I recently purchased books to write about. One is Exploring Creation with Astronomy. I will work on that one first.
Melanie says
Kind of makes you want to write disclaimers like, “Okay, I really REALLY like this book, but I bought it with my own money. I promise. Really. Nobody is paying me to say this. Got that, FTC? You can’t have $11,000; I need it to buy books. So go away. Nothing for you to see here.”
Thanks for sharing, Donna!
Tressa says
Wow. That is just crazy. All I can think is “meddle meddle meddle”.
