Twelve Reads of Christmas Reading Challenge - hosted by kingrosereads

Pass the Cranberry Sauce
Kill the Turkey: Oh did you think this was going to be a Thanksgiving themed reading prompt? Well no. I’ve dedicated this prompt to Indigenous authors. If you want to complete this prompt, you will need to choose a book written by an Indigenous author (the genre doesn’t matter). Since it sounds like a Thanksgiving theme, let’s make it a book by a North/South American Indigenous author.
