Season’s Readings, fellow book lovers! Lydia saw Brazos Bookstore, one of our fave Texas indie bookstores, using that clever phrase and is totally stealing it (but citing her sources). We are all greatly looking forward to the coming holidays, especially the gift-giving part. You’ve probably heard us talk about our mission, “Inspiring Texans of all ages to love reading,” so you won’t be surprised to learn we bring that mission into other areas of life. We know there are few things more exciting than seeing a loved one dive into a book we picked out just for them, but we also know picking out the perfect read for a particular reader can feel a bit daunting.

Thus, in the spirit of inspiring Texans to love reading again and again, we offer our own book-gifting recommendations. Happy Reading, y’all!
