Ok... So I totally forgot about this. I don't know why because it has the best things about all my favourite bookish social media. Let's see if I can come back. And I do it with my current read! -->

marian.tarko #TheHandmaidsTail by #MargaretAtwood Don't need to say how awesome it is, do I? I'm half way through and all those post-its are quotes where I stopped to think "wait a minute... This right here is happening... Now.. yesterday... Today."
Of course the red and blue are not incidental :)

“...scratched with a pin or maybe just a fingernail, in the corner where the darkest shadow fell: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

I didn't know what it meant, or even what language it was in. (...) Still, it was a message, and it was in writing, forbidden by that very fact, and it hadn't yet been discovered. Except by me, for whom it was intended. It was intended for whoever came next.

You know your buddy read is failing when you're meant to only be on page 89....but you find yourself on 239. 🙈 I love this book so much I actually bought a Handmaid's Tale themed pin the other day. I don't even wear pins! But I couldn't resist. #nolitetebastardescarborundorum

TricksyTails That's not a fail! Most definitely a win! 😁 7y
laurieluna @TricksyTails meant to be reading it for another 2 weeks...I'll have it finished this weekend 🙈 it's such a short book compared to what I usually read that I've devoured it! 7y

I reread this to refresh my memory before watching the TV show. And whoa...it's a lot scarier reading it in this political climate than when I read it in high school. For those of you who watched the show already...did you like it? How faithful is it to the book? #thehandmaidstale #margaretatwood #dystopia #resist #nolitetebastardescarborundorum #getlit #audible #kvnreads17

BooksintheDelta There are some differences, and a clear hard lean on the topics that reflect current political discussions, but a well done and entertaining interpretation of the novel. 7y
missberlyreads @BooksintheDelta thanks! I'm wicked excited to binge this weekend! 7y

The ol' bait and switch. I know this book is not the Handmaids Tale, it's not even a dystopian fantasy, but I still kept expecting Offred to show up in some capacity.

That said, it was a very clever, and satisfying, retelling. Really liked how all the threads came together.

So, try not to be like me and binge the show. It's just too terrifyingly believable and you start expecting everything to be like it. 😉#nolitetebastardescarborundorum

Yes, I bought the TV tie-in version JUST for the new introduction from Atwood.
Worth it.
She's brilliant.

readordierachel Except for where it says "hulu original," this cover actually isn't bad. 8y
elkeOriginal @ReadOrDieRachel I agree! I kind of like it. And I never like movie/tv covers... 8y
Kalalalatja It is one of the prettier movie covers I have seen 👌 8y

elkeOriginal @Kalalalatja I think the way they designed the type on her face and how it changes her eye is somehow powerful. 👍from me. 8y
Aninski I was about to say the same thing, I actually like this one! @Kalalalatja maybe I'd change my answer for #4 of your Would You Rather if all tie-in covers were this nice! 😜 8y
Kalalalatja @Aninski if only 😂 8y

I CANNOT BELIEVE I WAITED SO LONG BEFORE READING THIS. This has easily become one of my favorite books and the show has been fantastic so far too. I don't even know what more I can say that hasn't already been said.... SO GOOD. SO IMPORTANT. #nolitetebastardescarborundorum

lauren.lerner Oooh I didn't know there was going to be a screening in D.C.! I'm considering getting Hulu just to watch the show. It's one of my favorite books. 8y
BookishFeminist @lauren.lerner Yes! At the Natural history museum I think. Get Hulu! It's free for the first month and you can always cancel after you've watched it 8y
HippieChickHomeschool Mines still in the mail! I'm waiting to see what everyone thinks of the series before I watch. I'm afraid of being disappointed. Please tell us all what you think after the screening. 😊 8y
Bibliogeekery OMG!!! This is the BEST!!! 😍😍😍 8y
