This is a different book by Auntie Fay, not in the database.

Always Was Always Will Be is an excellent book of the history of First Nations protest movements in Australia. Suitable for middle grade and up, but I learned things also. Recommended.

I guess that wraps up my #WeeklyFavorites for March. It's been a pretty good reading month, but moving into April, I feel like I need a refresh of how I approach reading. I've been using audiobooks as a replacement for putting my hands over my ears, and I would rather move *towards* books rather than *away* from reality. So we'll see if I can find a little more balance as we move into spring.

What a beautiful and immersive follow-up this novel is. I love the portrayal of the landscape and that Rice leaves dialogue in Anishinaabemowin untranslated, with context clues to meaning. While reading this novel, I have found myself observing the world around me differently and requesting from myself more attention in the moment. I find myself contemplating what's most important and how to center those elements in my life. It's a gift of a book.

Tamra I loved it too! Do you think there will be a third? 1mo
ImperfectCJ @Tamra I'm not sure. In the author's note at the end, Rice seemed to indicate that he needed a little convincing from fans and editors to write this sequel, and I kind of feel like this one ended at a good point. But while I don't think it naturally lends itself to a third, I wouldn't mind spending more time with these characters and would certainly read a third if one came out. 1mo
Tamra @ImperfectCJ yes - totally agree. 😁 1mo

Saki‘s just chillin‘ by my fireside bookstack. The top book, BAD ENDINGS, is my current short story collection, and it‘s a strong one. Carleigh Baker excels at finding the slices of experience that illuminate a character‘s life. #MFMarch

After the 6th graders put me through my paces in class tonight, I feel like having something stronger, but I'm trying to convince myself that salad, nonalcoholic kombucha, and post-apocalyptic fiction will nourish me better in the long run---and disturb my sleep less---than a martini.

I went to the library to pick up one hold, and three more books jumped into my arms. At least I wasn't visiting the animal shelter.

I got an amazing deal on ground pork this morning, so I went to the library to borrow my favourite cookbook and ended up grabbing a couple short story collections off their feature display plus a play by Tomson Highway. #MFMarch

This book and the first one are a reading highlight of the year. Glad I listened to the audiobook to hear the Anishnaabe language and names spoken.

I loved the first book of this series and this was also excellent. You should definitely read Moon of the Crusted Snow first. Both take place in Canada in a post apocalyptic world. It is more of a thriller than anything else and has a wonderful cast of characters. 4.5⭐️

Tamra I wonder if he‘ll write a third? 3mo
Julsmarshall @Tamra I hope so! 3mo

The end of this book absolutely gutted me! I loved the first book, and this is almost as good. The first 100 pages are slow, but the last 200 are not. I hope he writes a third! (2)
⭐️: 4/5
