they'll make a god of her

Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler. Sequel to Parable of the Sower that I read last month. Even more gripping and brutal than the first book. Some of it is really like reading an analysis of the current state of America and it (in 1998) literally predicted the 'make America great again' slogan. Interesting use of diary/journal format and the main character's daughter's commentary on the journals.

In TV, I watched Careme which is kind of like The Bear but they're sexy spies in Napoleonic France. I enjoyed the spy shenanigans but I don't think I care enough about food to appreciate a lot of these food-focused shows.
