2025 Summer Read

Well, that was a first. I just finished reading a notorious classic that was signed and handed to me by someone that’s featured within its pages. (Seriously.) This is Jenny Inzerillo for the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club, sharing my submission for the Summer Reading List.

For High Plains Public Radio Readers Book Club, I'm Shane Timson and Colby, Kansas. Today we're talking about the book May Day over Kansas: The Worst Military Aviation Disaster in Kansas History written by D.W. Carter. This book is phenomenal.

This is Jennifer Kassebaum, owner of Flint Hills Books in Council Grove Kansas, for High Plains Public Radio Reader’s Summer Book Club Reading List. Recently I had the privilege of hosting a book launch for poet Tim Keane for his recent poetry collection titled A GATHERING OF KESTRELS.

Hi, I’m Marjory Hall from Goodwell, Oklahoma with a Summer BookByte! Sometimes life gives us unexpected bonuses, like when you find a $20 bill forgotten in a pocket or when your favorite store has a buy one/get one special. For me, Olivia Hawker’s novel The Stars and Their Light was just that sort of happy surprise.

Bon jour, Radio Readers. I’m Julie A. Sellers for the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club.The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods combines magical realism with a cozy mystery in a novel that explores themes of grief, regret, progress, community, and love.

Hi, I’m Tara Shaw from Minneapolis—though I grew up in Kansas and have been a longtime HPPR listener. My summer reading recommendation is Who Is Government? by Michael Lewis—and it’s exactly the book we need right now.

For High Plains Polar Radio Readers Club, I'm Shane Timson in Colby, Kansas.Today, I'm talking about the book Dust Bowl, The Southern Plains in the 1930s by Donald Worster. This book is a fascinating read because I have studied this topic probably more than any other since moving to Kansas in 1986. 


This is Jennifer Kassebaum, owner of Flint Hills Books in Council Grove Kansas, for High Plains Public Radio Reader’s Summer Book Club Reading List. Summer reading means different things for different people, but a good book is always in season. That is why I selected SIPSWORTH by Simon Van Booy as a book to review this summer for High Plains Public Radio.

I’m Leslie Barrett and this is a Radio Readers BookByte from High Plains Public Radio. I’ve just read Dangerous Latitudes, a historical spy novel by Jack Woodville London, a historian and award-winning author from Groom, located in the Texas panhandle.

For High Plains Public Radio Readers Book Club, I'm Shane Timson in Colby, Kansas.Today we are going to discuss Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience. I chose this interesting book because we live in a world today where we disagree with the government and what it does; people take to the streets and protest, but they get violent.
