Also, the book club will be starting again with the first vote next Sunday, do any of you have any themes or topics you'd want the book club to cover?

I gave that book and parable of the talents to my brother in law for christmas and he is also enjoying it.
The book really changed the way I see things but it takes conscious effort every day.
I would recommend Octavia’s Parables podcast because they go chapter by chapter and ask interesting questions based on the chapter.
Nice. I've finished Sower, but I'm gonna hopefully get some sort of group together where I'll reread it again and follow along with the podcast. It's definitely one of my new favorites. I'll be checking the local used bookstore for copies to give out. It's a bit morbidly hilarious that I'm a middle aged, cishet white guy and Lauren is one of the characters I've most identified with in years. I'm one of the only mask wearers I know in Florida and for almost a decade I've been trying to convince my friends and family to relocate up north before Climate Change destroys any chance of getting money for their property. Now with covid, roe, and desantis going off the rails, they're finally starting to entertain the ideas.🤞
I finished Talents yesterday. I really enjoyed it as she's a very smooth and easy read but
spoiler
I was really hoping for something more revolutionary for Earthseed. I get it, given that Sower was probably written in response to Reagan and Talents just as Clinton was beginning his rise, but dang. Sower had me thinking we were heading for communes and co-ops and instead it went for 'let's get rich people to do good things."
I've convinced a lib friend to check out Sower tho.👍
