If you’re watching the show, we’re sure you’re already hooked.

We’re four episodes in to The Handmaid’s Tale and we cannot get enough.

While we may be watching it through our fingers, it is seriously good stuff and it’s all based on the 1985 novel writen by Margaret Atwood.

The source material won all sorts of awards back in the day and rightly so.

And now, it’s seeing a new wave of popularity thank to the hugely successful Hulu series.

Well, one woman who’s been a fan of the book for years is none other than Emma Watson.

And the actress now wants to share the gem with other book-lovers and is hiding copies of the book around the city of Paris.

The actress took to Twitter this morning to share the news, saying:

“I’m hiding copies of The Handmaid’s Tale in Paris!”

The post received over 20,000 likes and huge praise for the actress who has been hiding literary gems in public places for weeks now.

The people of Paris have been on a scavenger hunt since the post in an effort to find the hidden books and have been sharing their successes and failures online.
