#jonnyappleseed

Began a new read this morning, Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead.🌠 ° A story of a young indigenous two-spirited man who moves from the rez to a large city. When his stepfather dies he returns to the rez -and his former life- to attend the funeral. ° I’m only about 50-60 pages in so far, but I’m enjoying the style of writing, plus the story itself is intriguing! _________________________________

I know I’ve missed a few days of #riotgrams prompts, but I couldn’t miss a chance to rep some of these books (again.) Even if I’ve already talked about a few of these books dozens of times — like Jonny Appleseed (all the feels for NDN glitter princess and cybersex worker Jonny!), and Sanaaq (first novel written in Inuttitut!) and probably Trail of Lightning (post-apocalyptic indigenous mythological monster killing). Then there’s those I may not have said much about before — like Louise Erdrich’s literary fiction (which, I mean, Erdrich is practically an institution unto herself, if you haven’t read her yet, it’s time to rectify that), and Daniel H. Wilson (more post-apocalypse, but with robots this time), and then Heid E. Erdrich’s multimedia poetry. . . #nativeauthors #indigenousauthors #jonnyappleseed #joshuawhitehead #trailoflightning #rebeccaroanhorse #sanaaq #mitiarjuknappaaluk #heideerdrich #curatorofephemera #danielhwilson #robogenesis #louiseerdrich #tracks #lovemedicine #michiganstateuniversitypress #universityofmanitobapress #arsenalpulppress https://www.instagram.com/p/Botn9J_lxVw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5wjojy7o98uz

A fellow publisher on twitter recently asked people to share their favorite book covers. The question took over my brain. Should I consider only the front image, or the entire binding? Should the best covers also be judged as accurate representations of the contents? After spending way too long on this, I finally made a stack of four of my current favorites of those books on my shelves at this time. (Wow. I *really* hate being reatricted to a single favorite of all time.) It’s cool to include your own cover, right? 😉 . . #books #bookcoverdesign #dancingstarpress #aruinofshadows #jonnyappleseed #bluestriumphant #arsenalpulppress #yesyesbooks #penguinclassics

What I actually finished in the #readathon. I was hoping to read more like ten books, but eight was my minimum goal, so I’ll take it. My favorite was probably Jonny Appleseed (but a Country Doctor’s Notebook was a close second.) . . #books #jonnyappleseed #acountrydoctorsnotebook #joshuawhitehead #mikhailbulgakov #nickhornby #yesyesbooks #arsenalpulppress #blacksuperpowers . . #books

So... does this mean there's a tree in my grocery store? 😅👉🏽😳🌲🍎🍏 ___________________________________ #TropicalSmoothieGuy #AppleTree #Apples #LoveApples #LoveApple #OranicApple #RedApples #GreenApples #FujiApples #RedDeliciousApples #CrabApples #JonnyAppleseed #JohnnyAppleseed #LoveApples #Apple #AppleTrees #AppleChips #ApplePie #AppleMeUp (at Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada)
