a little time away

I haven’t been posting a lot over the past week or so ~ mainly because of that unspoken prayer request. It’s taking up a lot of my time, energy, and brain function. No worries ~ I’m doing well. Please just continue to pray for me when you have a moment. I really do appreciate it.

The other thing that’s taking up some of my time is a book I received the other day. It’s a new Ted Dekker book, titled Adam. The book hasn’t been released yet, but I received a review copy from the publisher. Oh. My. Goodness. I’m totally absorbed in this book! The Christian Fiction Blog Alliance will be doing a blog tour of the book February 20-22. I’ll post a review then. But, unless for some reason the book bottoms out towards the end, it’s going to get a major thumbs-up from me.

By the way, if you have a blog and you’re interested in receiving books to review (the books are free from the publisher), check out The Christian Fiction Blog Alliance. I’ve received some great books from them. You can find the qualifications for becoming a CFBA reviewer listed on this page. Another great group to join is the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy ~ they operate in a different genre than CFBA, and I’ve received some great science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction from them. And thirdly, you might consider joining F.I.R.S.T. (Fiction In Rather Short Takes). They do one book a month, and ask that you post the first chapter for that month’s book on your blog (the first chapter is provided for you ~ you don’t have to type the whole thing up! LOL). All 3 of these groups have been wonderful, and I really enjoy reading and reviewing the books they offer. I don’t read and review ALL of the books they offer each month ~ I wouldn’t have time to do anything else if I did!

I’m off to read a few more pages (or chapters) of Adam………

P.S. I’ve posted a couple of new reviews on my book review site Books & Book Reviews (how’s that for a catchy blog name?!) ~ enjoy!
