TheBirchbarkHouse

The Birchbark series is now complete and right at home here on my indigenous author‘s shelf. Sadly, the invisible bookends didn‘t work for me, so this glass water bottle is serving as a bookend at the moment. Clearly I just need more books by indigenous authors to fill in this cube. 😂🤣😂

Hooked_on_books I recommend Eden Robinson and David Treuer as some indigenous author options. Oh, and Joshua Whitehead! 3y

GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books thanks for the recommendations. The only other person I could think of just now was Stephen Graham Jones. 3y

Hooked_on_books I just thought of Leslie Marmon Silko, too. I read her book Ceremony years ago and it really stuck with me.

Ceremony: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books oh Ceremony sounds REALLY good. 3y

The Birchbark House | Louise Erdrich

This is such a sweet story. It‘s a full year in the life of a young girl who is stronger than she knows and has a secret past you completely forget about until the very end. She has an older sister and two younger brothers. Her favourite is her baby brother. She wants to be a healer more than anything. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I wish this series had been around when I was a kid. I think I would have fallen in love with Omakayas - little frog, be wise her first step was a hop - her happy spirit and her genuine view of the world. I can‘t wait to read the next book. #LouiseErdrich #TheBirchbarkHouse #TheBirchbarkHouseSeries 4y

merelybookish Ive been meaning to read this series for eons. It is her response to the Little House on the Prairie series. 4y

GingerAntics @merelybookish it sure is. I was reading an article by a woman who read the whole Little House series over and over as a kid, and why she wouldn‘t read them to her son. She recommended this series so I gave it a shot, and I am so glad I did. I actually like it better than I ever liked the little house books. This is one of those series I‘m going to have to get in physical copy to restart my library. 4y

merelybookish @GingerAntics Really must get to it! 4y

GingerAntics @merelybookish you‘re not the only person who has said they‘ve been putting off reading this book. It seems to be a popular TBR book. 🤣 I hope you get to enjoy it soon. 4y

merelybookish @GingerAntics Haha. Funny how some books are like that. 🤷 4y
