Wilderness Tips by Margaret Atwood - Good
Always difficult to review short stories, they can vary so much, also I know not everyone enjoys the format. However, there is a difference when the author is Margaret Atwood. She has a tight grasp of the format and rarely disappoints. I think only one of this collection left me feeling.....hmm.....incomplete.
I'm not sure what she had in mind but for me, these stories are all linked by love, loss, infidelity and revenge - looking back on life. A little dated as they were first published in 1991 but that lends them a period feel and charm. (Oh, I hate that I actually think that!)
If you like short stories and/or Margaret Atwood then you'll enjoy them. If not, don't bother.

The book arrived. Thank you, Cassandra!
Cassandra put it in a nutshell: "these stories are all linked by love, loss, infidelity and revenge - looking back on life". In addition, it's about women, as she is Margaret Atwood. The women in the stories are the interesting ones while the men mostly just... exist.
Atwood has been paying close attention to the human soul. To give just one example of her skillful knowledge: in the story Death by Landscape there is a brief discussion of Cappie and Lois, and a few second's glimpse of suspicion, and "for the rest of her life, [Lois] has caught people watching her in this way".
Thanks again for sharing, Cassandra!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Back to the UK.
I read and thoroughly enjoyed this short story collection last night as I stayed in what is described as a "rustic cabin" .
I am staying there for the next ten days because I had no housesit bookings, which is how I live usually. I needed somewhere within driveable distance to work, unfortunately the amazing World of Wearable Art show is on this week in Wellington and all accommodation within a 100kms that is decent has been booked out for months.
I really related to the title story - as I scrambled up a goat track to get to the long drop dunny and scooped the requisite saw dust over my business. The shower is a real treat, waist high and on a very small caliphont - so the choices are pressure and cold or hot and a trickle . Oh well as my friend said this morning will make the backpackers on Stewart Island appear 5 star. Twelve bookcrossers are heading to Stewart Island for the annual New Zealand Australian Unconvention mid October, I doubt an Uncon will ever be held in a more remote place.

Journal Entry 22 by Cfreckle at Sheffield, South Yorkshire United Kingdom on Thursday, November 23, 2017
I've never read anything by Margaret Atwood before but there was something about her style of writing that really appealed to me. I loved that her female characters were happily independent, strong willed, and lived life as they wanted to. Thankfully I had been warned before the book arrived not to expect dystopia - I do love dystopia - and of course, now I realise how much I love her writing style, I can't wait to read 'The Handmaids Tale'!

I wish this book would just go on and on... It's mesmerizing, enchanting, beautifully written. Each short story has a deep meaning, that resonates in my own heart and leaves an imprint meant to last.
This is my first encounter with Atwood's works, and I am totally in love with her style of writing! It is interesting, well thought through. She adds tiny details that have important meaning.

Just received it.
Can't wait to start it, even if short stories isn't how I usually like Atwood the most. Exception made to Stone Mattress...
Thank you so much, Cfreckle, Mankyi and back to Cassandra2020 ;)
This one ranks second, right there after Stone Mattress, in my personal list of Atwood's short stories books.I really enjoyed reading this collection, fealing it as such and not only as a set of stories put together for the print. They make sense together in some way, even if I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but I could risk... disapointment? Maybe.
Anyway, The ones I liked the most were Hairball, Death by Landscape and Weight, even if I liked lots of little things in all of them.
Once again, thank you all so much for the opportunity to read one more Atwood, which is allways such a pleasure.
This one is going off to Freuju as soon as I get an address.
Reached me today, thank you! :)
I am not generally a fan of short stories, but I enjoyed this book a lot! At the end of every story, I wanted to know how it would continue... Brilliantly written and absolutely worthwhile!
Alexiapapa asked to be left out on this one, so the book is now on its way to Canada.

Arrived here safely today. Thank you, Mcsar :-)
Thank you for including me in this bookring, and special gratitude to you previous readers who shared your reactions. Seeing what different perspectives people bring to a book is, for me, the best part of BookCrossing.
I love Margaret Atwood more and more with everything I read of hers. IMHO she's better at novels than short stories, but on the other hand, the short form lets little slivers of insight shine through more brightly - as in the perfect example ruzena gave us.
My favourite stories were 'The Age of Lead' and 'Weight.' In 'The Age of Lead' especially, Atwood astounds me by how many different allusions to weight, gravity, and falling she can bring into a 15-page story. In my mind's eye, I like to imagine her on a fine spring morning, heading into her Word Orchard, picking up here a dewy cluster of synonyms, there a perfectly ripened metaphor... All with that impish smile, of course!
Reading 'Death by Landscape' made me think of 'Picnic at Hanging Rock,' which also features a girl's mysterious disappearance on a field trip. Probably we'll never know, but I can't help wondering if Atwood had that book in the back of her head as she was writing the story.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Mailed to Femke85 for Cfreckle's bookring
Arrived in Sweden after a loooooooong journey with the post! Thanks for sharing this book
It’s the first time I read a book with short series, so it’s hard to compare it to anything else I’ve read. At first I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t really get dragged into the stories, because they are only 20 pages and it took me a while to realise I always need to stop and start reading at then end/beginning of a story, rather than just putting the book down at a random page.
Luckily Margaret Atwood writes in a way that can fascinate you from the first sentence. Almost every story got me hooked. I think my least favorite one was Wilderness Tips, which oddly is the one she chose for the book cover. I really enjoyed the one about the camp girls, because it leaves a lot of mystery around what happened. It kind of left me feeling the story was incomplete, but on the other hand, the incompleteness also makes it a greater mystery and gives an extra dimension to the story.
Atwood has an interesting way of observing and describing human behaviour and relationships, which I think it sort of the common topic of all these stories. She also adds a lot of depth to the female characters in most stories, while a lot of the men are more like flat characters in the background. I think this gave an interesting dynamic to the stories.
I’m also on the “Handmade’s tale” bookray list and even though I have seen the first season of the tv-series, I’m now very curious to read the original Atwood story.
This book is part of a bookray and it will continue its journey today, since I already got the next person’s address!

Sending this book off to the next person on the bookray list (JosefinJ).I’m trying to reduce waste, so I recycled one of my 2-year-old’s paintings to make an enveloppe :) Hope this works and it protects the book well enough from postal damages.
Got it by mail today. Will begin to read it asap.
On its way to Latvia!
Thank you for small presents and this book.
Book was very interesting. My favorite stories are "Hairball" and "Uncles".
Now it's time to sent book to the next reader. Hope you will enjoy reading it.

And here it is, what a well-read book!
Thank you so much for sharing, Cfreckle, and for sending it my way, LilyKlip...
I will try not to take too long... short stories are definitely my thing, and I love Ms Atwood's writing!

Currently reading it. :)
I have mixed feelings about this book.
I have liked some short stories better than others, in my opinion they are all more character-driven than plot-driven, and this is what I find lacking.
Anyway, Ms Atwood has a real way with words, and some of her remarks really ring a bell with me, such as:
"You counted your way through each week by panty, fresh on each day, then dirtied and thrown into the bin, Marcia's mother used to tell her that she should always wear clean panties in case a bus ran over her, because other people might see them as her corpse was being toted off to the morgue. It wasn't Marcia's potential death that loomed uppermost in her mind, it was the state of her panties." (Hack Wednesday)
"Death by Landscape" and "Weight" were very good, more to my taste.
Thanks for sharing this well-read book with us, Cfreckle, and sorry for taking so long.
I have PMed lilith89 twice, unsuccessfully; I will try Sugaryfun next, and set this book moving as soon as possible.

Sorry for the delay, and enjoy!! :)
The book arrived this morning- perfect timing since I've just finished writing an assignment and finally have time to read for fun again. Thankyou to the Bookworm-lady for sending it to me.
Sorry I've had this one for so long. Things got a little crazy over the holidays, and we had a fire a bit close to home here which made life interesting (though we were very lucky when a lot of other people were not).
Anyway... Margaret Atwood's good at what she does, there is no doubt about it. Unfortunately I think I'm just not that into literary fiction. I love genre fiction so much more, especially fantasy, sci fi and mystery novels. It was probably good for me to get out of my comfort zone, but this book was not really my cup of tea.
I have PM'd Bookgirrl for her address.

On its way to Canada. My apologies once more for keeping it for so long.
"Wilderness Tips" has arrived back in Ms. Atwood's nation! I will get it started this week. When I was a little kid, I had a really good pal named Martha. She lived next door to the Atwoods, but being a little kid I had no idea the family next to Martha had a daughter who was a rising literary star. (Atwood also went to my high school, but several years before I got there.) I did see Ms. Atwood one day waiting at a bus stop (she doesn't drive). Just a regular person/literary superstar, riding the bus.
PS: Sugaryfun, thanks for the extra goodies in the package!
7.5 (not quite an 8 for me). I enjoyed parts of each story, but not all of any story! So much revenge and creepiness and tension. I can just picture Ms. Atwood smirking as she wrote some of the text. A very bright woman, but such weird stories. Going way back, I found the "Edible Woman" hilarious, "Surfacing" a tough slog (high school) and "Alias Grace" very good. On to missprisy...
Whoops, this book came back with "undeliverable" on the envelope. 'Says no such street. I will PM missprisey and double-check the address.
I mailed the book to Missprisy but it came back "no such address/return to sender". Oddly, the address I wrote on the envelope matches exactly what she gave me. I have PM'd her three times, but have not heard back to see if there's an alternate address I can use. I will try a PM one more time, but if I don't hear back from Missprisy, I will send it on to Judygreeneyes.
OK, 2nd attempt to send the book to MissPrisy. I hope it will get there this time. We were scratching our heads as to why it came back to Canada with "No Such Address/Return to Sender".....fingers crossed!
Book FINALLY arrived! Thank you so much for trying so hard to get it to me Bookgirrl!

Yikes, I totally neglected to journal this book when it arrived here in San Diego. Sorry everyone!! It is safe here with me and I'll read it next.
I have finished this lovely book of short stories and have contacted the next person on the list.
I tried to reach Aisling78 several times but was unsuccessful, so this book is headed to valpete here in California. Enjoy!Bookcrossing is the practice of leaving a book in a public place for someone else to "catch". Why? Cuz books just wanna have fun! Enjoy the serendipity and head over to the bookcrossing.com website to let me know you caught this book!
Bookcrossing is family-friendly and a great hobby 😀
Wow! This book has been on quite a jourmey!
Sending it to Maria-Nunes, as the next person on the list did not respond to my PM. Sorry I've had it so long. Enjoyed reading these short stories by a masterful author.
