Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly topic hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week she provides a topic, and you are free to use that topic and/or variations of that topic to make your top ten list. A full list of the weekly themes can be found here. This Tuesday’s topic is a freebie on Thanksgiving or being Thankful. Instead I’m featuring books by Indigenous authors that I’ve either read or want to read.
Harvest House by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
A Broken Blade by Melissa Blair
I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
Sisters of the Lost Nation by Nick Medina
Never Whistle at Night edited by Shane Hawk & Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.
Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina
The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava
Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange
All I See is Violence by Angie Elita Newell
Have you read any of these books? What other books by Indigenous authors should I read?
I hope they’re all great reads!
Rebecca Roanhorse and Stephen Graham Jones are a couple of my favorites!
I’m excited to read them!
Great topic! I haven’t read any of these. I like Angeline Boulley’s books, but those are the only ones I can think of that fit your topic. Yikes!
Happy TTT!

Angeline Boulley is amazing! Love her books too!
I just finished There There by Tommy Orange. We always try to read a book to observe Native American Heritage Month in November. I want to read Wandering Stars, too.
I haven’t read any of these yet. I do have Roanhorse’s Trail of Lightning on my TBR, as well as To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose , Elatsoe by Darcy Little Badger, Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley, and Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass and The Serviceberry.
I hope you enjoy them!
I still need to read Wandering Stars. I loved There There.
I hope you enjoy it!
Great list! Harvest House looks amazing 🙂
