Read: Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer (Kelly Jones, Katie Kath): An epistolary middle-grade story of a girl who ends up living on a farm surrounded by white people, and her very unusual chickens.

Read: The Never-Tilting World (Rin Chupeco): Post-apocalyptic fantasy based on the myth of Innana and maybe A:tLA. First of at least a duology, because so much is not resolved by the end.

Words: check.
