Welcome to Litsy!

“Vermette challenges the familiar narrative of the scary wolf who is the antagonist in most fairy tales. The girl is lost with only the wolf to help her, but across the narrative she learns to trust the wolf.“ Read the full review of this Indigenous remix of Little Red Riding Hood here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/5/

I've been bone watching more than reading lately, my brain is just not up for it, but when I do read I'm loving this one, set on Russia's isolated Kamchatka Peninsula

Waiting on a washing machine repair tech (5 people in a house with a broken washing machine - the piles are taking over!). "Sometime between 9 and 1." I know I could be doing other chores, but it feels like if I start on something, I could be interrupted right away, so instead, I read.

This is both my #doublespin for March and the March pick for the Morbidly Curious Bookclub. I didn‘t realize that it‘s built around the kidnapping of two young girls, but as soon as the girls were approached by a man, my whole body went “nope” and turned off the audiobook. I can‘t bear to see how it turns out. Posting my DNF for the #bookspin record. I see high praise for it here, but it‘s not for me.

"As millions of Americans sit down to celebrate Thanksgiving, many around the world don‘t know the racist history behind the holiday. But Indigenous people have kept the true story alive for generations. Here‘s a brief look at the holiday‘s origins." (see tagged book).

I love when libraries have their little lists on Libby - this little gem is from Queens Public Library‘s Native American Heritage list. I may have downloaded like 10 books. Gonna read them while listening to football games.

So excited to read this to my littles. I am not a huge fan of thanksgiving. So i do try and find alternative books for them.

A high school near where I live just changed their mascot, and sadly it was quite a controversial issue. I think I'll put this book in some free little libraries in the area. 😏😏😏

Illustrated by Michaela Goade & influenced by Tlingit folklore, this book will be a great way to introduce the task of Poet Laureate and celebrate our native neighbors on whose unceded land we learn.
