![]() ![]() Sure, I had Sylvia on Facebook, and was aware of her passion for movement within Indigenous communities - but I never knew much about what inspired her personally. “I focus on Indigenous, original peoples, treaty, nêhiyaw law, lands, water and animals,” says McAdam Saysewahum. Instead, she focuses on teaching and research. “I am what is referred to as a non-practicing lawyer,” she says. McAdam Saysewahum graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 2009. ![]() More recently, Nationhood Interrupted was nominated in the Non-Fiction, Aboriginal Peoples’ Writing, and Aboriginal Peoples’ Publishing categories for the Saskatchewan Book Awards this past year. I first caught word of the Healing Walk to Stop Clear Cutting on Treaty 6 Nehiyaw Lands event through Facebook, where Idle No More founder Sylvia McAdam Saysewahum was promoting it for the third year in a row.Īside from her tireless, internationally recognized Idle No More work, McAdam Saysewahum has authored two books: Cultural Teachings: First Nations Protocols and Methodologies (2009) and Nationhood Interrupted: Revitalizing nêhiyaw Legal Systems (2015). Perhaps that had a lot to do with the way I chose to spend my Canada Day. It reminds me of all the indigenous voices who promote the lyrics be changed to “our home on Native land.” ![]() I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the lobbying for change in the national anthem’s lyrics to be more gender inclusive. Canada Day is the best day for a Northern protest ![]()

![]() ![]() Reid's last four novels, the fourth of which happens to be "Carrie Soto is Back," comprise what she calls the "Famous Four." They all explore the lives of women on her rise to fame - and the hills and valleys that accompany that status. Fans who pay close attention to the Taylor Jenkins Reid literary universe know that Reid is somewhat a master of reintroducing familiar characters in a fresh way. ![]() ![]() How Taylor Jenkins Reid started her 'literary universe'Īs it pans out, Reid is no stranger to interweaving plots and characters from her novels into new stories. A post shared by Taylor Jenkins Reid of the author's novels may have done a double take when the title of this novel was revealed, as Carrie Soto was, in fact, also a minor character in Reid's 2021 novel "Malibu Rising." Readers may recall her throwing a temper tantrum on Nina Riva's lawn.īelow, the author talks about her interconnected literary universe and why it may be coming to an end, for now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It has a very Game of Thrones-at-its-best vibe that was really addicting to read. Nobody felt safe and that made the reading experience more exciting going into the last third of the book because you really couldn’t guess what was going to happen next. ![]() I also enjoyed that Córdova was not afraid to make major character choices before the third act. I feel that this could have been a tricky thing to do, but it is very easy to understand because she uses a variety of literary devices like flashbacks, similes, and metaphors. They were extremely three dimensional, we didn’t just get to read about how something looked, but we got to read about how something smelled and sounded like in vivid detail.Ĭórdova does a great job in breaking down the magic and how it interacts with the environment within the text. Every moment felt very fluid, which helped with the overall pacing of the book. One of the first things I noticed about this book was how lush the descriptions in the action sequences were. But when Dez gets captured by the crown and a horrific incident happens, Renata takes it upon herself to complete his mission. Dez, the leader, is the only person she can confide in, and their growing feelings for one another results in a romance that runs hot. ![]() Renata’s place in her ragtag team of Whispers is always questioned, and she doesn’t really feel comfortable among them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can be found in Holly’s book of short stories, The Poison Eaters.Ħ. Follows Roiben, and Kaye’s best friend Corny. ![]() The Land of Heart’s Desire- a short story that takes place one year after the events of Ironside. This story was never officially published, but is available on Cassie Clare’s website: ĥ. Timeline is unclear, but it takes place somewhere within the next year after Ironside is over. A cross over between MFT and Cassie’s Mortal Instruments series. Not for Humans- a short story co-written by Cassandra Clare. Begins around 2-3 weeks after the end of Valiant.Ĥ. The final full-length book in the series. Follows Kaye and Roiben again, along with some secondary characters from Valiant. Not necessary to understand anything else in the series, but still a worthwhile read. Valiant- a full-length companion novel to Tithe, and the second book in the series. Tithe- the first full-length book in the trilogy, and Holly Black’s very first book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Voth is also having a bit of a personal crisis that is only inflamed by the manuscript. ![]() But the footnotes grow more and more unhinged (and occasionally even speak to each other) as Voth's position at the university is put almost entirely in the control of a giant pharmaceutical-military-industrial-complex of a company that's subsidizing the university. Voth's footnotes are occasionally simply academic in nature, complete with citations and thoughts on queer theory or history. I never thought I'd see someone attempt another Pale Fire, and I certainly never thought they would pull it off.ĭr. The story is from a discovered manuscript, full of thievery and action and lots of sex and there is also a Pale-Fire-esque second narrative that plays out entirely through footnotes in that manuscript. It was pitched to me as Sarah Waters meets Vladimir Nabokov and I was like, "Sign me the hell up!" and it's a surprisingly good pitch. There are a few authors out there intent on changing that and Jordy Rosenberg's new novel is one of the most ambitious ones yet. Historical fiction tends to be very cis, straight, and white. ![]() ![]() ![]() It posits the notion that we are all connected to a universal mind, which preceded the presence of our,Īnd all universes, emanating from the pure potential that existed before time itself. ![]() It motivates the reader to reconsider everything they think they know about themselves and the world today, examining the different models of creation and evolution, the essence of matter and of life itself, exploring all manner of scientific, spiritual, psychological and philosophical hypotheses.

(Ages 3 to 7) -Emilie Coulter About the Author: Boynton's familiar style can be seen in scads of other delightfully nonsensical titles, including Barnyard Dance! and Moo, Baa, La La La!. ![]() The sturdy board book will withstand lots of eager counting fingers, and maybe even a berserk hippo or two. ![]() Lively, cute new illustrations complement this edition, with big numbers (one through nine, and nine through one) boldly placed on the corner of each page. The well-loved Sandra Boynton wrote this tribute to silliness in 1977, inspiring generations of the very young to learn to count. In clusters of nine, eight, seven, six, and so on, the hippos depart, finally leaving the one hippo "alone once more, the other forty-four." Before the night is through, a houseful of hippos (and one beast) has joined the one hippo for a boisterous bash. Soon three more hippos are at the door, bringing along another four. until the one calls two other hippos on the phone. ![]() ![]() But their analytical sessions have an unexpected effect John's over-the-top romanticism and appealing (if wildly improbable) tales of sexual conquest affect his would-be healer more than himself.
