I can't wait to get to Shrill. I notice I can get it now on audio - one week after I bought the book!

I really enjoyed The Forgotten Garden and have just started The Lake House and am enjoying that as well. I've got Seinfeldia on my TBR and now I need to add The Massey Murder.

I'm next for Seinfeldia on audio! and finally started The Forgotten Garden. It's a book club book and I have about 10 days to get it read. We've all agreed to pay the overdue fine on the book so we can have enough time to finish it. I know once I get going it will move quickly.

I have been so disappointed in the books Margaret Atwood has written since...the last decade or so. I LOVED The Robber Bride, Cat's Eye, Surfacing. But, I have no patience with her sci-fi stuff "of late". Bless you for having the inclination to pick it up.

Bellezza - Margaret is hit or miss with me. I liked the Handmaid's Tale, and loved Alias Grace (have you read that one?) Hated The Blind Assassin. I did enjoy The Year of the Flood but it certainly bordered on weird. I don't always get her message. Every now and then I must do my Canadian duty and try an Atwood. If I can get them on audiobook, it's even better. I think the last few of hers I've read have been audio.
