Welcome to Litsy!

Such a fun read! Joan is a very lovable, if flawed, character. The humor is part irony, part slapstick, and 100% not mean-spirited. Loved it! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Loving this early-ish Atwood!

I went through a big Margaret Atwood phase about 15 years ago but I never came across this one. Her books are always unique and this one can even be called weird but it's marvellously written; I can never quite pinpoint what is so masterful about the way she writes about her characters' inner lives. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I thought, men who changed their names were likely to be con-men, criminals, #undercover agents or magicians, whereas women who changed their names were probably just married.” #QuotsyAug21

This was my #bookspin for July. The story was okay. There was a deeper layer that I couldn't quite get to. It wasn't smooth storytelling yet, I felt like there were soms threads that didn't have a resolution. But as this book is about life, in real life not everything gets resolved either. TBH, I am a bit lost about this book. But I think that's more me than the book.

#QuotsyDec19 Day 4: #Icicle

One of Margaret Atwood's early works this novel is a bit of a parody of the Gothic romance. I found it an interesting read especially regarding the exploration of what we want in life, how we can be trapped by our fantasies, and how we see ourselves and how we present ourselves/what we allow others to see of ourselves.

Picked up a copy of this at my favorite local bookstore last weekend. I had not heard of it, but it's by Margaret Atwood so I must give it a go!

Pretty depressing. I'm not getting the humor other reviewers saw.

Today‘s non- Folio haul from Riverby Books in Fredericksburg, VA.

Rereading an old favourite! #LadyOracle #MargaretAtwood #classic

I've read quite a few Atwood novels, but this one was probably the most relatable one for me. It's not as dense as many of her more recent books and it's a great introduction to her more humorous side, especially the first half.

Just about to start this one, got it from the library. I haven't read hardly any of her books! #book #bookcover #bluebook #margaretatwood #currentread #bookmad #lovetoread

Margaret Atwood and a bath bomb on my day off are an ideal combination

Apparently the #TBRjar decided to celebrate International Woman's Day with a pick from my favorite author! Atwood continues to amaze and inspire me with every piece of writing and I'm sure this one will be no exception. 🖤🖤🖤

The first of the year. A delicious light funny book by Margaret Atwood. I'm really impressed with her as a writer, she can write so many diferent styles and write them well. ❤📚 #sha20118 #clary #dogsoflitsy

Some Atwood #retrocoverfun for #riotgrams. These editions are from the 1970s, so not super retro, but the best that I can do!

For the #KostovaGiveaway, though if I were to actually get to meet her I'm sure I would be too terrified with awe to speak a single word. I wish I could answer a question with the confidence and clarity that Ms Atwood conveys in her interviews. I'm quite sure I sound like a chimpanzee on speed when I speak about anything I find interesting 🙉 @Liberty

"I planned my death carefully; unlike my life, which meandered along from one thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it." My favorite opening line of all time, from my favorite Atwood (facing some stiff competition, especially from Alias Grace.) #favoritequote #riotgrams #atwoodrules

Weekend read. I really like these Margaret Atwood covers. I have almost collected the entire series, now to get stuck into all the titles I haven't yet read.

Opening line:
"I planned my death carefully; unlike my life, which meandered along from on thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it."
