I bought the audiobook of Alias Grace, narrated by Shelley Thompson. So count me in!

That's good. I hope you enjoy it. I'm about halfway through a paperback borrowed from my library.

I've read this before and did not like. I will participate tangentially, as I don't want to just contribute negatively. Alas, I just do not like Margaret Atwood.

I haven't started yet. The only Atwood I've read is The Handmaid's Tale. What appealed to me about Alias Grace is the concept. I like novels about murder with female protagonists.

I'm well into it and really enjoying it. It sounds as if there should be the usual lively discussion!

I just borrowed it from the library. However, I'm way behind. I started reading The House on the Strand today. Better late than never, I suppose. Hopefully I can catch up and be ready for the conversation on Alias Grace.

There are times when we need special reading skates! I hope you enjoy both books.
