The cover of Hole in the Sky by Daniel H. Wilson, it's a sky with green grassy hills at the very bottom of the frame. In the middle of the sky is a hole that looks like a galaxy inside.

Finishing up the audiobooks that I have on loan in Libby. Going to move more to using Libro.FM and CDs from the library for audiobooks as much as I can.
screen shot of audiobook “braiding sweetgrass” by robin wall kimmerer.
this is a great time for me to get back into reading “braiding sweetgrass” by robin wall kimmerer #BookSky #IndigenousBookSky
My hand holding up the hardcover edition of Exposure by Ramona Emerson. You can see various pieces of art on the wall in the background as well as 2 bookshelves. The tallest one has a bright lamp on on top. And a Bulbasaur plush is in the background.
Just finished Exposure by Ramona Emerson! This is the 2nd book to Shutter. This picks up right where we left off. The intense detail that is given in these books is wild. Rita is a Navajo crime scene photographer who sees ghosts. ⬇️ #BookSky #IndigenousBookSky

Just finished Braiding Sweetgrass and it's equal part infuriating, informative, and hopeful. It's grounding in a way I didn't fully expect and low-key funny. I think Kimmerer is only the 2nd indigenous author I've read (w/ Alexie) and I need to change that.

I just finished Love After The End!!! Omg I loved it!!! 💖 Every story was incredible! I'd finish one and go 'oh this is my fave' just to get to the next one and have the same thought haha. I love when an anthology just has banger after banger 👏🏾. I need to go buy a copy 🏃🏾♀️ #Booksky #IndigenousBookSky
On top of a green blanket with white lines in the repeating square shapes lies my steam deck which is playing Spirit City Lofi. My avatar in the game sits on her bed reading, with the new Catsudon spirit also reading. You can see the green bar of the timer going. Below the steam deck is a paperback copy of Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit & Indigoqueer Speculative Fiction Edited by Joshua Whitehead. The cover looks like an oil painting of a mountain range in the distance, a body of water and a shore with tall trees. A man wrapped in a blue robe and a feather headless stands on the shores. There are figures that to me look to be wood carvings around him. The title is in big but thin lettering. There is an embedded sticker for the Lambda Literary Awards Winner
Currently Reading:

A grey blanket and a yellow blanket scrunched up to prop up a Steam Deck that has Spirit City Lofi playing. The game has my character reading and a lil salamander reading as well. You can see the time is 8:30am, and it's blurry but you can see my timer running for my reading time. In front of the Steam Deck is a mug of tea, the decor on the mug is a busy floral design with white block letters that read in all caps "Black Lives Matter" the inside of the mug is yellow. Next to the mug is a paperback copy of As Many Ships As Stars by Weyodi OldBear. The cover is a galaxy in purple and pink hues, with 3 ships hurtling through. One of the ships is closer and we see it is in a pointed shape, almost like a spinning top. Colors of blue yellow and red reflect off of it.
Morning ☺️ this morning I'm enjoying some lemon balm tea and starting As Many Ships As Stars by Weyodi OldBear! #IndigenousBookSky #SciFiBooks #BookSky what are you reading this weekend? 📚

My hand holding a paperback copy of Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes Through Indigenous Science by Jessica Hernandez.PhD. White text that I added is written above the book that reads "Required Reading! Get your hands on this book now!"
Fresh Banana Leaves by Dr. Jessica Hernandez! Add this to your list, request it at the library, listen to it, do whatever you gotta do to get this book and retain the knowledge within. Okay? Okay next rec 👇🏾 #booksky #indigenousbooksky #blackbooksky
Just finished Blood Sisters by Vanessa Lillie! #booksky #indigenousbooksky Absolutely incredible! The month of May is also MMIW month. This month spreads awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women and twospirit people. This story follows Syd, an archeologist for the BIA, cont'd ↓
It is closing off a lot of literature BS I am too tired to read anymore.
Besides, I want to read characters like myself by people that look like me or at the very least have a voice and characters I can relate to.

My hand holding a copy of Moonshoot: The Indigenous Comics Collection. The cover art is titled "Northern Crow" and was painted by Mètis artist Stephen Gladue.
I started reading Moonshoot last night, loving these comics so far! 👏🏾 #comics #indigenousbooksky #indigenouscomics
Cover artwork is titled "Northern Crow" by Mètis artist Stephen Glaude.
The cover of "Never Whistle at Night" features a colourful and detailed illustration against a dark background. The title is displayed in large white letters, with the subtitle "An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology" in orange above it. The book is edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr., with an introduction by Stephen Graham Jones. The illustration includes various elements such as plants, flowers, and animals. A long red snake with pink markings winds through the greenery. There are also eerie yellow eyes hidden among the grass, a frog, a mouse, and a skull-winged moth.
Upon seeing this titel, I knew I had to have this book. Growing up, not whistling at night was one of the things that I was regularly warned about. And the cover is stunning, too.
