How was Oryx and Crake? I have it but haven't yet read it.

I really liked it once I got into it - the main character (Snowman) is very interesting to say the least. I'll be reading the other two books in the trilogy this week and hopefully they are as good as Oryx and Crake.

Welcome to the group, Danielle! Good luck with your challenge. I hope you enjoy the other Margaret Atwood books as much as you liked the first one. She's on my list of authors I need to make sure to read this year!

Thank you! I have read The Handmaid's Tale and I absolutely LOVED that one, so I would strongly recommend it :)
