This summer, we’re taking a look back at some of the amazing authors we’ve been lucky to host at the Texas Book Festival by recommending their books as summer reading. Join us as we pair these books with great local places to visit as you read!

Check back here weekly as we add more titles, recommended by the TBF team, our dedicated volunteers, and friends of the Festival.
