A few days after I finished my last book, White Fire, I put myself on the library waiting list for Margaret Atwood's sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments: I was number 16 on the list. Two weeks later I had risen to number 10. As of Monday, I was number four.
I wasn't sure how quickly I would rise through the list. At first, I focused on catching up on some magazines that had piled up. Then I decided to re-read The Handmaid's Tale--my fourth time. Now I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I'll pick up a book of essays (Virginia Woolf) or a collection of short stories (science fiction.) I just know that as soon as I get The Testaments, I want to concentrate on that.
