Finished: The Women, by Kristin Hannah
Started: Cribsheet by Emily Oster
I’m 7 months pregnant so trying alternate books I read for fun with all the baby books!
**A Clergyman’s Daughter, by George Orwell**
Finished. The parts centered around the clergyman himself are VERY funny. Other than that, it’s another Orwell’s novel that deals with themes of rural/urban life and poverty. One chapter is written as a stage play scene, homeless trying to get through a cold night. This, along with Orwell’s other, more plainly factual descriptions have stuck out to me the most. There’s also an existentialist passage that ultimately gets simply shrugged off.
**The World According to Garp, by John Irving**
Slowly continued. I had no expectations, going in. I’m somewhat amused and will probably keep the book around.
**Annihilation, by Jeff VanderMeer**
Started, for something completely different.
**Nature of Geographic Information Systems, by David DiBiase**
Skimmed to see if I want to learn more.
I’m also binging the *If Books Could Kill* podcast.
