you that I finished the book. It was almost 1000 pages in braille. As of today I have read almost 700 pages for the contest which started on Nov. 1st. I am currently reading an issue of National Geographic, but I'm hoping to order another book. If you have any recommendations please feel free to leave a comment. If you're a braille reader and haven't entered into the contest there's still time. I'm doing this for me. If I end up winning anything, I'll be happy, but mostly I'm happy because I'm improving my braille skills.
