Hello, High Plains Public Radio listeners. This is Andrea Elise coming to you from Amarillo, Texas. Have you ever read a book that considers the dilemmas and questions we encounter almost every day while, at the same time, delivers the promises of a generation?
This is Linda Allen for HPPR Summer Reads. In keeping with my background in psychology, I gravitate to relationship stories. My first read this summer was Dream State by Eric Puchner which is about relationships and so much more.
On Sunday, May 4, 2025, book leaders and contributors from the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club came together in Garden City, KS, for a two-hour, live on-air discussion of the novel, a travelogue, a memoir, and a comic blog explored with an impressive array of Radio Reader BookBytes this season.
I was somewhat filled with trepidation when we selected Humor Me! as the theme for the 2025 Spring Read. Perhaps it was a career working with troubled kids and families or maybe I am “just one of those people” but I find my personal humor somewhat dark.
Greetings from Goodwell in the Oklahoma Panhandle! I’m Marjory Hall with a BookByte for the Radio Reader’s Series. Words are important. The words we use reflect how we perceive the world and how we react to it. We can choose whether that perception is positive and accepting or negative, rejecting people and experiences without really giving them much consideration.
