2015 Reading Across the States Challenge

 

I saw someone last year read around the world and they picked 20 books set in different countries to read, and then I saw a pinterest post about the book that represents the state in which you live and put 2 and 2 together.  I plan to read a book set in each of the 50 states. (I have added the book I plan to read but that can change and a * indicates the book is already in my possession).

 

 

If you would like to join me in this challenge please follow these simple rules

 

~ The books in this challenge must be something you have never read before

~ You need to read at least one book set in each of the 50 states

~ The books can count for other challenges
