3.75⭐️ Review to come later

To start tomorrow. Not sure how I will go as books in war are not really my thing, but still trying to read my way around the world.

Perceptive, relatable observations that feel like simple,contemporary, slice-of -life moments, shot through with increasingly abstract and experimental expansions on previously introduced themes: 1/?

Unique theme of vivid similes happening...🍑🍆💦🫢👀

⭐⭐⭐

Here's an example of a book that gets lots of hype and seems to be very much at the top of the recommendation lists, but was just meh for me. I found the parallels between Atwood's distopian future and our current times rather terrifying in many ways; however, as far as the storyline goes I guess I was expecting more. Not sure what that would be exactly, just that as a whole it fell a little flat. Still glad I read it though. #audiobook

Another quick read from the library. So far I‘m quite liking it.

Told in non chronological order this is a story of a indigenous woman adopted at birth by white parents. Each chapter focuses on part of her story from someone else‘s perspective meaning it‘s at times a bit disjointed. Despite that I really enjoyed and found her story heartbreaking

This was my #Canada #FoodAndLit read from November, and my November #DoubleSpin

It follows two Cree, an aunt and her nephew who goes to war with his friend.
It was such a good read but hard going! I enjoyed it though :)

Who doesn't love a Venn diagram?

“I'll tell you what I'm going to do when I'm sixteen, Theodora. I'm going to pay off the mortgage, and buy mother a silk dress, and a piano for the twins. Won't that be elegant? I'll be able to do that 'cause I'm a man. Of course if I was only a girl I couldn't.“

🙄 I definitely rolled my eyes at this. And then the story went on to show just how much a 16-year-old girl can do!! #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
