Jonny Appleseed | Joshua Whitehead

Jonny is a 2-spirit “NDN glitter princess.” He leaves his northern Manitoba rez for life in Winnipeg, where he finds other queers, but faces new difficulties, including the constant racism that‘s a fact of life for #Indigenous folk in Canadian cities. Jonny is a memorable character with a fresh & gritty voice: funny & heartbreaking, with lyrical & coarse language that‘s sprinkled with Cree words & colloquialisms. #LGBTQ #nativebooks 🇨🇦

LeahBergen This is such a stunning cover, too. 7y
Lindy @LeahBergen I like it too, even though I would rather see a different font. The cover design is by Oliver McPartlin. The art is by Erin Konsmo. 7y
Dragon I was driving to work a few weeks ago and heard the author on Sheila Rogers show on the CBC. A very interesting interview 👍 7y
Lindy @Dragon I should re-listen, now that I‘ve read the book. (I subscribe to the podcast edition of The Next Chapter.) 7y

The Back of the Turtle | Thomas King

Another excellent novel by Thomas King. He weaves corporate greed and environmental destruction into a whimsical at times, apocalyptic almost-fairytale about grief, loss, and resurgence. I stayed up too late reading it two nights in a row. I just didn't want to put it down! #Nativebooks

Billypar Great novel! And on a side note, Roth must really love Erdrich- he blurbed Plague of Doves also, and I can't even remember seeing Roth blurbs for other authors. 7y
JazzFeathers @Billypar l started it on my travel to work and it's so good. I can't wait to be home tonight and keep reading! 7y

Heaps of humour, a monster based on #Indigenous folklore, gender issues, great characters, and the gritty realism of contemporary life on a reserve in Saskatchewan: this novel has all kinds of good stuff going for it. I enjoyed it very much. #CanadianAuthor #NativeBooks #OwnVoices

The cover art is by Aaron Paquette, an artist, author, and also an elected city councillor in Edmonton. Eye catching, even as a tiny ebook image on my phone. #nativebooks #Indigenousauthors

I'm biased because this author is a dear friend but it's an absolutely gorgeous read. Poetry, prose, sardonic wit and deep truths about being Native in Canada. It look me a long time to read it because I kept re-reading it. I adored this one! #Nativebooks #queerbooks

Haven't read it yet. I know it will be very similar to Momaday, it will be very spiritual, and l'm kind of intimidated. But l will come to it 😊

readordierachel This was my pick too! I've heard great things about it. 8y
batsy I have this one too. It does sound intimidating but so good. 8y
JazzFeathers @ReadOrDieRachel lt is a classic, this much l know. Maybe that's part of what intimidates me. But l will get to it! 8y
JazzFeathers @batsy True. All this talking about it is making me want to read it 😆 8y

Very visionary, strongly spiritual, this is the Native novel l had more difficulties getting into. I'm also not very familiar with the Pueblo cultures, which didn't help.
I'm sure l missed a lot between the lines, but what a did catch was very powerful, the story of a veteran serching for his true self in so many different ways.
Loved it.
