Sign Language Companion: A Handbook of British Signs | CATH. SMITH

I am currently taking a course trying to learn British Sign Language and I would like to learn more about deaf culture and I was wondering if anyone knew of any novels which have this included? I‘d be very grateful! Thank you

TieDyeDude I'm not sure about novels. I read a non-fiction book that examined the independent development of a new form of sign language that was really interesting and looked at sign language from a linguistic and social POV. There is also a hearing-impaired contestant on this year's Great British Baking Show, which was cool to see, though her interpreter was not shown too often and she wore a device, so her signing was also minimal. 12mo

Megabooks You may already know this! True Biz features American Sign Language, which because of the influence of French teachers at early American deaf schools, is more similar to LSF than British Sign Language. However, I will recommend this memoir by an American Deaf author. I love how he talked about traveling with other Deaf folks who speak other sign languages.

Why do I have 2 copies? Excellent question. I was organizing my bookcase & saw Skyhunter. I knew, just knew I had a copy of Steelstriker. But could I find it? Of course not. I figured I was mistaken & ordered a new copy. Well, guess what. Today I found my original copy. Tucked into a fabric dust cover & then lost under a stack of other things.

My mistake can be your gain. I‘m giving away the copy. To enter, just comment below.

wanderinglynn Enter by 8pm EDT Sunday, July 30. Winner to be announced shortly thereafter. I will mail international. 1y

Great graphic novel based upon the babysitter‘s club book of the same name. Granted it is a little streamlined, but it is a graphic novel after all.

Today, I‘m sharing the library holds I haven‘t read. I placed a lot of library holds in 2022 and cancelled all of them because of the wait times being so long on Libby and I was overwhelmed. I ended up buying the audiobooks for Malice and Misrule on Audible. I‘ll probably read a lot of these books on Audible or Scribd if they don‘t become available on Libby. However if they‘re available to borrow on Libby, that‘s even better.

Today, I‘m sharing library holds that I‘ve read and star ratings. I thought it would be interesting to share this. I listened to the audiobook for Something Blue by Emily Giffin on Scribd and I listened to the audiobook for A Touch Of Jen on Audible because I didn‘t want to wait for the audiobooks to become available but other than that, I was able to listen to the audiobooks for these other books on Libby without the wait times being too long.
