We're almost into the second half of the year, so I thought I'd shared three books I've got my eye on for the third quarter of 2021. Are they are on your TBR list?

Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson Out on 6 July 2021 from Scholastic Press

Three days. Two girls. One life-changing music festival.

Olivia is an expert at falling in love . . . and at being dumped. But after the fallout from her last breakup has left her an outcast at school and at home, she’s determined to turn over a new leaf. A crush-free weekend at Farmland Music and Arts Festival with her best friend is just what she needs to get her mind off the senior year that awaits her.

Toni is one week away from starting college, and it’s the last place she wants to be. Unsure about who she wants to become and still reeling in the wake of the loss of her musician-turned-roadie father, she’s heading back to the music festival that changed his life in hopes that following in his footsteps will help her find her own way forward.

When the two arrive at Farmland, the last thing they expect is to realize that they’ll need to join forces in order to get what they’re searching for out of the weekend. As they work together, the festival becomes so much more complicated than they bargained for, and Olivia and Toni will find that they need each other, and music, more than they ever could have imagined.

Packed with irresistible romance and irrepressible heart, bestselling author Leah Johnson delivers a stunning and cinematic story about grief, love, and the remarkable power of music to heal and connect us all.

A Snake Falls To Earth by Darcie Little Badger Out 17 August 2021 from Levine Querido

Nina is a Lipan girl in our world. She's always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories.

Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters. Like all cottonmouths, he's been cast from home. He's found a new one on the banks of the bottomless lake.

Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli's best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven't been in centuries.

And there are some who will kill to keep them apart.

Darcie Little Badger introduced herself to the world with Elatsoe. In A Snake Falls to Earth, she draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave another unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family. It is not to be missed.

Iron Widow (Iron Widow #1) by Xiran Jay Zhao Out 21 September 2021 from Penguin Teen

The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.

When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected—she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.​

To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia​. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way—and stop more girls from being sacrificed.

40th Folk Festival spotlights rich, diverse culture of Louisiana

By Dr. Shane Rasmussen

 NATCHITOCHES – The audience at the 40th annual Natchitoches-Northwestern State University Folk Festival held on July 26-27 was entertained and educated about the rich and diverse cultural offerings of the state. The Festival featured traditional Louisiana foods, Kidfest activities, music, traditional crafts, narrative sessions, musical informances, and cultural exhibits. This year’s Festival theme “Vive la Louisiane!” was a great success, with a very happy audience.

 The Festival opened with a rousing dance, beginning with Cajun dance lessons, followed by Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue, and the night closed out with Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band. Side stage performances included Natchitoches gospel group Joyful Sounds, 50 Man Machine, which includes NSU faculty Paul Forsyth, Collier Hyams, and Oliver Molina, and an open jam with Max & Marcy, Ed Huey, and Cane Mutiny.

 Saturday’s events included performances in Prather Coliseum by 50 Man Machine, Creole la la with Goldman Thibodeaux and the Lawtell Playboys, the Louisiane Vintage Dancers, Brandy Roberts, the Rayo Brothers, Tab Benoit, Jamie Berzas & the Cajun Tradition Band, the Stewart Family and Friends Bluegrass Band, line dance lessons by the Cajun French Music Association Dance Troupe, the Canneci N’de Band of Lipan Apache, zydeco dance lessons by Avila Kahey, Wayne & Same Ol’ 2 Step, Hardrick Rivers and the Rivers Revue Band, Celtic Music with the Kitchen Session of Baton Rouge and a jam session with Max and Marcy.

Most Affordable Cities to Buy a Home in 2019

Homes are a big investment – there’s no doubt about it. But that doesn’t mean they’re not more affordable in some areas than in others. If you’re looking to buy a home in 2019, which markets might provide the most bang for your buck?

We looked at data from the National Association of REALTORS® for the third quarter of 2018, the most recent quarter for which information was available. What follows is a noncomprehensive list of America’s most affordable metro areas. We tried to pick a couple from each region of the country in order to get a good mix, but we invite you to check out the list yourself to see if there’s a place we missed where you might be interested in moving.

Midwest

Although they’ve been going up, home values in the Midwest have risen more slowly than in many areas in the rest of the country, so the top of this list is dotted with Midwestern cities. Let’s run through a couple of them.

Youngstown, Ohio Area

Home value in Q3 2018: $97,600

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 9.8%

Located roughly halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Youngstown is home to 4,400 acres of Metropark land that encompasses everything from hiking and bike trails to golf courses. It also has a couple of performing arts centers and sports franchises, courtesy of the local minor league baseball team and the Youngstown State Penguins, who participate in Division I NCAA men’s basketball.

Waterloo and Cedar Falls, Iowa

Home value in Q3 2018: $132,900

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 1.8%

Cedar Falls and Waterloo are in the heartland of farm country, and one of the unique traditions there is barn quilting. Residents put their needle and thread to work to devise the most imaginative patterns.

The area is also home to the John Deere Tractor and Engine Museum, and you can take a tour of the assembly plant. There are lots of farms in the region that not only offer their wares, but provide classes as well, so you can learn a little bit about the trade.

South

The South is the nation’s biggest housing region. Let’s take a look at a couple of more affordable spots.

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Home value in Q3 2018: $141,000

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5%

Fayetteville is the home of the Fort Bragg U.S. Army base, so there’s plenty of cool military history and sites to check out in the area, including the 82nd U.S. Airborne Division War Memorial Museum.

Another interesting factoid about Fayetteville: George Herman Ruth hit his first professional home run there, and they say it’s where he got his “Babe” nickname.

Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi

Home value in Q3 2018: $145,200

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.5%

This is right on the Gulf of Mexico, so there’s plenty of sand, surf and fish to be had, if that’s your thing.

If you’re a fan of the blues, this is one of the primary locales where the genre got its start. Along the Mississippi Blues Trail, there are several historic landmarks commemorating various sites and events that were instrumental in the formation of the music.

Northeast

Homes in the Northeast tend to be on the upper end of budgets. Many of these areas are built up, and there’s limited inventory available, but bargains are sometimes possible.

Rochester, New York

Home value in Q3 2018: $153,400

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.3%

Rochester hosts the annual “Fringe Festival,” where groups and performers who might not otherwise get their work seen or heard have a chance to display their talents. This is just one of 140 festivals going on in the area over the course of the year.

If you’ve got a green thumb or just like flowers, Rochester calls itself the Flower City and has an array of great botanical gardens.

Reading, Pennsylvania

Home value in Q3 2018: $175,700

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 0.7%

Reading is home to the Blue Marsh Lake National Recreation Area, where residents and visitors alike can take advantage of 1,147 acres of water for fishing and boating as well as hiking trails, a beach and horseback riding.

Another fun trivia fact to impress your friends: The Reading Railroad from Monopoly was operated by the Reading Company until it was sold in 1976.

West

There were around 180 metropolitan areas in the third-quarter 2018 affordability study run by the National Association of REALTORS. Property values have gone up the fastest in the West, whether that’s because of good weather or Silicon Valley. That said, some locations are still cheaper than others.

Farmington, New Mexico

Home value in Q3 2018: $184,300

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.9%

Farmington is situated at the epicenter of what’s known as the “Four Corners,” home to several tribes of Native Americans: the Navajo, Jicarilla-Apache, Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Hopi. Much of the area is steeped in this culture.

The terrain lends itself to numerous outdoor activities, like hiking, off-roading and Geocaching – an outdoor scavenger hunt with GPS.

Tucson, Arizona

Home value in Q3 2018: $223,800

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 6.6%

I’ve always thought cacti were pretty cool looking; I just wouldn’t get too close. Tucson is home to Saguaro National Parks East and West. There’s also some excellent cave exploration in the area.

If you want to keep your feet on the ground but look to the stars, the Kitt Peak National Observatory is another go-to destination. It boasts one of the largest collections of optical and radio telescopes in the world.

We hope you’ve learned a little more about some of the country’s most affordable cities for housing in 2019. If you think you’re ready to buy, you can get started online or give one of our Home Loan Experts a call at (800) 785-4788.

Homes are a big investment – there’s no doubt about it. But that doesn’t mean they’re not more affordable in some areas than in others. If you’re looking to buy a home in 2019, which markets might provide the most bang for your buck?

We looked at data from the National Association of REALTORS® for the third quarter of 2018, the most recent quarter for which information was available. What follows is a noncomprehensive list of America’s most affordable metro areas. We tried to pick a couple from each region of the country in order to get a good mix, but we invite you to check out the list yourself to see if there’s a place we missed where you might be interested in moving.

Midwest

Although they’ve been going up, home values in the Midwest have risen more slowly than in many areas in the rest of the country, so the top of this list is dotted with Midwestern cities. Let’s run through a couple of them.

Youngstown, Ohio Area

Home value in Q3 2018: $97,600

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 9.8%

Located roughly halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Youngstown is home to 4,400 acres of Metropark land that encompasses everything from hiking and bike trails to golf courses. It also has a couple of performing arts centers and sports franchises, courtesy of the local minor league baseball team and the Youngstown State Penguins, who participate in Division I NCAA men’s basketball.

Waterloo and Cedar Falls, Iowa

Home value in Q3 2018: $132,900

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 1.8%

Cedar Falls and Waterloo are in the heartland of farm country, and one of the unique traditions there is barn quilting. Residents put their needle and thread to work to devise the most imaginative patterns.

The area is also home to the John Deere Tractor and Engine Museum, and you can take a tour of the assembly plant. There are lots of farms in the region that not only offer their wares, but provide classes as well, so you can learn a little bit about the trade.

South

The South is the nation’s biggest housing region. Let’s take a look at a couple of more affordable spots.

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Home value in Q3 2018: $141,000

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5%

Fayetteville is the home of the Fort Bragg U.S. Army base, so there’s plenty of cool military history and sites to check out in the area, including the 82nd U.S. Airborne Division War Memorial Museum.

Another interesting factoid about Fayetteville: George Herman Ruth hit his first professional home run there, and they say it’s where he got his “Babe” nickname.

Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi

Home value in Q3 2018: $145,200

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.5%

This is right on the Gulf of Mexico, so there’s plenty of sand, surf and fish to be had, if that’s your thing.

If you’re a fan of the blues, this is one of the primary locales where the genre got its start. Along the Mississippi Blues Trail, there are several historic landmarks commemorating various sites and events that were instrumental in the formation of the music.

Northeast

Homes in the Northeast tend to be on the upper end of budgets. Many of these areas are built up, and there’s limited inventory available, but bargains are sometimes possible.

Rochester, New York

Home value in Q3 2018: $153,400

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.3%

Rochester hosts the annual “Fringe Festival,” where groups and performers who might not otherwise get their work seen or heard have a chance to display their talents. This is just one of 140 festivals going on in the area over the course of the year.

If you’ve got a green thumb or just like flowers, Rochester calls itself the Flower City and has an array of great botanical gardens.

Reading, Pennsylvania

Home value in Q3 2018: $175,700

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 0.7%

Reading is home to the Blue Marsh Lake National Recreation Area, where residents and visitors alike can take advantage of 1,147 acres of water for fishing and boating as well as hiking trails, a beach and horseback riding.

Another fun trivia fact to impress your friends: The Reading Railroad from Monopoly was operated by the Reading Company until it was sold in 1976.

West

There were around 180 metropolitan areas in the third-quarter 2018 affordability study run by the National Association of REALTORS. Property values have gone up the fastest in the West, whether that’s because of good weather or Silicon Valley. That said, some locations are still cheaper than others.

Farmington, New Mexico

Home value in Q3 2018: $184,300

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 5.9%

Farmington is situated at the epicenter of what’s known as the “Four Corners,” home to several tribes of Native Americans: the Navajo, Jicarilla-Apache, Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Hopi. Much of the area is steeped in this culture.

The terrain lends itself to numerous outdoor activities, like hiking, off-roading and Geocaching – an outdoor scavenger hunt with GPS.

Tucson, Arizona

Home value in Q3 2018: $223,800

Home Value Year-Over-Year Increase: 6.6%

I’ve always thought cacti were pretty cool looking; I just wouldn’t get too close. Tucson is home to Saguaro National Parks East and West. There’s also some excellent cave exploration in the area.

If you want to keep your feet on the ground but look to the stars, the Kitt Peak National Observatory is another go-to destination. It boasts one of the largest collections of optical and radio telescopes in the world.

We hope you’ve learned a little more about some of the country’s most affordable cities for housing in 2019. If you think you’re ready to buy, you can get started online or give one of our Home Loan Experts a call at (800) 785-4788.
