Books by Indigenous authors
That said, I am here to fill your daily scroll with book recommendations that support Indigenous voices. And don't forget, we should be reading Indigenous authors all year round.Let’s get to it!1. If you’re looking for non-fiction, try reading “Braiding Sweet Grass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book is a mythic, scientific, and sacred journey exploring the interrelationships of all living beings. As someone who loves to read about nature, this is at the top of my TBR for this month. 2. If you’re looking for romance, try reading “Heartbeat Braves” by Pamela Sanderson. If you like the forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers tropes, then you’ll probably like this book! Rayanne Larson is not happy when her special project is handed over to her leader’s nephew. The thing is, neither is the nephew in question. Henry Grant has no interest in working at the Indian Center… until he meets Rayanne.3. If you’re looking for fantasy, try reading “Funeral Songs for Dying Girls” by Cherie Dimaline. In this book, the FMC, Winifred, befriends a ghost and starts rumors of a haunted cemetery to save her father’s job. It’s a story of grief, belonging, and love. This is another queer title that’s perfect to read to support Indigenous and queer voices.4. If you’re looking for a mystery/thriller/horror, try reading “Never Whistle at Night” by Shane Hawk & Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.5. If you’re looking for something short, but impactful (that also raises queer/two-spirited voices!), try reading “Love After the End” by Joshua Whitehead. This is an anthology of queer, Indigenous speculative fiction that I recommend to everyone who asks for shorter book recommendations. I read it last year and still think about it on a regular basis. I’ve curated a list filled with various genres of books written by Indigenous authors that you should absolutely read this month, and throughout the year in general. I’d love to know which books by Indigenous authors you would recommend!type: embedded-entry-inline id: 4EBzVXFyP9gJ5WOBpWRdfHKeep reading on Fable
