A casual bibliography on Texas life, history, and literature - the kind of comments librarians and archivists share in the stacks.
The Bookshelf, Young Texas Reader, Blog Notes, & Texana Youtube Channel
CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO THE PARLOR's FULL LISTING. The Texas Bookshelf is for single, specific books' reviews and author interviews . The Texas Parlor ranges more broadly than my other websites. The Young Texas Reader focuses on the youngest through teenagers. Texas Blog Notes surveys blogs of historical and literary interest. I've started a Will's Texana Youtubecollecting channel where 1,000 videos are collected in 100 playlists . Find Will in Houston or at willstexana {at} yahoodotcom
We've collected a list of blogs that have some notable weight of Texana by content - mostly in historical or literary terms. As issued in August 2008 the list is about 100 titles. The annotated, illustrated list was issued as a mono-thematic August issue of the Monthly. Suggest a blog is you like. Request an email copy of the list if you like. It's now posted separately as http://texasblognotes.blogspot.com and occasionally I add new entries.

Gee, I really liked their chronology. I hear they're putting together a curriculum for younger students.
