I was just thinking it was time for a reread of the handmaids tale!

journeytomaria.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wait how do I join

rachelwight.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's super chill! Just read the book then come back to my profile on the 28th of next month. I'll post a discussion for each book so everyone can talk with book friends about it!

journeytomaria.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yessss that's exciting! Thank you for starting this

yorke-mc.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exciting! Will there be a video call or something to live discuss? Or only written discussion on BlueSky?

rachelwight.bsky.social•32 days ago

Written for now. We can look into setting up a discord in the future.

jesslovesreading.swifties.social•32 days ago

Where will the discussion be? I’ve never done a book club here!

rachelwight.bsky.social•32 days ago

On Feb 28th I'll host a post on my profile where everyone can discuss the book in the comments.

Braiding Sweetgrass is beautiful.
Kimmerer has visited a lot of our Upstate/Central New York colleges and universities. It's wonderful.

This book was a very insightful read. Well written as well.

thearthistorymadam.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's sad because it explicitly tells us just how fundamentally connected to this land they are...and we (the European Diaspora) are not...yet it must come as a slap in the face to the Indigenous that we are kicking them out as if we didn't steal it in the first place.

Thank you for setting this up.

michelleaster.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yay! I already have braiding sweet grass on hold at the library!

chrispmueller.bsky.social•32 days ago

More book recommendations! Tee hee! Excuses to buy books! So happy!

mrsscherbatsky.bsky.social•32 days ago

I already own two! Time to check the library for the others

goddesshuntress.bsky.social•31 days ago

Awe thank you. Ordering books now!

thorbee.bsky.social•32 days ago

I just wrote a paper last semester and Kimmerer was so inspiring and I used parts of “Braiding Sweetgrass”. Everyone will enjoy it!

melhofferauthor.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m reading Witchcraft for Weyward Girls now!! Great pick for a book club book! Lots to talk about!

nyanyalinlin.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yay I’m already partway through braiding sweetgrass so I was really hoping it would win!!! I want to say I’ve only read about 70-100 pages and it has already CHANGED MY LIFE and my outlook on the world. I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know!!

dogsndistractions.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you for this! Listening to Braiding Sweetgrass (because it was the one I could borrow immediately).

Already put the March books in my library cue!

rachelwight.bsky.social•32 days ago

I will make separate discussion posts on Feb 28th for each book. Participate in whatever way makes sense for you next month.

I've posted our March picks to give us time to place holds through whatever library platforms we use. We've chosen very sought after books, so it may take time to get them!
