I'm so glad you're doing Handmaid's Tale! We need to order it though, because we don't have it in the library.
I wish, I wish, I wish I could take this class!
It sounds like it will be wonderful! I hope you all have a great time with it.
I think I'll read these books at the same time in an effort to convince myself I'm actually taking your class. Or maybe we could work out some sort of online class option where you post video feed on your blog every MWF. :)
I wish you could both be in the class!
O how I wish I could take the class too! Sadly, there will probably be few gentlemen in the class and they'll be missing out. Enjoy!
That's such a good idea, Heather. I think I'll steal that.
For the record, I vote YES for videos. We should make that happen. :)
