pickA brief book that takes us with Fleur as she tries to get revenge and reclaim her land. Told predominantly from the perspectives of her sister in law and Nanapush (who also adds some levity with stories about his antics with Margaret) Fleur remains a enigmatic and compelling character. I am loving dipping in and out of this series this year.
#summerSpecial #rain I read this years ago, and loved it! I was happy to find a copy of the University of New Mexico edition again.
This is my last day in Tombstone, Arizona so I decided to spend some time in the pool and then reading poolside at the guest ranch where my BFF and I have been staying for the weekend. It's been a great trip and I've had time before and after all the touristy things to get halfway through this book.
Every time somebody interrupts me while I‘m trying to read this, I get more and more annoyed. 😒 I don‘t want to put it down, how dare people expect me to work at work! 😂 #sistersofthelostnation #nickmedina #louisianalit #nativeamericanlit
pickI finally finished the Love Medicine tetralogy (apparently that‘s what a 4 book series is called). While still excellent this one has the fewest stars from me - possibly because my favourite older characters aren‘t in the foreground and something in the plot that didn‘t get resolved disturbed me. I think I understand why it ends that way but if anyone else reads this I‘d love to discuss it!
Also here‘s my library in autumn - not spring here 😊🍁🍂
pickThis was a great read. It gave a perspective that inspired empathy and respect and was written beautifully. Would absolutely recommend
Bookstore puppy socializing resulted in this acquisition. ☺️ The premise is intriguing.
As a bonus, at the same time I also made room on my own shelves by trading in three air fryer cookbooks. I am going to donate my air fryer - it isn‘t big enough to use for a family of four so it mainly sits in the utility room gathering dust. Unlike my IP, which I use regularly! 💙
pickWell I am very very pleased with my book club choice. (Not a modest statement). Thank you to the Dulwich bookshop who made me aware of this book. Amazing book. Not an easy read perhaps? I would say push through the first 50 pages. The writing is beautiful, very creative blending narrative, legends, metaphors. Looking forward to discussing it with my book club.
