I never fully connected with this story, and I think that‘s largely due to the writing style. The storytelling felt disjointed and lacked a natural flow. The premise was intriguing, but if it hadn‘t been the library‘s book club pick, I probably wouldn‘t have finished it. Book #35 in 2025

A Snake Falls to Earth | Darcie Little Badger

Lately, I find myself gravitating towards fantasy stories that are steeped in (or feel like they are steeped in) folklore. This is a perfect example. Both POVs are engaging and I love the way they came together. The dual narrators work well and Darcy Little Badger's writing is a joy to listen to/read.

I picked this up for a Decolonize Your Bookshelf challenge. It‘s written by a two-spirit author about a two-spirit child who makes a ribbon skirt to wear to a pow wow. They are nervous about what others will think, but after speaking to the lake spirit and various animal spirits, they decide to do what makes them happy. It‘s a sweet illustrated graphic novel with a great message.

The Girl and the Wolf | Katherena Vermette

“Vermette challenges the familiar narrative of the scary wolf who is the antagonist in most fairy tales. The girl is lost with only the wolf to help her, but across the narrative she learns to trust the wolf.“ Read the full review of this Indigenous remix of Little Red Riding Hood here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/5/

Happy Poetry Month!

Today I finished this book of poems which I‘ve been reading a bit at a time for 7 months.
Some of them I loved. Some I didn‘t connect with.
It is clear, however, she was our Poet Laureate for a reason! She can use words to paint a picture of what‘s happening in the heart.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

jaye‘s second poetry collection delivers some really good stuff but a few of them missed the mark for me. Maybe it‘s cause I‘m reading on the subway and it‘s hard to take it all in while reading on a phone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do think it‘s important to read more queer, indigenous voices and jaye‘s description of their relationship with their body as a 2 spirit indigiqueer person is really moving.

Kenyazero Good find! I‘ll have to pick this one up. 1w
Kitta @Kenyazero it was available on Libby through my local library! 1w
Kenyazero @Kitta looks like my library doesn‘t have it physically or digitally, but I just placed a hold on another book by this author and an indigiqueer anthology their work appears in called Love After The End: An Anthology of Two-spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction 1w
Kitta @Kenyazero I haven‘t read that one! But it sounds good. 1w

This a good book and covers a large range of themes. I think I‘m just not a fan of her writing style

Blueberry I always want to like her books more than I do. 1w

The author tries to tackle more than 400 years worth of history in about 300 pages, so some of a lot of details are left as a brief sentence or passage but for what is here, I can see that a lot of work and care went into this but a larger piece of me was really interested in learning about about the history of the different indigenous tribes and the meso American groups prior to European colonization a lot more but all in all a good read.
