pick5⭐ A sequel to The Marrow Thieves. I don't know if there will be more in the series because the author didn't plan it that way but wrote more when requested by her publisher. But I will read. Dystopian, Indigenous Peoples, young adult.

Littens, when I tell you I‘ve been on autopilot—I did not realize this was the sequel. I mean I knew it, but then stuff. I read it like it was the first. And it holds! But this is the danger of reading for work rather than pleasure. I‘m no factory reader.
My #BookSpin #DoubleSpin and #BookSpinBingo for May. Of course, I made my list before the Women's Prize Shortlist was announced and ALL the holds came in and I went out for #IndependentBookstoreDay, so I think I'll be making use of the free and library spots the most 🤣🤣. Hopefully I'll at least get to the tagged as well 🤷♀️

pickOne of the best sequels I have ever read. (The Marrow Thieves is the first of the series)
Love, family, survival, culture, history, and heartbreak, and hope all come together in this story set in the future with the past history of residential schools and Indian boarding schools as the backdrop. Possibly the best book I read this year and one of the best sequels I have ever read.
AND, that acknowledgment, wow.
pickTeen readers clamoured for a sequel & here it is, in the dystopian future as full of danger for Indigenous people as it was in The Marrow Thieves. Frenchie is stolen by Recruiters & must use his wits to survive incarceration & dehumanizing tactics. Meanwhile, his chosen family face such horrors as a vampire cult & evil-white-ladies vigilantes. Two excellent narrators read the #audiobook: Michelle St John & Meegwun Fairbrother. #YA
We ran, but not away. We were—we are—running toward. Because running only works when you are running towards something. We are running toward community, toward safety, toward a future centred around what we know and understand to be the good life.
