It's Been A Long Year

Hello Friends,

I don't know about you, but January has been the longest year of my life. If you've been waiting for a publishing announcement, well, there isn't one yet, but we are still working hard behind the scenes and doing a lot of outreach to make sure this opportunity is seen by as many Native writers are possible. I hope that I will be able to update something soon!

I did hear that the Boozhoo Books logo drafts might be ready as early as next week. If you're not a paid member yet, now might be a good time to upgrade, as paid members get all of the publishing info first!

Bookclubs have moved to Discord. Our clubs are still live on Fable, but the voting and best conversations are happening in Discord. If you are looking for a place to connect with other readers, who read diversely, that is algorithm and stress free, come join us over in the community discord: https://discord.gg/S6vwHnjfZh

Good Day To Read Indigenous Book Club: The Art Thieves by Andrea L Rogers (if you have audible, this book is included with your membership trial!). Andrea is the author of Man Made Monsters and also has also appeared in the hit anthology Never Whistle at Night.

Women in Horror Book Club: Unshod, Cackling and Naked by Tamika Thompson (if you have KU, this book is available in KU). This is an indie feminist horror collection written by an up and coming Black Author and I am super stoked to read this one!

Quiet Time Book Club: Quiet Time Book Club is happening Monday at 5pm pst/8pm est. We meet on Zoom and we read for 30 minutes and then we just chit chat about books for 30 minutes. No pressure to turn on your camera. Mine is off 80% of the time. The link to the zoom is posted in Discord. If you cannot access Discord, please leave a comment here and I will make a separate post here with the link.

Where Else To Connect: Even though we have access to Tik Tok again, I haven't felt drawn to post there. I will likely resume posting there in a couple of weeks, once work slows down, but here are some places I am more active:

(I am working on a video for February. I'm late! My favorite reads of 2024 and the Indigenous books I read in 2024. I hope to be more regular on Youtube, so follow me now for updates!)

ARE YOU ON BLUESKY? Should I start a Boozhoo Community Starter Pack? Link your Bluesky below if you are interested.

I hope you all take care of yourself this upcoming week. This year has been a lot.

Let me know what your priority reads for February are below!
