"The summer is always spent with my nose in a good book. This year, I plan on immersing myself in all things New Mexico by traveling this great state and reading about it as well. Thanks to your wonderful, diverse suggestions, my 2018 summer reading list includes the following:
Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
• Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
• A Brief History of New Mexico by Myra Ellen Jenkins and Albert H. Schroeder
