The Testaments

My neighbour got this for me (shes gifted me alot of books over the years that i never read) but i remember a while after our power went out for nearly a whole day and being that at the time i was fully nocturnal i spent my time playing solitare on my mums work laptop until that died, couldn't draw or paint because i felt it was too hard with candle light and so read it as i had nothing else to do. Id not yet (and still havent) read the handmaids tale so some of it didnt make sense to me for a fair bit of the book, but i think i felt intrigued by that. I ended up reading this in under a week and feeling very surprised in myself, having not read a book outside of school since probably year 7 or 8. The jumping narrative format definitely helped keep me engaged and pull me along in the book as a non reader and i remember enjoying it a fair bit because of this!
