Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books they received during the previous week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists! Mailbox Monday, which was started by Marcia at The Printed Page, is on blog tour—and I’m thrilled to be hosting this month!I received one book in the mail for review this past week: The Find by Kathy Page, which I will be reviewing on November 10 for the 2010 Green Book Campaign: 1 Day, 200 Books, 200 Reviews run by Eco-Libris.
Here’s the blurb from the author’s site:
A day’s prospecting leads paleontologist Anna Silowski to make an extraordinary discovery in a remote part of British Columbia, but at the same time, the tensions below the surface of her successful career are exposed. Pushed towards breakdown, she finds herself unexpectedly dependent on high-school drop out Scott Macleod, and recruits him to help on the excavation of her find. Scott is soon way out of his depth, and the excavation itself teeters on the edge of disaster. The Find is a compelling story about discovery, inheritance and fate, and a moving exploration of the possibilities that hide within a seemingly impossible relationship.
I also ordered myself a copy of The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker’s Guide to Extraordinary Living by Stephen Cope, which I received at my sister’s place (where I am still). I am very much enjoying his first book (Yoga and the Quest for the True Self), which I haven’t finished reading yet!

The Find looks very interesting. I hope you had a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Wisdom of Yoga cover is very esoteric and exotic.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm doing the 2010 Green Book Campaign too! I got my book last week too. This is a great cause and happy to see you in it too.
Kathy from Bermuda Onion is joining us for this too. :)
Welcome back from the holidays :)
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea behind the Green Book Campaign, but when they sent me the list there weren't very many left.

The Find looks really good. I'll definitely have to look into that one a bit more.
ReplyDeleteI am gonna check out The Find!
ReplyDeleteI think I am finally out of reading slump!
Here is my Monday post!
I didn't know about the Green Book Campaign. It's a great idea. I'd be interested in participating when they do it again.
ReplyDeleteThe Find sounds like an interesting book -- will look forward to your review of it on the 5th!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the green books campaign too - I sure hope my book comes soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Find sounds really interesting, enjoy! :) And thanks for hosting this month!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Green Books Campaign as well. Enjoy your new books, and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDelete"Remote British Columbia" sounds terrific!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
LOVE the cover of "The Find"! The book sounds really interesting as well! Yoga?!? Well, exercise (other than walking) and I are sort of enemies, but I keep telling myself that I must get out of it ... Enjoy the reads!

The yoga books sound fascinating! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing more about the yoga book. Yoga is something I plan to get into in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on The Find. I've read Page's The Story of My Face (twice:)) and found it really interesting (it's mostly set in Finland) and The Find looks promising, too.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Tiina
Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteMy mailbox was empty, but that is ok...time to catch up. :)
