It’s no secret – we love Margaret Atwood books.

A few years ago, Chloe found out that I had never read The Handmaid’s Tale, the most famous book by Margaret Atwood. She gave me a stern look and a very firm deadline to read the acclaimed novel within a week. I’ve never looked back, and Margaret Atwood books will now hold a permanent spot on my shelves.

Margaret Atwood has a new book out this week, and to celebrate we’ve pulled together a book list of what to read if you love Margaret Atwood books and want to discover other authors like Margaret Atwood.
