BetterWorldBooks.com is having a sale. I may have just geeked out on Margaret Atwood titles. #sorrynotsorry #BetterWorldBooks
pickI loved this collection of...excerpts? Margaret Atwood is somewhat removed from her novels in this collection. I loved it. Such concise language and powerful imagery, but with lots of humor. She explores everything from cats to imagining what it would be like if Chicken Little‘s apocalyptic ideations went too far. Easy book to pick up and not put down. But the mini essays make it something you can also leave and come back to.
@AmyG! My birthday #feedareader package is amazing! Thank you so much! A Margaret Atwood book I haven't read and don't own ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ an adorable bookmark, the cutest dang socks, and so much more! The recipe sounds delicious and I can't wait to cook it next week! 😋
so-soI'd thought this book of "mini-essays" would be a quick read, but It wasn't the case for me. One reason was the brevity of the essays/stories gave me little to latch on to. Many had a creepy quality that made me not want to read them in the middle of the night, which is when I do much of my reading with an infant. And overall they just felt very hit or miss. It's hard not to enjoy Atwood's writing, but some of this seemed less polished than usual.
Illustrations by Margaret Atwood. It's worth the read just to see these drawings.
This is fictional essays - like short stories, but not. I'm pretty sure they are going over my head. I was hoping for a Handmaid-like novel. This isn't that.
Just got back from the library! 🤓 I'm one happy girl.
The cats have called it a night, but I'm still reading! Working on books 5 and 6. #catsoflitsy #readathon #stillgoing #grittyeyeballs
so-soI liked only a handful of the very short stories included in this collection.
Can we just take a moment to admire Margaret Atwood? I did not know she did illustrations but I am not surprised at how whimsical, weird and all around awesome they are. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 x 100
...you don't want to create evidence, you don't want to attract the wrong sort of attention to these loved ones of yours, some of whom – you're now discovering – are not people at all, but cities and landscapes, towns and lakes and clothing you used to wear and neighborhood cafés and long-lost dogs.
