My TBR pile is just too overwhelming :(

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now....

I received this books from First Sentence VBB 11, thanks phoenixfj!

Extremely excellent, addicting, disturbing, current, dystopical, religious, horrific, brilliant, I-wish-I'd-read-it-sooner kind of book! It's going to my all-time favourites, loved it!

And now I can finally watch the HBO's series since I've read the book.

The book is looking for a new reader at the Bookcrossing pre-Xmas party.

I took this book so we'll see what I like about it. Gonna read this as well.

Ooooops! Now I realized I have two books of Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale. So I think I will manage with one of them. So I won't keep this one :)

I think I won't actually need two books of Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale. Only one is enough. This one is ready to go forward :) Bon voyage, book :)

Picked it up from the bookcrossing shelf at Sastamala's book museum during our day trip visiting the old houses in the area. (Awesome place btw, soooo worth visiting <3) Let's hope the beginning of the new term doesn't mean that I have zero free time to enjoy it. :)
