Tulsa, Oklahoma – On this edition of StudioTulsa, we visit with Nancy Pearl, a longtime librarian and author who's been sharing her book recommendations with this program --- and with NPR's Morning Edition, for that matter --- for several years now. With yet another day of super-hot temps and bright-blue sunny skies all over Northeastern Oklahoma, and with the July 4th holiday just around the corner, we figured the moment had arrived for some can't-miss Summer Reading tips. Here is Nancy's list....
