Sometimes I just want to look at soothing pictures without being told I need to spend money or should feel bad about myself.

My copy of The Testaments came a week early, so last night I picked it up to read a few pages and by 11:15 had finished. I don’t want to put in any spoilers, so I’ll say it’s worth reading: a story about the hope and terror of trying when it seems useless, a story for 2019.

Also, avoid the reviews, which are filled with spoilers on the characters. You would likely figure these details out as you read, but there’s joy in the finding.
