[Jenny (Reading Envy)]

I finished an audio book so I still have my eyes in Florida, but my ears are in Indiana with a lighter YA read, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. If a cancer book can be light. This book ended up on the 2013 Tournament of Books do I wanted to read it regardless!

[Suzanne]

In in Ohio (and the Philippines and Washington DC) with Nellie Taft. It's full of lots of interesting information, but written in the traditional history book style, so it's a bit of a slow read (aka slog) for me.

[Lesley]

Just started the first off my list The Real Minerva set in Minnesota.

[Teresa]

Reading Dare Mevery dsyfunctional book but does anyone know which state it is set in

[Jenny (Reading Envy)]

I picked up Arcadia by Lauren Groff since it is on the Tournament of Books list, and discovered it takes place in upstate New York on a hippie commune. I have two other books set in NY, but everything counts!

Did you like it? I listened to it last year on audio while I was in Maine.

[Jenny (Reading Envy)]

Taking a brief side trip to Kansas with the poet Ben Lerner, to read his book of poems -mThe Lichtenberg Figures

[Lesley]

Beth, I really did like Tinkers. It was a fairly quick read but quite moving I thought. I always try to read something 'local' while I travel too.
