Almost lost my reading streak on @thestorygraph.com this weekend. Thankfully my daughter likes to read books while potty training, so I was able to sneak in a couple read throughs of her current favorite picture books.

We were also luck enough to hear traditional oral storytelling from Dene and Cree elders from the community. Our daughter in particular loved hearing about how the weasel got his winter coat and why the bear sleeps all winter.

100% agree about it being under represented!
The author just built such an incredible and detailed world, I wish a little more of the focus could have been there? Not going to pretend I have any idea of how they could have done it, but thats what the rest of the series is for. 😅

This does mean however that when I went searching for my puzzle books I found 3 seperate ones that were all half finished cause I hadn't flipped to the left side yet. 😅😅😅

lol also anyone else go through their puzzle books and only do the right hand pages first and then go back through and fill our the left hand side? 😅
I find it so much easier to roll up the puzzle book the one direction rather than going back and forth.

Anyone else use word puzzles to keep their hands busy while listening to audiobooks? I can't manage a crossword, but a simple fill-in or wordsearch is the perfect level of complex that still lets me concentrate on the story.

I am definitely resonating the most with the intense feminine rage this round of listening to Iron Widow. Its nice to have something a little softer, and bookish in the form for Bookshops & Bonedust.

Shout out to my girl Jaime for this amazing custom eReader cover. I adored the previous cover she had made me but when I upgraded my Kobo this year I was gutted when it didn't fit. When she posted fabric and new I had to order a replacement.
