pickI can see how some might hate this while others love it- there is very little to anchor a reader. And while some of the pieces flew over my head, there are enough gems to keep the whole of it fun. Atwood‘s prose is too often delicious to be turned away. Special Place on Bookshelf.
Picked up some old-school Atwoods at the thrift store.
Some berries occur in sun,
but they are smaller.
It‘s as I always told you:
the best ones grow in shadow.

pickNot that I've ever read anything by M.A. that I didn't love, but my favorites in this collection were: Impenetrable Forest, Encouraging the Young, Bring Back Mom: An Invocation, and But It Could Still. This little book has earned itself a permanent place on my nightstand for future rereading. 🖤
My #Atwood collection, minus two volumes that are on loan to a friend. (The one on the right is an eBook, my only Atwood not on paper.) #AugustAuthors @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
I‘m not good at ranking because I like more conditions - top 6 that made me think, top 6 relaxing, etc. So ask me tomorrow and my answer might be different, but here are my #top6reads for 2020. Thanks for the tag @batsy

pickToo short to be short stories, there are 35 short fictions in these 155 pages. Favorites were “Three Novels I Won‘t Write Soon” “Winter‘s Tales” and “Chicken Little Goes Too Far,” but they all share Atwood‘s quick humor and elegant prose. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
