pickI needed an audio with no holds! IYKYK 🤣 I chose where Wolves Don‘t Die by Anton Treuer and what a delight! This is a YA coming of age story through the eyes of 15 yo Ezra and his Native family. Treuer is an amazing storyteller who also narrated the book and his voice is one I could listen to on repeat. This story has just the right amount of adventure, mystery, history and life lessons to keep any age engaged. I‘m glad I stumbled upon this one.
pickRecommend this on audio. Tagaq is an Inuit throat singer and she sings between chapters.
This is part poetry, part short story, and I am unsure how much is fiction. It is a unique and hard read (review trigger warnings, there is many dark abuses)
Rating for the originality and craft event though it was a bit dark for me.
#12Booksof2025 February
My pick for February is Indian Horse, read as part of @Jess861 ‘s #OCanada group
pickI liked how the time jumps were handled. I loved how everything was connected and explained. It wasn‘t too stereotypical and not to flowery. Good book.
pickIn my latest booktube episode: Do you read Canadian? Do you use your public library? (I do!! )

pickEvery year I add the newest Stephen Graham Jones novel to my TBR; every year I fail to read any of his work. This year I'm quite vexed with myself for failing, because the brilliance of his work is exactly what I didn't know I needed.
This was not an easy book to listen to. Jones's characters come alive on the pages in a horrifically real way, that makes you care and hate them with equal measure.

I finally started the patterned part of my aunt‘s lefthand mitten while I finished Richard Wagamese‘s memoir. It doesn‘t look like much of anything yet, but I feel like it‘s coming along faster than the righthand one did. We‘ll see if I still feel that way now I‘m past the first ten rows. #audioknitting
More snow this morning. 🙄 Good excuse to read this quirky Canadian novella for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge
