I meant to post this earlier this week but things got away from me during work. Wednesday I got to see Chimamanda speak about her writing and her work as a feminist. I loved every minute of it. I was super lucky also to get my copy of the tagged book signed by her. So far I‘ve only read her nonfiction essays which I loved and hope to get into her fiction soon.

With a variety of information, each chapter in this book went into depth on a specific area of concern in agriculture but at the same time, it did a very good job of weaving all the information together. The best part about reading this was that I was at the greenhouses on the Univesrity of Minnesota Campus while learning all about the work Norman Borlaug did in his career.

Getting some reading done for school at one of the patios by work 👍 Last book for my class I need to complete before graduation.

I feel like the author knew what he was talking about but at the same time he wasn't sure about anything. There was no overarching story or even a time line to follow. He also repeated himself a lot throughout the book as he transitoned from one topic to the next which made me feel like he didn't fully understand how the current sections connected with the others throughout the book.

Avoiding my other schoolwork responsibilities by reading this book for class.... 🤷♀️ I‘m still technically doing homework right?

I think this is a really good book for anyone who is interested in a basic foundation on the energy industry and the struggles we will be facing with striving to gain large percentages of their energy from renewables. There are some concerns from my friends in the energy sector about some of the information not completely describing things accurately but overall felt it was a good foundation to build off of.
Next audiobook for class and for my workouts 👍

I can‘t believe I loved a book on the history of genetics...
This book starts at the very beginning of the field with Darwin and Mendel and works its way all the way to present day with the creation of the human genome project and gene therapy.
I would highly recommend for anyone interested in genetics, eugenics and racism, gender identity and more!

I can definitely say that I never expected myself to put off reading a fantasy novel to keep pick up a required book on the history of genes. Wow, I can‘t get enough of this and the audiobook that I‘m listening too simultaneously is superb!
