We’re getting so close to our 200th episode, but first, we have a book club episode for you. In Episode 198, we’re talking about Gen’s pick—Orwell’s Roses by Rebecca Solnit.
Show Notes
This book felt extremely relevant to everything happening in the world these days, like oof.
Truly so many topics were covered in this book! The rise of Communism and the Soviet Union, the Spanish Civil War, the Carboniferous Era, coal mining, rose production in Colombia, and actually so much more. What a ride.
Rebecca Solnit, we are so impressed with the structuring of this book.
You can read Orwell’s essay, “Politics and the English Language,” on the Orwell Foundation website and it is very much worth the read.
Don’t be surprised if Gen picks Nineteen Eighty-Four as a future book club read.
If you follow us on Instagram, you may know that we’ve fallen down the romance rabbit hole, so we decided that our next episode would be all about the romance genre.
After that, it’s time for our 200th episode! We still can’t believe it.
Our next book club book is Jette’s pick, and we’re following the romance train still with In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde, which is a spin off of the extremely popular Windy City series.
