In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination | 
pickIt's no secret here on my Litsy feed that I adore Margaret Atwood. 💚 In Other Worlds, which I listened to as an audiobook read by Atwood, was such an immersive look into her thoughts on sci-fi. I loved the sections of the book where she talked about her childhood and the stories she created then. I discovered a few new authors as well through Atwood's critics of other writers who influenced her.
Post 1/3 of my Russell books #bookhaul! I‘ve been slowly getting into Le Guin since she passed, but finding good quality used editions of her books can be rough. I was super stoked for these finds! #sciencefiction
Local indie had a sale and I accidentally bought more books. Just couldn‘t say no to 24% off. 😍
💚 Atwood on Le Guin & vice versa 💚

This book has lots of fun back and forth between Atwood and Le Guin over what is science fiction. It was only in going through this book a second time that I realized it's dedicated to Le Guin! 💚👩❤️👩👯💚
pickThis is a fantastic read for insight into Atwood's writing, reading, thinking, and even drawing (although apparently only the ebook has this last feature?). A total delight. This is a childhood picture of hers - "flying rabbits."
This book has some many interesting tidbits & thoughts from Atwood! I love how she cited the old cleaning product on the right as inspiration for the handmaids' outfits #rediscoveringatwood
so-soI definitely like her fiction more than her non fiction but I can't help myself as I am addicted to her writing.
A collection of essays about sci-fi/speculative fiction by the incomparable Margaret Atwood. First thing that came to mind for #booksaboutbooks.

pickCan't go wrong with Atwood!
pickHere's a view of the #endpapers from In Other Worlds by Margaret Atwood for today's #ReadJanuary challenge! The book is an excellent collection of essays about Atwood's experiences with science fiction and fantasy growing up and how these genres have influenced her literary novels. I'd recommend this book to fans of Neil Gaiman's nonfiction collection The View From The Cheap Seats and to those who the phrase "Speculative Fiction" means something.
pickAtwood is the best kind of crazy!
So spot on!
When it comes to genres, the borders are increasingly undefended, and things slip back and forth across them with insouciance.
