It’s nearly that time again — Top Ten time, that is. Time to reflect on the literary year past as we consider which Texas books to wrap up as gifts for our best bookish friends and family.
Watch our first issue of December next Sunday for Texas fiction titles, followed Dec. 10 by our nonfiction list.
As always, the team at Lone Star Literary Life hopes you’ll agree with us that Texas is in many ways its own nation of books — great titles in every genre, great authors, great bookstores and publishers worth supporting.
