The Testaments


OK a book doesn't belong on the window sill but it was a way of combining this week's book with a view of the flowering cherry outside the window.

A book I have read recently
Having read the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood very recently even though it was written 30+ years ago, it was a surprise to find a sequel has just been released with much fanfare.

It was a good read but for me lacked the power of the original. It left me wondering whether I really needed it.  I liked the inconclusive ending of the first book and I am not sure I was ready for the redemption of the terrifying Aunt Lydia in this one.

    1. I wouldn't bother with the book unless you have been following the series.

    1. Since is was a long time ago when you first read it I doubt you would get much from the sequel.

  3. I don´t know the books, but I think a book belongs to where it looks good :-)
    I have some favs "on display", too. A shame what kindle does - and yes, I use kindle, too. So practical when you´re outside. Shame on me, kinda...

    1. I read books on my iphone when I don't want the extra weight of a book in my handbag.

  4. I haven't read the book and didn't watch the show on TV but it seems to be very popular. Love the blossoms at this time of year.

    1. It was a popular TV series - but freaked me out - I found reading the stories more to my taste. Spring is the best.

    1. The birds are so delicate I always worry about breaking their tails when I dust them.

    1. Looks like those birdies are at hit with everyone, not just me.
