Ok... So I totally forgot about this. I don't know why because it has the best things about all my favourite bookish social media. Let's see if I can come back. And I do it with my current read! -->

“...scratched with a pin or maybe just a fingernail, in the corner where the darkest shadow fell: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
I didn't know what it meant, or even what language it was in. (...) Still, it was a message, and it was in writing, forbidden by that very fact, and it hadn't yet been discovered. Except by me, for whom it was intended. It was intended for whoever came next.

You know your buddy read is failing when you're meant to only be on page 89....but you find yourself on 239. 🙈 I love this book so much I actually bought a Handmaid's Tale themed pin the other day. I don't even wear pins! But I couldn't resist. #nolitetebastardescarborundorum
pickI reread this to refresh my memory before watching the TV show. And whoa...it's a lot scarier reading it in this political climate than when I read it in high school. For those of you who watched the show already...did you like it? How faithful is it to the book? #thehandmaidstale #margaretatwood #dystopia #resist #nolitetebastardescarborundorum #getlit #audible #kvnreads17
pickThe ol' bait and switch. I know this book is not the Handmaids Tale, it's not even a dystopian fantasy, but I still kept expecting Offred to show up in some capacity.
That said, it was a very clever, and satisfying, retelling. Really liked how all the threads came together.
So, try not to be like me and binge the show. It's just too terrifyingly believable and you start expecting everything to be like it. 😉#nolitetebastardescarborundorum
When you discover that your coworker is a feminist badass, you obviously get tattoos together! Thanks @DimeryRene for letting me borrow all your awesome books! #nolitetebastardescarborundorum #resistance #noncompliant
Yes, I bought the TV tie-in version JUST for the new introduction from Atwood.
Worth it.
She's brilliant.

pickI CANNOT BELIEVE I WAITED SO LONG BEFORE READING THIS. This has easily become one of my favorite books and the show has been fantastic so far too. I don't even know what more I can say that hasn't already been said.... SO GOOD. SO IMPORTANT. #nolitetebastardescarborundorum
Not #bookmail but bookish! I'm in love with my new Handmaid's Tale shirt that came in the mail today from @bookriot! Going to wear it to the premiere screening at the Smithsonian next week. 🎉🎉
