Question of the week: How does a book that has not even been released get to score a spot on a literary prize longlist? The Booker, no less. The Testaments by Margaret Atwood is not due to release until September. Has the universe become THAT obsessed with The Handmaid's Tale that its sequel is lauded … Continue reading The Week That Was…

Only two posts since my last week that was. My reviews have slowed down this week, the combination of a busy week with reading one of the thicker novels from my review tbr. The Wonder of Lost Causes by Nick Trout. It's thick, but so far rather brilliant. Speaking of busy weeks, this one was … Continue reading The Week That Was…

Ladies in Black. If you missed my post raving about it, you can read it here. I loved this movie and almost want to watch it again this weekend but I'm determined to read the book before I re-watch. ~~~ This has to be the funniest thing I've seen online in ages: When you live … Continue reading The Week That Was…
