pickA gem I picked up at my library‘s used book sale. I find Erdrich‘s writing beautiful and heartbreaking. I feel a real connection to Native American culture and Erdrich is one of my favorite authors.

pickCompelling, heartbreaking, and very impactful. I did not see that end coming! Betrayal, double crossing, and deep rooted mistrust. Such a fantastic book. Book #97 in 2024
pickStunning and transformative. These pieces brought the oldest myths and traditions into the world we live in now, and merged the two like a double exposed photograph. It showed beauty in places we typically don‘t see it, and exposed an authenticity to certain rituals in ways I‘d never fully understood before.

Once again a poem in my morning poetry book was inspired by a specific song, and since I don‘t know much about jazz listening to this with Joy Harjo‘s words in mind was revelatory.

(I couldn‘t find a link to the poem, but it‘s The Other Side of Yellow to Blue in the Tagged book).
One bingo Column 1 🎉 and a “sort of” bingo Row 3 when I randomly placed the books I was currently reading when I realized I had failed to put them on the original list of 20. OOOOPs❗️ I won‘t likely finish any more books from the card in the next few days…. I am proud that I got the Spin 🍭 Book read 😁 I read 14 books this month — only 6 were on this card 🤔 #BookSpinBingo
Never read Joy Harjo before this summer and now I can't wait to get my hands on other books she's written!

So, I read this a few weeks ago and have really already forgot most of what happened(not to be mean)but that‘s the truth. I remember liking the story but it was really slow and just not so much for me….loved my picture though❤️🤷🏼♀️
pickI'm not sure what to think or how to describe what I'm feeling. This book is an interesting mix of poetry & short stories that were also poetic. The stories are not beautiful or fantastic but are sad and real, which makes them lovely in their own way. The poetry is what really ties this collection together.

Book 8 #summerreadingchallenge (PEN/Faulkner award winner)
pickCrooked families, drugs, land theft and mostly a story of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIWG2S) come together to make this outstanding twisty mystery set in NE Oklahoma written by a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
