mon premier audiobook en français ! et oui, je l’ai compris ! j’avais écouté Kukum en anglais l’année dernière, et je pense que ça a aidé avec mon compréhension de ce livre. J’aime l’histoire de la famille Innu de Michel Jean.

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

I love some of these characters so much, and can’t stand some of these characters just as much. Fredrik Backman writes the best character studies (even when a lot is going on, his books are still character studies) and make you feel like you know these people, even if they exist in a fictional town in a forest in a country thousands of miles away.
…also, benji is baby girl.

After a nice long character introduction (très Fredrik Backman), this story rips you up and infuriates you. All my love to all the girls.

An excellent introduction to Texas history and race relations, particularly focusing on white and Black texans. Gordon-Reed connects her & her family’s experiences to that of Texas to illustrate the history, and does it very well.

A quick read about a teenage Aboriginal boy trying to find his way and understand his sexuality with his first love 🫶🏼 It is very sweet, but not overdone or unrealistic.
