Sunday Post | The Return to Bookstagram… and almost immediate temporary ban

Happy Mother’s Day to those that are mothers, those who have mothers, and those who may have lost their mothers. Whether this day is a happy day or a tough day to get through, I hope that you will be able to get through it with the support of those around you. I know not all of us can be with our mothers today, and I know that may not be the norm for some people, so I’m hoping that no matter what happens, you can let your mother know you’re thinking of her.

Diverse or Nah | Conflicts with Identities and Culture in Firekeeper’s Daughter

Hello mersquad and other friends.

I’ve been feeling like I wanted to talk more about what I’ve read so far in Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley, most especially some of the commentary on a character’s connection – or lack thereof – to their Indigenous heritage. Being someone who is in a very similar situation, and like this character, being dismissed and ostracized for it, it hit a spot in my heart.

If you haven’t read this yet, or like me you haven’t finished it yet, don’t worry. Nothing of what I’m typing is considered a spoiler, and it takes place within the first few chapters of the novel. However, if you don’t want to be spoiled by anything in the book whatsoever, this is where you should stop reading. No hard feelings if that’s the case! I totally understand.

For anyone that does end up reading the rest of my post, thank you so much and I appreciate your support.
