pickI‘m so happy Rice wrote this follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow. This one wasn‘t as good as the first, but it was a satisfying follow up. The audiobook had the same excellent narrator as well. #FoodAndLit #Canada
pickThis was such a good read, raw and searching, solid and seeing, compelling and quiet. It is storytelling in the most real sense of that term, like a history being imparted rather than a novel being written. And I guess it is, for all that the characters are fictional, their stories have real cousins out there that also need to be heard. I was deeply affected by the characters and the journeys they each traveled in order to find home.
I finally had time to watch The Gillers. If Anne Michaels writes as beautifully as she speaks, I‘m really going to have to read Held. I also really want to read Prairie Edge and Curiosities. The TBR just keeps getting bigger.
November 18th #DaysDevotedTo Princess 👸 My favorite princess book from a #CanadianAuthor #FoodandLit @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Texreader @Catsandbooks
I feel like the tone of this will be markedly different than my previous couple of reads, but I expect it will be a good one…
pickAbsolutely will continue with this series. I love this #CanadianAuthor #FoodandLit 3 sisters are tasked into taking a curse away from a rare necklace, and 2 are kidnapped. What will the third sister so. #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove24 it also had 664 pages. #ChunksterChallenge2024 #MiniChunkster @Texreader @Catsandbooks @DieAReader @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @Amiable @GHABI4ROSES
I found this very cool offering in a local free puzzle library (!!!) and did most of it while I listened to FUNERAL SONGS FOR DYING GIRLS. Alas, it‘s the first Cherie Dimaline novel I‘ve disliked. It offers up some intriguing threads, but the story as a whole fails to satisfying and the prose is so performatively purple that it shut me out of the emotions instead of placing me inside them. Sigh. #audiopuzzling
pickThis novel is unlike anything I have read before. There are no characters, except perhaps the land itself. Humans & nonhuman beings alike are there—with their fingers & claws & antlers—but our perspective as readers is somewhere above it all, witnessing changes over countless cycles of seasons. I did this as a text/audio combo & found it soothing. It also worked some kind of magic on my brain. #Indigenous #CanadianAuthor
