pickVol 4 out of 6, but so far there are no publishing dates for the last German volumes. I have a bad feeling about this...
This series is the one that tells me I'm not quite out of the manga genre. It speaks mostly through the artwork and shows us a dystopian world, that isn't quite that dystopian.
In this volume the girls learn about what humans are capable of doing. Like building weapons and destroying whole cities.
1. Yes. I‘ve always been a lover of books and a reader. I don‘t read as fast as I‘d like. With lots of interests, my days also run away from me, and I have to be purposeful with when I read.
2. Griz from the tagged book. May not have had great access to books in that post-apocalyptic world, but Griz read everything they did have or could find.

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.

pickWhat 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.
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.
pickAnother great post-apocalyptic Heller novel 😊 The main character, Hig, is seeking connection in a largely depopulated world. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was set in Denver, my neck of the woods.
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.
pickThis 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.
“You have my whole heart. You always did.”
A terrifying journey through an earth that promises a world of ash, fire and danger, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. To me, a classic
