I started this a few months ago, but was unable to finish it before it needed to go back to the library. The holds list just sent it back and I find it so enjoyable.
pickSecond time reading this now! I think I'll write my next assignment on this. It's so well written and highlights the capitalist society we live in. Consumerism and capitalism could be the end... Atwood highlights this through her speculative fiction. #litstudent #dystopia #atwood #litstudentsoflitsy #coffeeandpaper
I‘m “stuck” under a cat, so I‘ll choose some #redandwhite covers from my Kindle app. Most of which have quite a bit of black too. #dearDecember @Eggs
Heading to the hospital bright and early Monday a.m. for knee replacement surgery. Will only be in the hospital overnight, but I‘ve heard the recovery can take a long time. These are the library books I‘ll have with me to (hopefully) read over the next week.
pick3/5
I think I had too high of expectations for this. It‘s very plot-driven and moves fast, so it‘s a page-turner. However, I thought it lacked depth and felt Aunt Lydia‘s complex and compelling POV was the only thing that kept me going. Feels more like a follow-up to the show than book, but marked it as a pick since it‘s entertaining.

pickIt took me a while to get to Margaret Atwood's The Testaments because I wanted to make sure I was "caught up" first. I've read The Handmaid's Tale a couple of times (the last time was a while ago!), and @kirkmoyers and I have been watching the series on Hulu. I was excited when I heard the announcement of this new book, but also a little scared. It's so easy for a much-anticipated book NOT to live up to expectations.⠀⬇️
Bought to be a Christmas gift for a cellist I know. It looks really great. I'm not a fan of the review right on the cover though.
pickI give this one an unequivocal "Heck yeah!" The way Toews unspools the story, dropping little details that entirely shift one's perception of a character, is masterful, as is her ability to build suspense. She tells so much through a glance or the touch of a hand. So, so glad I picked this one up before the year was out!
