if you like horror novels, i recommend My Heart is a Chainsaw. it's a slasher horror novel by a native author! the protagonist is a native girl who's obsessed with slasher movies and kinda wants one to happen in her home town, and then people start dying around her home town! i really recommend it, the characters are so great and the protagonist is a good representation of troubled teenagers.
I haven't really read any horror novels before but it sounds good and I will be adding it to my reading list :) Thanks for the recommendation, especially for a book by a native american author, I really don't see enough of them!

The Truth According to Ember ended up on my reading list because of social media. When the ARC was released author and reviewer folks who I follow were promoting it because they liked what they were reading, but also it is a rarely seen romance by and about Native people published by a mainstream publishing house (in this case, Berkley). While I didn’t receive an ARC, I was interested enough to…
A few nights ago I had a dream where I was talking to my dad and telling him I couldn’t breathe. I needed to wake up. I started to hyperventilate and woke up in a cold sweat. I feel like that’s the closest I can describe what Bad Cree made me feel. It’s one of those books that by the end has crawled under your skin and you’re sitting there wondering how to explain to someone why they need to read this book immediately. Johns discusses culture, grief, and family and how they never really leave you no matter how far you try and run away from them.
Harjo is known for her forceful, intimate style that draws upon the natural and spiritual world
“Joy Harjo, the first Native American to be named U.S. poet laureate, has been ready for a long time.
“I’ve been an unofficial poetry ambassador — on the road for poetry for years,” the 68-year-old Harjo wrote in a recent email to The Associated Press. “I’ve often been the only poet or Native poet-person that many have seen/met/heard. I’ve introduced many poetry audiences to Native poetry and audiences not expecting poetry to be poetry.”
Her appointment was announced Wednesday by Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who said in a statement that Harjo helped tell an “American story” of traditions both lost and maintained, of “reckoning and myth-making.” Harjo’s term is for one year and she succeeds Tracy K. Smith, who served two terms. The position is officially called “Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry,” with a $35,000 stipend. Harjo will have few specific responsibilities, but other laureates have launched initiatives, most recently Smith’s tour of rural communities around the country.
“I don’t have a defined project right now, but I want to bring the contribution of poetry of the tribal nations to the forefront and include it in the discussion of poetry,” says Harjo, an enrolled member of the Muscogee Creek Nation and a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma. “This country is in need of deep healing. We’re in a transformational moment in national history and earth history, so whichever way we move is going to absolutely define us.”

In regards to the last submission, it is very important to read Native authors. My absolute favorite is Leslie Marmon Silko, a Laguna Pueblo author. Try out her books Ceremony and Almanac of the Dead.
However, besides Leslie Marmon Silko, I haven’t read many Native authors :\ I would like to change that! Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you want to read more about the US, I think it’s important to also read something from a Native author. Joseph Medicine Crow wrote two very important books on Native life via his own memoirs, which include stories from his grandparents who were alive and old enough to remember watching Little Big Horn unfold. I’d suggest both “Memoirs of a White Crow Indian” and “Counting Coup: Becoming a Crow Chief on the Reservation and Beyond”.Â
