Bad Cree. From listening to NPR Weekend Edition Sunday January 15 Ayesha Rascoe segment with author Jessica Johns.
Alyssia and i talk a lot about books. We are readers. We also talk about writing, Writers. a lot. we are not writers, but we love writers. a lot. i thought to read Bad Cree because of the interview, because it is her First Book...and here she was...an interview on NPR. How fortuitous is that?! and it, its "genre" being....Horror, Native American/Indigenous Supernatural. Horror, i thought....ok. Alyssia loves fiction. I do not. and i thought...this is good. A first book, a young author, a sensitive interview about the topic of....Horror. Hmmm. When i uploaded these two pics today i had 50 pages left to go. What i thought i might say about it is not at all what i might say now that i have done what i always do with fiction...be IMMERSED in its world start to finish, even tho i strictly intend NOT to do that and with this one, thinking Horror would help me read incrementally. It did not. it took all of 24 waking hours. Start to finish i did not live here on this Hill but in the plains of Alberta Canada with a family of women and a bad spirit. it's finished. i don't know what i think. that will take some time.
waiting for me is Crazy Wisdom. more "me". and that will take some time. i read it long long ago when i was a different person in many ways. i look very forward to what i read now. Book is the same. person different.
Books. i love. books.
It's Raining right now. Heavy. beginning in the morning, the next 6 day forecast changes. Instead of 90 something or 100% chance of Rain, the percentages are 13, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1 % I am Ready for this. NEEEEED this. Am grateful for this.
