I liked all of these covers, so I added them all. For some reason, I had no idea that this book was published in 1986. It feels so so current. I wanted to read it before watching any of the Hulu series, which looks great. This will officially be my fifth Margaret Atwood book. I think I like her 🙂 This book just tosses you right into the everday slog of being a Handmaiden. You wake up in a blank, meaningless room, put on your […]
The Final MaddAddam
So this is the final book in the MaddAddam trilogy. I was so-so on book 1, and I loved book 2. I felt like the second book tied together all of the crap you had to sit through in the first book. Then the third book ties it together even more, and even wraps everything up. Here are a few things I learned along the way, and stuff I took note of. I don’t think that’s a great sentence, but it’s Monday, so CUT ME […]
Part 2 of the MaddAddam trilogy – much better than part 1!
I Think I Read This at Just the Right Time in My Life
With the recent release of television adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, I made a realization: I am a Canadian who has never read anything by Margaret Atwood before. And she a national treasure!!! You’d think I would have at least come across something in my school curriculum, especially given that I even studied English as my minor in university. Really the only prominent Canadian author I had as assigned reading was Alice Munro. That seems… odd to me. But in any case, here we are […]
Looking on with a shame and confusion we can’t identify.
I have tried diligently to avoid trailers for the Hulu adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, because I wanted to avoid the hype and feeling disappointed (I’m *very* disappointed Hulu renewed it for a second season, because it should be a one-and-done deal. Like, where else are you going to take this story? ANYWHOO). I decided before I started the Hulu series that I needed to re-read the book, because it had been about 5-6 years. HOLY SHITSNACKS YOU GUYS. I told my husband […]
Terrifyingly timely
There’s been a whole bunch of reviews posted for this book already, so I’m not going to spend a lot of time recapping the plot in my own words. Goodreads can help me out here: Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to the food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her […]
