March 2024 best read = Mean Spirit / Linda Hogan, Book #26 2024. (#ReadICT : indigenous author)
February = Blackouts / Justin Torres, Book #11 - winner ToB XX
January = Clare Pooley's The Authenticity Project, Book #5. (Also #ReadICT : lost/found category)
Mean Spirit is better!! Or maybe, I can suggest that if you liked/appreciated Grann‘s NF book: Killers of the Flower Moon, you must please seek out Mean Spirit to get a fabulously told story with heart & grit with the Indigenous Peoples perspective.
(In further study, FYI, Hogan was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize with Mean Spirit.)

I‘m fairly certain that I probably wouldn‘t like/respect Bunny in real life, but in this novel, I did. Following her meandering through her life and her proximity to oil yet not understanding it completely was mesmerizing. This worked for me and liked the quick pace of time.
Welcome to Day 3 of #LitsyTob24!
Our winner today is Mobility, with two thirds of the vote!
Both books had female MCs who were navigating their way through life, alongside unique storytelling about families, but each book had a distinctive style.
What did you think of the storytelling? Did you like both Belle and Bunny?
We‘re looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the books and today‘s result!
It took me a while to get into this book but I ended up liking it much more than I thought it would.
I loved the satirical moments when Bunny tries to consider climate change and other momentous issues affecting the world but then gets distracted by a colleague's designer shoes. I'd like to think that I'm not like Bunny but I realize I'm writing this on my computer in my well heated home with my car parked outside the door. 😅
