Indeed.

Makes me sad. 😔

Yeah, me, too. But we’re not alone in that.

Very true! 💙

I’m also reading!

💙

I need to finish it. I stopped midway through cause it was getting to me and I was feeling hopeless. But omg, it’s so relevant at this time!

Don’t blame you for stopping.
I almost did a few times myself.

💖 Octavia Butler, but I was not able to finish Parable of the Talents. How much more crap could happen to those poor people?

Same here. I’m trying to start on Parable of TBR Talents. Just can’t right now 😔

Yep. It's also consistent with all of history, and even how religious leaders and religions first start.

Yes indeed.

I’m re-reading this now! Next up, Parable of the Talents. Both these are MUST reads, particularly now.

I’m trying so hard to start on Parable of the Talents.. but just can’t! :(

I totally get that. Sower was just so good. Talents was different for me, it didn’t read as smoothly as Sower did for me.

Good to know..

Omg same! It’s hard to digest 😭
