This is the story of my life today. And at the moment, I am out of any to give.

GingerAntics @TrishB actually, this is tying wonderfully with therapy. lol Today was definitely one of those days, though. 11h
vlwelser Why is this quote not on all of the things? Swearing is ok if it's Atwood, right? 11h

Finished this one up on the way to visit my ma today and this series just keeps going downhill for me. I'm going to try the prequel novels but this one just didn't do it for me much.

Started Prophet Song this morning. Will finish Buried in a Bog tomorrow on my drive to Portland and back. I‘m 40% into Thorns and will likely bail and move onto Swans.

This book is powerful, scary, devastating but also compassionate and tender. So deserving of its Booker Prize winning status. The reviews were right, I doubt I will ever not be able to recall the details of this book no matter how long has passed.
Comparisons to handmaids tale and 1984 cannot be denied but this book is a masterpiece in its own right and deserves its own status as a literary classic.

Where to start ! - this book is grotesque, brutal , hideous but utterly compelling - I could not put it down ! A virus wipes out the animal population leading to an industry of cannibalism - and just when you think there is a flicker of goodness emerging ….
It‘s an Argentinian translation - short and very disturbing - not for the faint hearted - I think it will stay with me for a long time .

Cathythoughts Great review. I still remember it and that ending. Great book. As you say , not for the faint hearted 👍🏻❤️ 5d
emmasm08 @Cathythoughts so glad you‘ve read it Cathy if I need some post read counselling I‘ll come to you 😂- the end 🙈I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget it ! Xxx 5d

Okay, I'm not going to say that reading in this hammock swing is the MOST comfortable thing but I also won't say that it's not either. Been dealing with a lot and it's nice to have this comfy spot to tuck up and read

RedxoHearts I love reading in my hammock. I recently had to get a new one and went with a hammock chair instead. It's even more comfortable I think 5d
AmyG If I read in a hammock I‘d be asleep before I finished page 1. Hope life gets a bit easier for you. (edited) 5d
jessinikkip @AmyG I did pretty good at staying awake until I got the pillow behind my head. Then I was sound asleep for a bit 😂 5d
jessinikkip @RedxoHearts oooh that sounds comfy! 5d

Out for a drive and all roads lead to book stores. 😊

Discovered a cute & well curated shop in Menomonie, WI, Dragon Tale Books. Had a super chat with the owner.

The tagged book is for me, husband got the other two, but I can guarantee I‘ll be the one rereading Wind-up Bird Chronicles.

Ruthiella Nice moderate haul! 😃 5d
Tamra @Ruthiella I did seriously rein myself in! 😅 5d
Cathythoughts Nice haul. ❤️ The Prophet is good. The others look good too. (edited) 5d
sarahbarnes I really liked Prophet Song. And loved Wind Up Bird, too - one of my favorites by him. 5d

Well, the cozy Christmas book wasn't working for me, so I went in a...different direction. It's definitely weird. But at 200 pages, I think I can get through this one and hopefully get my mojo back.

Ruthiella This book is about as far from a cozy Christmas book as you can get! 🤢 6d

Part 1 of my books from April 💜

Has anyone read any of them?

InkedBookworm13 I've wanted to read Enclave for awhile. Did you like it? 1w
RedxoHearts @InkedBookworm13 I originally read it years ago and loved it but never finished the series. Rereading the first book I still really enjoyed it. The whole series was good 1w
