Quite a chilling tale of a possible future dystopia from the viewpoint of a handmaid, Offred (belonging to Fred). Womens rights are greatly restricted and some men are in total control. I haven't seen the movie or the TV series but I have looked at the recent graphic novel. I recommend it for open-minded adults or older teens. Reminds me of 1984 a bit.

Reading this as a girl I remember being charmed by the idea of having lots of kids, but now I just kept thinking 6 children is WAY too many children 😂

Honestly, should have known as soon as I realized the gods placing the bet were Olympians/of the Ancient Greek pantheon, that this would have a tragic tone. As much as one might expect introducing a human-analogue consciousness into the minds of dogs would at least make things complicated, I think this was the bleakest possible interpretation of the premise. 1/2

Those willows... suspicious. 🤨

Part exculpation from world-building, part segue. Nicely done! 👍🏻

Loved this cold, gothic historical fiction novel set in Newfoundland. The novel tracres the war between siblings in a small coastal village. Great on audio. 4 🌟

I wonder about that sometimes too, Benjy. 😏

These are just a few of the books from my #TBR I've chosen for tomorrow's #Readathon

Current reads colour way:
Something about the pairing of black and warm reddy-browns that adds a more solemn touch. Appropriate considering the tone of Fifteen Dogs and the subject matter of The Ghost Script.
