Welcome to Litsy!

Two Metis cousins steal a herd of bison to release in an urban area, as an act of environmental activism. A good story, with plenty of humour and some suspense, that looks at the complexities of Indigenous issues.

I'm glad I found a book for the #52bookclub25 “includes a heist“ prompt, though I hadn't expected it would involve bison!

I think November was my best reading month of the year so it was hard to pick. This book stuck with me the most though- and I never would have read it if it weren‘t for #FoodAndLit #Canada

From a fantastic poetry collection by Katherena Vermette, a Métis author. Found on Everand.

This book was sad and covered some hard topics, but an incredibly good read. I didn‘t want the story of these women to end. #FoodAndLit #Canada

I am worn out tonight but in a good way. #hyggehour

I finished my awesome puzzle yesterday afternoon, and Cherie Dimaline and I are back on track with her Secret Garden remix! The original is one of those books Tiny Me drifted away from so I can‘t claim to know the source material well, but from a pure storytelling perspective I love everything Dimaline‘s doing here. #audiopuzzling

I‘m biggie sizing my hygge hour today. We‘re getting rain for the first time in over a month and I‘m going to sit still and celebrate that.

In this complex and emotionally resonant novel about a Métis girl living on the Canadian prairies, debut author Jen Ferguson serves up a powerful story about rage, secrets, and all the spectrums that make up a person—and the sweetness that can still live alongside the bitterest truth.

Taking #landback protests to a new level, two Metis youth move a herd of bison into a downtown Edmonton park. Activist Grey is determined to make a real difference while Ezzy, whose been in & out of institutions, his whole life, just wants to support Grey. Their plan works, sort of. But if course there are no easy fixes to colonialism or its impact on generations. Helping the bison doesn't save Grey or Ezzy from having to find their own path.
