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.
so-so3⭐️ Thought the book was ok; not my cup of tea though. #reread #bookclub #fiction #2024 #dystopian #canadian #indigenious
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…

Checking in at the midpoint of The Golden Road! Thoughts on the first half of the book?
Which events and adventures stand out to you? What do you think of “Our Magazine”?
In comparing it to The Story Girl, do you see growth and change in the characters?
Listened a second time in preparation for the sequel. I enjoyed it even better! Narrator has the perfect voice and accent for it. 😁
I think this novel especially appeals to me having grown up in an isolated AK Native village. It has a familiar ring.
The life of a young teacher in 30s Manitoba. Her pupils‘ poverty is incredible. Meanwhile, where I live, the fog outside is so thick right now it‘s like living in cotton wool...
