What Your Favorite Dallas Author Is Reading Now

I’ve finished two books since last week and I’m halfway through a third. There’s a good chance I will finish all the unread books in my house before this [waves arms everywhere] is all over. I’m sure you’ve been reading more than usual lately, or you’re about to, or you really should consider starting to do so. Books are perhaps the most foolproof way to escape right now. Reality is too close no matter where you go on your phone or computer, and even scrolling through Netflix’s menu you’re likely to stumble upon Outbreak or something similar. Books are just the words on the page and the world you create with them. They are safe. But where to start? Here are some recommendations.
