pickRead this book. Jade stays with you after the last unique page. Slasher flicks as metaphor for alienation, racism against native communities, family violence… in a dark and sometimes darkly comic tale. The bold, vivid, sad, unexpected ending blew me away. Perhaps my favorite book of 2022? #unique #horror #comingofage #indigenousvoices
pickI just noticed I never posted my review of this one. This is between a pick and a so-so for me. I‘m actually a little torn, but I‘m giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Honestly, I was a little confused by this book. It‘s about running, but its not. In the end, even the run itself is abandoned and doesn‘t really play a role in the ending of the book. I still really enjoyed it.

I‘ve been falling back in love with running again lately (it‘s the thing I most look forward to every weekend), so I decided to listen to something about running on my rides to and from work. Loving this one so far.

@TheBookHippie along with my knitting needles and new water bottle (I‘ve had the worst luck with them so far this year), this arrived today!!!

pickThis is a great collection of indigenous tribes from all across the modern United States. These poems deal with everything from creation stories to everyday life and Indian boarding schools. The inclusion of people‘s from modern day Alaska and Hawaii was really cool. I also liked that they included LGBTQIA voices from within their communities. There was even one poem dedicated to “Native American two-spirit-identified” (non binary) people.
I‘m so excited to read this one. I‘ll be the first to admit that I was fortunate to at least get SOME of the indigenous story during my education (including a terrifying unit on the boarding schools), but there is still so much more to learn. Holding this book in my hands, I can guarantee that it‘s going to be a much better experience as a physical book, though I do also own the ebook.

This is a far more accurate version of this song. We should teach children this version, sit proudly where they sing these truths, and just maybe things will get a little better.

I didn‘t notice before that this is a Norton Anthology. This bad boy is going to keep me in poetry for quite a while.
