5 stars, a razor sharp tale of First Nations American Indians. Filled with pathos and aching sadness. The language is like a target that shoots you into the story so that you feel it like you‘re there

As his new book hits stores, I‘ve finally gotten around to reading There There. I enjoyed the book for its structure - first person multiple POV. Plus, it takes place in Oakland and so it‘s always interesting to read stories that take place in my own neck of the woods.

A 4 of 5 ⭐️ novel of intertwining lives, generations and personal stories as a group of seemingly disparate people make their way to the Oakland Powwow. Most are searching for self, family and tradition, but others are going with dark intentions. I listened to the audio. A large voice cast made each character distinct. Each character‘s story was powerful as the plot amped up the tension to the end. It‘s a pick. Looking forward to Orange‘s next.

LoverOfLearning Just finished this audiobook and discussed it in my book club! A get book to review I think! I really enjoyed it. Solid 4 stars for me. 1y
Honeybeebooks @LoverOfLearning It was amazing in audio. I am looking forward to discussing it with my book club in a few weeks. 1y

I finally discovered (it‘s apparently been up for a year) 🤦🏻‍♀️ a little free library in my neighborhood & just about a mile away from my house. I left 2 books & a few book stickers & took the tagged book, which I have been wanting to read. 📚💚

marleed I love finding a new LFL on my walking path. I see the Colleen Hoover in there! I discovered CoHo by picking a book from a LFL and then as I continued my walk another CoHo in a second LFL. I decided the book gods were telling me to read that author! 2y
DebinHawaii @marleed There are not very many near me, so I am excited this one is so close! Maybe if the Colleen Hoover book is there next time, I‘ll view it as a sign too! 😂 (edited) 2y
5feet.of.fury 😍 there‘s 2 near me but they are usually more kids book oriented, I still check them every now and then tho 2y

BarkingMadRead Ohhhhhh it‘s such a happy looking LFL and that was a really good book! 2y
BarkingMadRead Also…. Did you know there‘s an app for that? It has a map function with the addresses of the LFL in the area. Not all of them, because I guess not everyone registers them, but it‘s been so helpful to me! 2y
DebinHawaii @5feet.of.fury Yes, the other one close to me is at a grade school & it‘s pretty much all kids books! 😂 2y
DebinHawaii @BarkingMadRead I do have the app—that‘s actually how I found this one when I realized I hadn‘t checked in quite a while! 2y

This had a disorienting number of characters, but it was a good book with an intense ending. #indiegnousauthors
