A young lesbian is cast out of her home when she is outed at college. Throughout this book we see this charismatic woman figure out how to make it on her own as she navigates financial and interpersonal challenges. I wouldn't say I enjoy classic literature, but ever now and then I do strive to read it. #LGBTQIA #ClassicLit

Kenyazero Used for #LGBTQIA2025 a sapphic book; and this was one of my recent #Roll100 picks @puddlejumper 1d

Where Wolves Don't Die | Anton Treuer

Ezra Cloud is an Ojibwe high school student who splits his time between Northeast Minneapolis where his father works as a college professor and Red Gut in Canada where his grandparents live a traditional life of hunting and trapping. After an incident with another student at school and a fire at the student‘s house, his family decides he will move spend the winter with his grandparents. ⬇️

Daisey Once there, he learns more about his heritage from his grandfather.

TW: If you have any issues with hunting or animal violence, avoid this book. It clearly describes trapping and hunting, as well as an animal attack.

I read and reread this book so often that the cover disintegrated into pieces. LOVED it. 🥰
Also adored “A Wrinkle in Time” (the entire series) and “The Phantom Tollbooth.”

Aims42 The tagged book for sure! And there was a “Dear America” book about Pearl Harbor that I know was my origin story to loving historical fiction 🥰 2d

Amiable @Aims42 Those books came out in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, if I recall correctly. I was too old for them by then. I remember my younger siblings reading them, though. 2d
Aims42 @Amiable You are exactly correct; I was in late elementary/early middle school and I couldn‘t get my hands on them fast enough 😂 They were my first lesson in the art of savoring a read instead of devouring it lol (I‘m still learning that art form though 🤣) 2d
dabbe I loved this book so much that I wrote a blackout poem as an ode to it! 💚🌳💚 2d
BookmarkTavern My mom loves this one too! Thanks for answering! 2d

Not many buildings can rival the bright lights and vibrant colors of the Strip at night, but the big top of Treatro della Notte certainly holds its own.
The black-and-gold-striped building is blanketed by an explosion of twinkling white lights.

Last night‘s scores from the book swap after my extra exam ballet lesson. It was nice to walk home after in the warm evening air with the full moon rising. Summer is on its way to save me! I also scored the stool from next to the bins downstairs. Yay for a new pot stand!

4⭐️ Really enjoyed this book and I am kinda glad I read it after all the hype had died down to read it. Looking forward to the next book in the series. #2025 #fiction #historicalfiction #literary #friendship #comingofage

ChaoticMissAdventures Yes! So much hype. I read it a few years ago and gave it a so-so but I wonder if I would like it better now 1w

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Still one haiku behind (Friday‘s) but today‘s is inspired by doing a few hours of work today on the Labor Day holiday, but at least changing the scene by working out of my local coffee shop where I can be fed & caffeinated while I do it.

Laboring

It is Labor Day
And so I labor, low key,
Coffee close at hand
