WINNER UPDATE: Congrats to Diana Castro & Heidi Klein who WON the copies of The Handmade's Tale! Thanks to everyone who participated! Stay tuned - I'll be doing more giveaways of my favorite books...(including soon my book when it's published)
____________________________________________
The guy and I recently started watching The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu. Terrifying. Fascinating. Makes me shiver. All of that. Love it. I watch and screech when something happens on the show that was similar to the program I was in (a Christian "reform your kid" cult/bootcamp), such as:
- The way communication was regulated, forbidden
- Being watched all the time
- The hunger people have for authority and little bits of power; the rank of human beings
- The turning of people against each other so they nark and become spies for the authorities
- The group punishments for one person's misdeed; putting the pain on all
- The struggle to hold onto your identity and remember your real life
- The realization that the phrase "hope dies last" is not true--you can lost hope and be forced to live in the torture of your reality
The show inspired me to finally buy and read the book by the woman who started it all, Margaret Atwood. I'm only a few chapters in, but I'm completely taken by it. So...I purchased some extra copies so you can enjoy it too!

Thanks for the chance to get this book. Sounds like a great read.
I am so into the TV show. I didn’t know that a book existed until a few weeks ago when my daughter told me about a book . I would love to own this book. I have rewatched a the episodes because I want to really understand what is happening and it really gets me thinking that things like this exist. I am trying to be more educated. I think the book would also have so much helpful information. What a very kind act to giveaway two copies. Thanks for the opportunity!
Love to read the book. Me and my neighbors get together every week with popcorn and drinks. Omg always leaves us thinking what’s next
Since the show began I’ve been hooked to it and I count down the days to I see the next episode! I can only imagine what the book Intel’s and all the good things to read! Winning this book would be amazing and a pleasure to read in my bed drinking… tea!
One of my favorite shows….
Thanks so much for the chance… Been wanting to read this so bad. ❤?❤?
