The Handmaid’s Tale: Last Update
I fell behind on reading The Handmaid's Tale so please excuse this late update with most of the book jumbled together. The actual full review will be up on Sunday as per usual. Chapters 14 to End Discussion I feel like Boshra Rasti definitely was inspired by Atwood's story. The parallels between the two are … Continue reading The Handmaid’s Tale: Last Update
Handmaid’s Tale Update 2
Chapters 8-13 Discussion Still feeling major 1984 vibes, but not as much as Chapters 1 through 7. I am no longer getting déjà vu of AHS either – but seriously, AHS writers should take notes.

Handmaid’s Tale Update 1

Going Back to the Classics
This week, instead of reading something new, I went back to the classics and read my old-time favorite, Pride and Prejudice. For weeks I have been tempted to pull my copy out again because of how frequently it was showing up on my Instagram feed - it seemed like everyone was either reading it again … Continue reading Going Back to the Classics
