pick5🌟/5🌟
Parts of this book hurt my heart. Parts of this book made me so very angry. What I do know is that Ma-Nee is a very strong, resilient person that I have a lot of respect for. Even though this book is full of trigger warnings, I believe it's a very important read that all of us can learn from.
pickThis is a clever look at Indigenous Turtle Island history told through the lens of Native American and First Nations stand up comedians. It‘s partially a biography of comedians/Indigenous showmen going all the way back to those forced to work traveling Wild West shows in the 1800s to modern day stand up artists, and partially a history of the atrocities committed by the US and Canada (but mostly the US).
Sunday theatre with Daisy-May, who‘s decided she‘s tired of being upright and would like to sprawl on her awful couch for a few hours, thanks.
(The STORIES I could tell you about this couch! It‘s an atrocity. Those leather couches people leave by the curb as freebies and nobody ever actually picks up because they‘re AWFUL are nicer than this late Victorian piece to which my aunt is hopelessly attached.)
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickThis presents a reimagining of historically marginalized experiences by bringing magic into the mix. Similarly to LGBTQIA+ gatherings being broken up by policing forces, the magic users in this book run secret broom races, hidden from the persecuting eye of the law. I greatly enjoyed this book and even more so after reading the end notes. Incredibly inclusive. I happy cried a little. #LGBTQIA #Magic #Indigenous #BlackExperiences #DisabilitiesRep
This week‘s little library haul features another play by Tomson Highway (love his stuff), a couple volumes of poetry, and a crime comic.
Thank you @Cupcake12 for creating #WhereAreYouMonday.
I am on the Island of Masquapaug in a reimagined world based on a what-if history 🌍🥚🌎🐉🌏.
Love it when fantasy books include maps 🆒🗺️🤩💝.
pickI really enjoyed this and I'm sad the next installment isn't out yet. Very girl goes to magic school with dragons but done in an interesting way. Excellent take on fighting colonialism.
