I loved the Marrow Thieves by this author so I was excited to read this. Paid full price. About half way through and I just find it flat. To continue or no?
pickGosh I really loved this book. The writing is beautiful, almost lyrical sometimes, and the story was so compelling & moving.
It is a ghost story, a love story. It's about grief & how difficult it is to move forward. It's about family & identity and what it means to feel like you don't belong.
I loved the subtle magical realism of it all. I appreciate the indigenous perspective of this author & the depth it brings to her characters and storytelling
pickI received this from the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program.
👻 This is a unique coming-of-age story about a teenage girl who lives in a graveyard with her dad who works there. A mystery, a supernatural resident, romance, and indigenous values are layered in, making this a book I would recommend to others and that I won't soon forget. Bonus points for the comedic chihuahua sidekick.

pickThis is a beautiful read, and most definitely the most intimate when compared to her other books- don‘t even go looking for the Marrow Thieves! A good, edgy story about loss and growing up with it is front and center. Dimaline populates her novel with indigenous culture and characters that, as she usually does in what I‘ve read, covers the gambit of good and bad, to deliver a very human story of getting through things and living with it.
Early Saturday #Bookmail! Super excited to receive this copy of Cherie Diimaline‘s Funeral Songs for Dying Girls. I won it from the April 2023 batch of LibraryThing‘s Early Reviewers giveaway. I was nervous it wasn‘t going to arrive before we moved. Worry no more 😉. I will be reading and reviewing it soon. 🤞🏾 Hopefully, I enjoy it.
