Mailbox Monday Jan 18th


This is a short post. I acquired two books in my mailbox. The first was purchased from Borders.com. After reading the reviews of a great many of my fellow bloggers, I bought Fallen by Lauren Kate. The book is quite alluring. I have not opened it yet, because I have a few books I must finish first. From the reviews, I know it has the potential to cancel plans in order that one may continue reading the book. I am quite excited to have it waiting in the wings. The second book I received compliments of Thomas Nelson Publishing to review. It is caled The Selfless Gene by Charles Foster. The ideas the book deal with have intrigued me since high school. I even did a large project in grad school on Origins and developed a spectrum of authors on the subjects of evolution and creation.  So, I literally jumped at the opportunity to review this book. Now if I can just finish the two of the library books I have started, I will be  able to open the covers of both my new books.

Thanks to the Printed Page for hosting Mailbox Mondays.

And now I am signing off to continue reading Between Two Queens.

  6. I look forward to your thoughts on The Selfless Gene book. I've been happy to see more books lately that discuss evolution in a religious context (without calling names).
