Check out the top 10, as chosen by yours truly, fall festivals in the Arklatex. I bet most people didn't even think we had ten just in the fall.

Read MoreMy sister had a day off while her kids were in school and she called me up to ask where she could go to read a book and not be bothered. That was such an amazing question that I know I’ve asked before and others must have too! So today, let’s go through the places in Shreveport-Bossier for a quiet read.

- There is no obligation
- The scenery is nice
- You’ll be able to eat if you like
- You’ll be able to get lost in your story!
