This week’s top ten is a closer look at some of the Native authors I have been reading or have on my TBR pile. Diversifying my reading list was a huge priority for me last year and will be going forward in my reading adventures, and reading authors indigenous to the area I live in and the rest of my country -and beyond- is super interesting. I was especially impressed with Liz Howard’s poetry, and Thomas King is an exceptional writer (The Inconvenient Indian is an incredible book). Lots of great books here!
