The Handmaid's Tale
5 journalers for this copy...
Chilling future predictions of how women can be used for nothing but their childbearing capabilities.
I read a bit of this book -- it's very compelling. I think I'm going to get back to it (maybe check out a copy from the library) after my kids both leave home and I retire so I can concentrate on it better.
Reserved for a Missouri bookcrosser.

While I was thumbing through this book to make sure all the pages were intact before I sent it off to replace a ray book, I noticed that at the very end there is a "history" section. It looked extraordinarily good!
Mailed to Missouri yesterday.

Journal Entry 5 by icekween01 at -- By Post Or By Hand - i.e. Ring, Trade, RABCK, Meet in St. Louis, Missouri USA on Saturday, March 25, 2006
Arrived today addressed to Dodau. Bet that confused the postman. I have a few in front of this but will read and send on in a week or so
This is the second of Margaret Atwoods books I have read and both times I've hated the ending. She draws out a long plot and just as it seems to be building up to a climax she ends the book and you never know what happens. I hate that because I wonder about it for days. She must have an idea of where her characters went next so why keep it to herself. But this was an enjoyable book up to that point.
I've pmed WillowSnow several times with no answer so I'm moving onto the next person on the list.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES:
Arrived this morning, much appreciated! Will start it as soon as I have finished with 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'.
This book has washed ashore at the Lost Book Island after not being heard from for many months. This new arrival will be shown to a room and be allowed a bit of rest before being introduced to the many fun things to do here at the island.
All around there are books sipping cool drinks under shady palms while other books participate in a wide variety of beach sports. There is plenty of sand, surf and sun here for all of the lost and wayward books to enjoy.
It is hoped that very soon a new journal entry will come to rescue this book from the island and send it back out into the BookCrossing world so that it may continue on its journey. It is hoped that the new journal entry will tell all the interested parties where this book has been this long time and where it will be traveling to next.

This ring has been rescued again by another kind bookcrossing soul. Hopefully this time it will make it to the end. The link to the new ring is: The Handmaid's Tale
