Nothing makes for a perfect spring day like a hammock, an iced tea (preferably of Long Island descent) and a great paperback.
We found your next page-turner, and it’s from a young Texas writer. Anna Mitchael’s newly released book, Just Don’t Call Me Ma’am: How I Ditched the South, Forgot My Manners, and Managed to Survive My Twenties with (Most of) My Dignity Still Intact, will make you sigh and smirk the whole way through. Complete with shout-outs to Caboodles, first crushes and break-up conversations, this easy read makes it easy to relate to, or reminisce about, her twenty-something path.
Just be careful you don’t laugh so hard you fall off of your hammock. It would be a damn shame to spill that drink.
Mark your calendar to meet Anna, whose parents live in Houston, at a book reading at Brazos Bookstore on Tuesday, May 4th, at 7 p.m.
