It took me all day to track this one down today. I couldn't remember the name of the book or the author, only the timeframe that I read it (long long time ago!) and that I really loved it. I'm going to track down a copy for a re-read someday. #junebookbugs #indigenousauthors @RealLifeReading
It's a long time since I read this novel as part of my American history GCSE but it came instantly to mind when I thought of #indigenousauthors #junebookbugs
Today's Google Doodle honors James Welch. I know there are a lot of Littens interested in reading more broadly, and in poetry, so maybe Welch will be a choice for you. I'm going to add him to my list. There's an interesting article from Smithsonian.com that explains why the Doodle was drawn the way it was.

so-soObjectively, this is a good book. Personally, I felt it went on a little too long and when you're reading for class, that's never a fun feeling. It's also not a happy book, which is fine, but not what I want to read right now. The cultural immersion is really good, though.
