Oryx and Crake | Margaret Atwood
post image
Pickpick

Finished this on Sunday, having started it back in June 2016 as part of #bustlereads. My first Margaret Atwood, probably not my last, but it's taken me so long to get through because the state of the world (brexit referendum, refugee crisis, trump election) meant I kept having to stop reading and get some escapism. And finishing it? Too close for comfort, I feel like we're almost in an Atwood-written world. Great writing though.

#BookMail Ordered this last week.

It's my #ReadHarder biography and my #BustleReads non-western history and, of course, #NonfictionNovember.

I do have some reservations, but I'm optimistic.

WhatDeeReads @TheBookbabeblog84 I inherited an interest in ancient Egypt from my parents. I'm super excited this book exists. I just hope it's respectful and doesn't white wash the story. 8y

All the books I still have to read for #ReadHarder and #BustleReads challenges. Oh boy. I may have bitten off more than I can chew here.
