Like Hillary, I've also ordered Tootoosis' book, and I'm happy to pass it
around the group when we decide to read it!
Since we have two main suggestions for January's read, I've made a poll to help
us decide. Please share your preference here:

Don't worry about using your real name - it's not necessary to know who wants
to read what - Just trying to determine what to read when...
Thanks!

As soon as the suggestion was made I bought the awakening. It just arrived and
I would be happy to share my copy if we decide to read it. It is only 75 pages
and double spaced - so if we were good at passing it along I think we could all
read the same copy in a month.
I remain,

I am fine with either book!
Altho I must say that the Erotic stories for Punjabi Widows does sound quite
spicy and warming for chilly days like these!

Hello again everyone!
I checked with our collections department about ordering the Tala Tootoosis
book and unfortunately because it is self-published, it will be
difficult/impossible for us to source through our vendors. So it is unlikely
that we will be able to add it to the library collection.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I have heard good things about both Three
Women and Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows.

Hello all,
New to the group and looking forward to meeting everyone. Yes to January and
I'll second the Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32075853-erotic-stories-for-punjabi-widows?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=PijmgQpb0v&rank=1
if the Tootoosis title is deferred. I would love to read either one.

Good morning radical feminists!
I'm imagining that December is a busy month for most of us - do we want to wait
until January for our next meetup?
I also have a reading suggestion...
'The Awakening of the Kokum Spirit in a Young
Woman<https://www.eaglespeaker.com/the-awakening>' by Tala Tootoosis
It's a tricky one, in that I can't find copies of it available at the library -
but it's available on Amazon, and I'm happy to buy a copy and pass it around.
Here is some media coverage on the book:
