Loveland Loves to Read Announces 2019 Authors

This year’s event presents a thematic approach to “Water in the West: A Conversation,” featuring two authors, with two books, and a supplementary reading list.

Authors Paolo Bacigalupi (The Water Knife) and Patty Limerick (A Ditch in Time: The City, the West and Water) will have a conversation moderated by Brian Werner (Northern Colorado Water Conservation District) on the evening of Tuesday, September 24, at Thompson Valley High School. Tickets will be available in mid-May.

The Water Knife is fiction, A Ditch in Time is non-fiction. Read one, or read both! They offer distinct views of Water in the West, which will enhance our understanding of the issues and inspire stimulating conversation.
