Summer Reads

Sit back and enjoy one or all of these summer reads between semesters. 



Book Lovers by Emily Henry shows what happens when a clashing literary agent and her enemy of an editor end up vacationing in the same small town. This book follows the classic enemies-to-lovers trope of many romance novels. It's the perfect romantic read for the summer. 



Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman is set in the 80s on the Italian Rivera. Seventeen-year-old Elio lives on his parent's estate when one summer a young university professor comes to stay and work on his manuscript. Over the next six weeks the two fall into a whirlwind romance that changes their lives. 



Anxious People by Fredrik Backman is based on a ridiculous plot, potential buyers at an open house are taken hostage by a fleeing bank robber. It is told from multiple points of view of the cast of characters stuck in the apartment and the policeman interrogating them after their rescue. What really happened in that apartment? And where did the robber go? 



The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid tells the story of the famous actress Evelyn Hugo from the 1950's known for her glamorous lifestyle and her seven husbands. Now the elderly retired actress has come out of seclusion and has picked a young reporter, Monique, to tell the truth about her scandalous life and the infamous marriages. As Evelyn tells more of her story, Monique begins to see where their stories collide and why she may have been specifically chosen by Evelyn.

Texas Wildflowers

This time of year wildflowers are everywhere. Of course Texas is most famous for its bluebonnets, but there are lots of varieties of wildflowers out there. Most people know that Ladybird Johnson was responsible for the Texas Wildflower Program, but not everyone knows that it continues to this day. TxDOT continues to sow wildflower seeds everywhere, beautifying the highways of Texas. Mowing is only done during this time when necessary for public safety. Great for the environment and great for the scenery! Get more information on the program , or check out the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center . To find them and see for yourself, get sighting info from Wild About Texas  Wildflower: Sightings . See some great Texas wildflower pix at Flickr .
