Genetics

I've recently fallen in love with nonfiction books. I used to find them extremely dull but now I find them really mentally stimulating. Plus, I've had really bad luck finding good fiction books lately, so I was looking for a change. So I went to the library a few days ago and picked up a book on genetics. I don't know much about it, other than what I learned about in my tenth grade biology class, but I felt like it would be a really interesting topic to learn about. But while I was reading it, I started to think about the traits that I inherited from my parents, the physical and the personality traits. And I thought it'd be fun to dissect myself and see what I got from each parent.

I'm pretty evenly split among my parents as you can see, even though my personality is way more complicated than that. I always thought that I was more like my mom but I see now that's not the case. 

If you guys have any book recommendations, I'd really like to know about them! Leave them in a comment below and I'll be sure to check them out! 

Happy Sunday!
