Margaret Atwood is certainly having an amazing year!
First, there's the success of the television version of her classic book The Handmaid's Tale.
Then, there was the Booker Prize for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale.
Now she's been awarded the Order of the Companions of Honour for her services to literature. The Canadian author recently flew to Great Britain to receive the honor from Queen Elizabeth.
Congratulations to one of our favorite authors.
in 2016, 87 new ABA member bookstores opened for business in 32 states and the District of Columbia. That is almost a 43 percent increase over the number of store openings in 2015.
