Moon of the Turning Leaves | Waubgeshig Rice

I guess that wraps up my #WeeklyFavorites for March. It's been a pretty good reading month, but moving into April, I feel like I need a refresh of how I approach reading. I've been using audiobooks as a replacement for putting my hands over my ears, and I would rather move *towards* books rather than *away* from reality. So we'll see if I can find a little more balance as we move into spring.

What a beautiful and immersive follow-up this novel is. I love the portrayal of the landscape and that Rice leaves dialogue in Anishinaabemowin untranslated, with context clues to meaning. While reading this novel, I have found myself observing the world around me differently and requesting from myself more attention in the moment. I find myself contemplating what's most important and how to center those elements in my life. It's a gift of a book.

Tamra I loved it too! Do you think there will be a third? 1w
ImperfectCJ @Tamra I'm not sure. In the author's note at the end, Rice seemed to indicate that he needed a little convincing from fans and editors to write this sequel, and I kind of feel like this one ended at a good point. But while I don't think it naturally lends itself to a third, I wouldn't mind spending more time with these characters and would certainly read a third if one came out. 1w
Tamra @ImperfectCJ yes - totally agree. 😁 1w

After the 6th graders put me through my paces in class tonight, I feel like having something stronger, but I'm trying to convince myself that salad, nonalcoholic kombucha, and post-apocalyptic fiction will nourish me better in the long run---and disturb my sleep less---than a martini.

I went to the library to pick up one hold, and three more books jumped into my arms. At least I wasn't visiting the animal shelter.

This book and the first one are a reading highlight of the year. Glad I listened to the audiobook to hear the Anishnaabe language and names spoken.

This might be my favourite volume of the series so far. It's the story about the fish and the robot creature that takes care of it. A lot of depth is revealed here. The philosophical ideas that flew into this chapter, deeply moved also touched me.

I loved the first book of this series and this was also excellent. You should definitely read Moon of the Crusted Snow first. Both take place in Canada in a post apocalyptic world. It is more of a thriller than anything else and has a wonderful cast of characters. 4.5⭐️

Tamra I wonder if he‘ll write a third? 3mo
Julsmarshall @Tamra I hope so! 3mo

The end of this book absolutely gutted me! I loved the first book, and this is almost as good. The first 100 pages are slow, but the last 200 are not. I hope he writes a third! (2)
⭐️: 4/5

Amazing! This follow up to the thoughtful dystopian novel Moon of the Crusted Snow was fantastic, beautiful writing, tight pacing, and the setting in an indigenous community after the fall of the world is brilliant and compelling. If you haven‘t checked out these short (under 200 pages!) novels from Waubgeshig Rice, you are truly missing out. #BookspinBingo

Tamra I agree, great writing! 3mo

My #12Booksof2024 pick for August is another one that I'd been meaning to read forever and finally got around to thanks to the #ClassicLSFBC group. I wish I'd read it way back when, but am glad to have read it now.

@Andrew65

Andrew65 Looks good. 3mo
Ruthiella Nice! This is your second year-end pick from #ClassicLSFBC ! 3mo
