My favourite Canadian Indigenous Books

Today, on Truth and Reconciliation Day, I'm reflecting on stories that have expanded my understanding and challenged me to listen more deeply. 📚 🧡

These books by Indigenous Canadian authors have stayed with me. #HelloLemon8 #books 🫶🏼 #bookishvibes

A person holds a stack of books in front of a bookshelf, with the text overlay "Books I'll never Shut Up about," indicating a list of favorite reads.
A hand holds V.E. Schwab's "A Darker Shade of Magic," described as adult fantasy with amazing witty banter, elemental magic, and palatable political intrigue.
A hand holds N.K. Jemisin's "The Fifth Season," characterized as dystopian sci-fi fantasy featuring a revengeful mother and unique Earth-based magic.
I could talk about these books forever ❤️
This list will continue to grow but these are some STAPLES in my reading history! Such incredible storytelling from beginning to end, and the characters from these books continue to stick with me everyday. What are your all time fav reads? #lemon8bookclub #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challeng

A dark, overgrown urban scene with a partially visible building, serving as a backdrop for the text: 'dystopian books that reflect our current times and where we're headed.'
The book cover for 'The Blue, Beautiful World' by Karen Lord, featuring an intricate blue and gold eye-like design, is displayed over a desolate road. The text describes it as a political and climate-based dystopia.
The book cover for 'The Memory Police' by Yoko Ogawa, showing a fragmented face in blue and red, is presented over a desolate road. The text describes it as a surreal dystopia of erased memories and identity loss.
dystopian books that feel way too real
If you want dystopian books that feel less like fiction and more like a warning, these reads by women and POC are ✨it✨ From My Name is Iris where immigrants get color-coded ID bands, to Parable of the Sower’s scarily accurate climate collapse, these books hit way too close to home. Think government

Horror Books I Recommend
Just some of my favorite horror book reads. 1. The Troop; The novel follows a troop of Boy Scouts who must deal with not only the threats posed by killer tapeworms, but also the homicidal and sociopathic tendencies of one of their own. 2. Tender is the Flesh: portrays a society in which a vir

if you haven’t picked up any Stephen Graham Jones before, you are in for a treat! his books are all very stylized and it may take you a bit to lean in, but once you do it’s impossible to look away. the buffalo hunter hunter is gruesome, scary, and gripping. the characters and historical writing
