You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new. I'm your

host, Danica Ellis. This is episode number 471.5, and today I'm going to talk about a couple of queer indigenous books I've read recently and absolutely love.

So lately I have been trying to incorporate more indigenous authors into my reading. I feel like that is

important as a settler on indigenous land. I also volunteer for my local friendship center. They have a

library there and I volunteer there when I can so I want to find more books to recommend from the library so that's another reason but

probably the biggest reason is just always

that some of my favorite books of all time are indigenous books and I just always

discover new things and find new favorite authors when I prioritize indigenous books.

So I wanted to share a couple with you that I discovered recently.

These also are both queer and they're also fairly local to me,

they're at least from the same coast as me, which is something that I like to prioritize. I'm always

looking for more local indigenous authors. So if you're on the west coast of North America, you can take that as a sign to bump these

up on your TBR as well. But honestly, they're just great reads for anyone for any reason.

Before I jump into those though I want to talk about TBR so this is a great opportunity to have your most bookish summer yet with personalized reading

recommendations from tailored book recommendations. Our bibliography, aka professional book nerds, are standing by to help you find your next

I am always in awe of just how skilled the bibliologists are at finding the absolute best books

according to how you fill out the survey, what you're looking for, what you love,

what you don't like. So you should really give it a try. You can get your
