Yes! Nothing is scary than climate change to me (just ask my therapist 😅). I, too, want to read some of Octavia Butler's books. I also added Margaret Attwood's The Year of the Flood to my list this year as well as Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson (another from an Obama reading list). I'm very curious about the rest of these and Creation Lake.
I've got three on my list! (Creation Lake, Birnam Wood, Parable of the Sower). Creation Lake is one of the only new buzzy books I really want to read because ive heard mixed reviews which makes me even MORE curious
I was absolutely chilled by some of the content pertaining to the world as we know it now in the 2020s that was foreshadowed/predicted in Parable of the Sower. Such a good book. And it has a graphic novel adaptation, which is intriguing. I’m really excited for new Erdrich, too. Great list!
Oooh! Please make an exception and write about the Didion and Babitz book for The Group Project!!! I am so curious about this book but haven't read any Babitz and was wondering if I would "get" it.
You would get it, I think, if you trust Anolik because she says it’s all autobiographical and then tells you all Eve’s business. No promises but yes, thanks for the invite and I can check back w/you when I finish it. I thought of that— but then I wasn’t sure it would count. This book so far is more Babitz than Didion.

Yes this list really is missing a flood book. Thanks for checking it out Brittany. Say hi to your therapist for me! 🌊

We are on a similar wavelength!! Yes, so curious. Need to read it for myself 👀
Ooo I’m definitely going to check out Creation Lake! Thanks for this list 🙏🏾
Shae— thank you!
I hear The Disaster Tourist by Yun Ko-eun revolves around this theme. Haven’t read it yet but the premise sounds interesting.
Yes, that’s one I culled from the possibilities but maybe it shouldn’t have. It might have lent a different, lighter note to this cocktail!

So I have heard. I am intrigued. I didn’t know about the graphic novel— I’ll check that out! Thanks for reading, Cori!
