Houston for Book Lovers: Bibliophile-Friendly Spaces and Book Recommendations by exquisitEXPLORATIONS Travel Blog
Houston For Book Lovers
Every other week during the summer my mom would take my little brother and me to the library for story time and to collect the books we would read over the next two weeks. As we got older, we refrained from joining the younger kids for story time, but our bi-weekly ritual continued throughout elementary school and most of junior and high school. We participated in the annual Pizza Hut BOOK IT! challenge, each of us earning our free personal pan pizza each year.

The Sights, Sounds, and Smells of the City
As we walk down Washington Avenue headed into downtown Houston, we take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the city.

Asphalt and exhaust, freshly-baked bread and freshly-cut grass, rubber and sewage, tacos and coffee and pizza and burgers and not-so-fresh seafood all combine in one gloriously putrid smell that we both love and hate, simultaneously and equally. Somehow we cannot get enough of those smells. Each city has its own unique combination of smells, some heavier on the day-old seafood, others heavier on the fresh baked goods. But in every city we have roamed, we encounter wonderful combinations of heavenly and rancid smells.
