When I listened to it this year I was really troubled by how relevant it was and how so many recent events didn't make it seem so far fetched! I also started the series but didn't continue for no apparent reason. Hoping you had a nice weekend in NJ and that your Monday if off to a good start!

With our political climate? NO WAY! Not just to that but to the series, too. I will most likely read the sequel when it comes out next September but I definitely feel apprehensive about it. (It probably won't be available to put on hold at the library for a while, they will need more info from the publisher before they can create catalog records.)Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-66474488052179940792018-11-30T19:35:23.352-05:002018-11-30T19:35:23.352-05:00Fisher's tear prints really struck me.

I missed the first movie; I will have to look that up. I really enjoyed the Hulu series. I am curious why so many didn't like it. My husband watched one episode and commented that it was a bit far-fetched whereupon I told him about all the places in the world where women are currently treated that way. He said he had not thought about that. Yes, I supposed men never have to think about that, but women do. Can you tell I am a rabid feminist? ;)<br />I find the tear photography fascinating as an idea and in execution. I am going to put that on the thought train. I'm sure there are some epiphanies in there. <br />The llama looks surprised and a bit offended. I would have laughed, too! Great picture! That bloom is stunning! Drive carefully back to NJ, and no yakking while driving. becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-33618299277168931662018-11-30T15:38:13.929-05:002018-11-30T15:38:13.929-05:00The llama is hilarious!

I can almost hear him letting out a little shriek of surprise.<br /><br />I have very similar feelings about The Handmaid's Tale (and the series made it so much scarier, with its very modern setting), but I will be counting the days until the new book comes out. I just hope it gives a sense of closure to the story; as horrifying as the book was, what irked me the most is that the ending is so vague.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-80740784532714288232018-11-30T15:02:56.977-05:002018-11-30T15:02:56.977-05:00The tear images are fascinating.

Since our house stays cool they probably won't flower till January. <br />I have always liked the Handmaid's tale, written and the old movie was good but the new Hulu one sort of put me off. Even though, I try to read any and all of Atwood's novels. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-81544282606269114992018-11-30T12:49:32.937-05:002018-11-30T12:49:32.937-05:00llama!!

I saw the first movie (1990). When the new iteration came out on Hulu I just couldn't watch. I'm not sure I can get through Testament, either. I AM CHICKEN! <br />Love the llama and the Fishers art of her tears. I want to draw a comparison between loss and love, but can't find the words. margenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203284423648703855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-77052963073799770002018-11-30T09:17:20.791-05:002018-11-30T09:17:20.791-05:00How did that publishing announcement slip by me?!?...How did that publishing announcement slip by me?!??
