SomedayAlmost
My Heart Is a Chainsaw | Stephen Graham Jones

Read this book. Jade stays with you after the last unique page. Slasher flicks as metaphor for alienation, racism against native communities, family violence… in a dark and sometimes darkly comic tale. The bold, vivid, sad, unexpected ending blew me away. Perhaps my favorite book of 2022? #unique #horror #comingofage #indigenousvoices

I just noticed I never posted my review of this one. This is between a pick and a so-so for me. I‘m actually a little torn, but I‘m giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Honestly, I was a little confused by this book. It‘s about running, but its not. In the end, even the run itself is abandoned and doesn‘t really play a role in the ending of the book. I still really enjoyed it.

GingerAntics Mostly, I‘m sorry Noé didn‘t get to connect with his indigenous roots. He basically kept to the outskirts of the run. I don‘t know. It‘s a great story and a great adventure he went on, but I just wish there were more. This is a great read (or listen) for Latin Heritage Month. 2y

I‘ve been falling back in love with running again lately (it‘s the thing I most look forward to every weekend), so I decided to listen to something about running on my rides to and from work. Loving this one so far.

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics BUT we have all kinds of events I always pre read 😂 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I was about to say, that is SO far away!!! 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics if I have it read I can then get students ready to read it and have a grasp of it. Others read it with I am not comfortable with that 🤪 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 😂🤣😂 I love that you bring your students along for the ride! 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 😂 they- after one year just comply 😂😂😂the older ones “get use to it, it is” the beauty is I‘m old enough to have had students come back and tell me I saved their very life. Even without that … educate educate read read read !! 3y
GingerAntics I was just online and the library sort of near here (a few hours away) that was doing the big read, did it in 2019. I never paid attention to the date on the articles I was reading. 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🤣😂🤣 I think it‘s so important to expose kids to all kinds of literature. You never know what‘s going to really click with someone. If you don‘t expose them to as much as possible, as close to everything as humanly possible, how can these kids know what they like to read or that they don‘t like reading anything? (edited) 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics When there‘s a new kid “PLEASE don‘t ask her about SHAKESPEARE … please no “ 😂😂😂 (edited) 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 😂🤣😂 Uh-Oh, you‘ve Shakespeared them?! 🤣😂🤣 that is priceless!!! 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I found out the public school teaches a SNIPPET of Romeo & Juliet that‘s it, don‘t give them a book with the play nada… so we do Macbeth ALLL of it. And at lunch I occasionally may read passages from the Act of the week ✊🏼 (edited) 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie what a cop out on R&J, but then I was in preAP English so we did all of Julius Caesar, but regulars did part of it from the English textbook instead of the actual play. 🙄 Totally ridiculous. I literally did more Shakespeare in 8th grade. I‘m telling you I went to a really good school, 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 😂🤣😂 that is AWESOME!!! 💙💙💙 You are the best!!! 3y

This is a great collection of indigenous tribes from all across the modern United States. These poems deal with everything from creation stories to everyday life and Indian boarding schools. The inclusion of people‘s from modern day Alaska and Hawaii was really cool. I also liked that they included LGBTQIA voices from within their communities. There was even one poem dedicated to “Native American two-spirit-identified” (non binary) people.

I‘m so excited to read this one. I‘ll be the first to admit that I was fortunate to at least get SOME of the indigenous story during my education (including a terrifying unit on the boarding schools), but there is still so much more to learn. Holding this book in my hands, I can guarantee that it‘s going to be a much better experience as a physical book, though I do also own the ebook.

This is a far more accurate version of this song. We should teach children this version, sit proudly where they sing these truths, and just maybe things will get a little better.

I didn‘t notice before that this is a Norton Anthology. This bad boy is going to keep me in poetry for quite a while.
