The 2020 Lariat list is here!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The goal of the Texas Library Association\u2019s <\/span><\/span>Lariat Adult Fiction Reading List<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/a>is to highlight outstanding fiction that is \u201csimply a pleasure to read.\u201d To that end, a nine-member committee of librarians from the TLA annually selects twenty-five outstanding fiction titles.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s list includes the magical and the occult (Leigh Bardugo\u2019s Ninth House<\/em>, about a freshman at Yale investigating Yale\u2019s secret societies) as well as the romantic and relatable (Linda Holmes\u2019 Evvie Drake Starts Over<\/em>, about a widowed woman consumed with guilt about not missing her late husband and her fledgling romance with a former pro baseball player.) The spine-tingling The Whisper Man<\/em>, by Alex North, is a psychological thriller, while the beautifully rendered The Beekeeper of Aleppo<\/em>, by Christy Lefteri, puts a human face on the victims of the Syrian war.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No matter what your taste in fiction runs to, there\u2019s sure to be something on the list that you\u2019ll enjoy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
