Another Indigenous author rec because I LOVE this series! The Nampeshiweisit books by Moniquill Blackgoose (Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe) are Indigenous-centered fantasy with dragons, magic, culture, colonization & staying true to who you are. Only 2/3 are out, so beware the cliffhangers! 😅 #booksky

I just have to share some of my favorite books by Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians): Firekeeper’s Daughter, Warrior Girl Unearthed, and Sisters in the Wind. 📚💙 Fast-paced Indigenous YA thriller mysteries centered on family, community, identity, and justice. #nativesky
📚 Have you heard of the Ouroboros duology- Godly Heathens & Merciless Saviors?? Queer gods, reincarnation, and a messy past that refuses to stay buried. This duology by H.E. Edgmon (Seminole) is a fun one for fantasy lovers. Also, these are my fav. book covers ✨ #booksky #nativesky #lgbtq

“You can’t eat pain without eating memory, and you can’t eat memory without eating story; to eat the self is to eat community is to eat those very ones you shield from the world.” CR: Making Love with the Land by Joshua Whitehead #booksky #nativesky
Sorry for going a little MIA lately… we had to have a baby, y’all 🤣💚 Most of my reading sessions these days look a lot like this. They’re usually short, and I’m definitely not flying through books the way I used to—but that’s okay. I’m soaking up every page, every cuddle, and every moment. 📚💙
