I don’t know about you, but I set personal reading goals. 

Yes, my overall goal is to simply enjoy my reading life, but I do set other personal goals to help enrich my reading and my actual life, too. 

Right now, my main reading goal is to diversify my reading life: the genres I read, the formats I read them in and the authors I welcome into my TBR stack.

Today, I’m sharing three books written by indigenous authors to broaden what I read and how I think about the world. It’s just in time to celebrate National Native American Heritage Month with a picture book, middle grade novel and young adult book you’re sure to love and learn from. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon or Bookshop affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!

Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble Maillard (Amazon / Bookshop / Libro.fm)

The Barren Grounds by David Alexander Robertson (Amazon / Bookshop / Libro.fm)

Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley (Amazon / Bookshop / Libro.fm)

Now, it’s your turn. What books do you recommend written by indigenous authors that I could add to my TBR stack?
