I am 48th on our local list. They are getting 6 copies so I figure I'll see it sometime in 2021. Sounds like this is one of the most highly anticipated books in a long time.

"Praise be! Atwood's 'The Testaments' is a satisfying sequel to 'The Handmaid's Tale
Blessed be the fruit of Margaret Atwood’s beautiful brain. The Testaments, the highly anticipated sequel to her 1985 dystopian masterpiece The Handmaid’s Tale, is satisfyingly full of answers; a gift. If you sense a certain calm in the world upon its release Tuesday, it will be the sound of Handmaid’s Nation becoming lost in 415 wonderful new pages."
