I‘m realizing that these reading brackets will serve as a sneak preview for the lists people will end up receiving for #AuldLangSpine. That being said, there are definitely some books on mine that *won‘t* appear on my Best Of list — and some books that *will* appear that are missing from the bracket!

The Sentence is my (hands-down) choice for November.

peanutnine So true! Sometimes you have more than one really great book in one month and other months have mostly duds 3mo
TheKidUpstairs I 100% went out and bought Saltus after your review earlier this year. (Haven't read it yet, because I am a horrible magpie distracted by shiny things, but it's still on top of my TBR pile!) 3mo
Sapphire I agree, that some will but this year I had months with many great books and choosing the best was hard, I lament some titles that didn‘t make it into my bracket and then there was late summer that was all brain candy and my best for the month would NEVER make it on my top of the year reads. Brackets are fun but it‘s different 3mo

My first Erdrich novel. I really enjoyed it. I don‘t mind books that mention the pandemic since it‘s such an important moment in history. Not to mention the impact it has on minority communities & their experiences with the medical community. I always continue to appreciate insights of communities that I know little about. I was a little unsure of the story at first but after a few chapters I flew through the book. #bookspin

Tamra I loved this and Erdrich can be hit and miss. This one and Last Report are favorites. 4mo

I didn‘t review this book right after finishing it, which I always regret…but I regret it even more this time because The Sentence was FABULOUS & I should be doing it justice! The first chapter almost feels like it belongs to a different book (which is a pointed statement about how people change & how they stay the same); if you‘re not feeling it, keep reading. The writing knocked my socks off. First Erdrich for me and it won‘t be the last! 🤩

monalyisha I also desperately want to visit the bookstore featured in the novel (which Erdrich owns & fictionalizes — how much is anyone‘s guess!): https://birchbarkbooks.com/pages/our-story 4mo

I read the Forster so long ago I remember nothing and realized it wasn‘t on my shelves to revisit.

I can't put in words how much I loved this. At one point my husband asked me what it was about and I said, "Prison; a bookstore; Covid-19; ghosts; Indigenous communities; and George Floyd." Then he laughed because he thought I was just saying random words to mock him. ? Now I'll add trauma/inner demons; systemic oppression; necessary uprisings; balancing harm with benefit; friends/family; shame/regret; and reckoning, to the list. Masterful.

SamAnne Okay, I‘m moving this up,higher on my TBR. Been trying to get to this one for awhile. 5mo
CuriousG @SamAnne it sat on my shelf since the day the paperback version was released. I knew it would be good but just didn't get around to it until now. One of my god-daughters is in an Indigenous Literature course in high-school so I thought I'd read some Erdrich to discuss with her (I've read the whole reading list for her course already.) The course is Canadian authors only but Louise Erdrich is brilliant, so I'm bringing her to all the kids I know. 5mo

3 stars ⭐️
I picked up this book at an independent bookstore in St. Paul after visiting my grad school. I'd heard about it online, but decided to get it after reading that it takes place at a bookstore in the Twin Cities. It's not the type of story I'd normally read, but I learned a lot about Minnesota and the Native American population there, which I was unaware of. Not unusual in modern books was the weak plot and unnecessary crass.

I struggle with how to rate this book. It takes place at a bookstore in Minneapolis around the time of pandemic/George Floyd, so I am familiar with all places and events. I like the characters. I didn‘t hate the plot, but I kept waiting for “more.” Exactly more what, I‘m not sure. It wasn‘t really a mystery, nor was it just fiction. Unsatisfying? Meh? Okay? None of these seem to fit. I‘ll go with so-so head-scratcher.

I very much enjoyed the Native American backdrop and details, the bits of humor, the references to authors and books, the bookstore setting, but oh my, how boring most of this book was!
The almost chronicle of the 2020 pandemic and protests was completely disconnected from the storyline of the haunted bookstore and haunting past of Tookie and seemed to serve just to fill in the pages...

I enjoyed the plot of The Sentence more than The Night Watchman. In both books, however, the writing is beautiful and amazing! I loved the character of Pollux the most I think. I have been to the author's bookstore Birchback Books in Minneapolis, so it was fun imagining the store in my mind since many of the scenes take place there.

There‘s no denying Erdrich writes well but there‘s something about her books where I always feel like I‘m distant; I never feel fully immersed in them. There were elements I really liked in this; the characters, the development, the setting and all the book talk. I enjoyed it but can‘t say I loved it so a low pick. I preferred The Night Watchman. #authoramonth

This book has interesting characters, a compelling storyline, some magical realism, and a 7-page booklist that will make your TBR cry. Tookie is a bookseller in Minneapolis and the main character. I can‘t do justice to the plot, but one significant aspect is a former customer who ends up haunting Tookie. Another major event is George Floyd‘s murder and the subsequent protests, which we see from a close view. Not to mention COVID. #authoramonth

There‘s so much more to this book than about a formerly incarcerated indie bookseller who is haunted by a ghost in the bookstore. Many ‘heavy‘ topics are layered within. It‘s also a story about survival, community & second chances. I enjoyed the references to other works of literature; Tookie is a memorable character; & it‘s delightful to note that Birchbark Books is an actual store, owned by the author. My first L. Erdrich novel, and it‘s great.

This one felt very different than the other two I‘ve read by her (The Round House, The Night Watchman) although still unmistakably Erdrich. Somehow this one was slower-paced and more diffuse.

How to describe this book? It‘s a book about sentences (not just made of words), about dictionaries, about loads of books (will be going down a rabbit hole with those LISTS!).

I thought I should read an indigenous author for the US prompt for #ReadingtheAmericas2023 Erdrich is a Chippewa from Minneapolis and owns a bookstore. Our MC works in Louise‘s fictional bookstore and struggles with her own sense of self and with a ghost. The story takes place in the early days of the pandemic when we were all a bit haunted. The sentence of the title is both a grammatical language construct and a time of incarceration.

I liked this book but didn‘t love it. I liked the characters, the different stories but it was difficult for me to see the story integrated, as a whole. I saw some parts like forced maybe because the author wanted to mention something about the pandemic situation? I don‘t know, maybe it was me. I was expecting more. But I really enjoyed those passages related with American Indian traditions, beliefs. I took my time to seek more information.

I really liked the wandering language of this book. Sometimes Tookie‘s visions were quite out there, but it all came together to create a sweeping story about heritage, books, and found family. I wish I had properly read the blurb before picking it up though. I was not expecting to relive those early days of the pandemic and the tragic event that sparked the BLM movement.
