pickThis was an enjoyable collection of science fiction short stories. There are a lot of classic tropes, computers becoming sentient, time travel, alien invaders, BUT written by an aboriginal man from Canada these tropes take on a new twist.
Entertaining and educational, quotable and memorable, short and sweet!

Used for my #WIAN24 challenge: book with an NFL team in the title

A fantastic urban fantasy story drawing inspiration from Lipan Apache legends! With an asexual protagonist, strong family relationships, and a fantastic narrator for the audiobook, this was easily my favorite read of April!

pickFirst of all, the cover of this book is stunning. Second of all, I had to take my time with these essays. There is a lot to absorb. Thirdly, this is a powerful journey of awakening and discovery and growth and self-embracing and power. And the author offers us the same gifts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis novel was not at all what I expected. It was so much better. A dystopian story from Indigenous point of view, expelling the systemic prejudice that tries to take over their lives. In the process, their community grows tighter and stronger as times become more desperate. The final straw will shock you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickDevastating. 😢 A reminder there is serious work for the Americas to do with respect to racism against Indigenous peoples and the consequences stemming from colonialism. Heavy prices continue to be paid, even by the most vulnerable.
pickAudio. The writing style took a bit to get used to, yet once it got there the theme really stuck. Slow narrative, but it works with this theme. Short stories to bring one back to nature. The books points basically take Native American gratitude teachings and reapply them to today‘s desire for buying stuff. What impacted me was the chapter on rain. How water connects us all. How rain is different for every item it falls upon.

This was a pan for me because of the lack of images (Libby never has the accompanying images etc…) things got easily confusing. I look forward to finding more Anishinaabeg stories.

📕 I was sick yesterday so I‘m getting a late start, but you can now count me in for the #MidDecemberReadathon for #WinterGames24!
🤖 My goal is to finish Take Us to Your Chief. I‘m currently on page 9/153.
🎄Thank you for the push to read in this busy season @LiseWorks and @StayCurious !
My current audiobook. This is the recent winner of the 2024 Cundill History Prize. The language is a little overkill in lifting up the native image and condemning the European one. But the info has been good.
