Just like the yearly 50 States Challenge but with no deadline, for those of us (me!) who just can't get around the entire United States in only a year. If you've already started on the yearly thread and want to switch to this one you can back date your list to whenever you started.

The aim of the challenge is to read one book set in each of the 50 states of the US.

RULES

*To count a book towards a challenge you must read the majority of it after the start date of the challenge.
*Each book may only be used for ONE state
*For each book that you read please post a link to the book, the author and the date you finished it.
*All genres and formats are fine.
*Re-reads are allowed.
*No page minimum.
*Please update your original post as you go but also post an occasional message to let us know how you're getting on, if you would like to.

*When you have finished please re-post your whole challenge as a new message or you will not be considered to have completed the challenge and we will not be able to award your Hall of Fame badge

Please see TLC Standard Challenge Rules for further details.

The 50 States Challenge - Open Ended

Progress: 50 out of 50

We already have a 50 States Challenge in the yearly folder (here) but I noticed that in all the time it's been running not one person has managed to complete it (as yet!), so I thought I'd start this thread for people to work on the challenge at their own pace. If you've already started on the yearly thread and want to switch to this one you can back date your list to whenever you started.

The aim of the challenge is to read one book set in each of the 50 states of the US.

Hi JoAnne, I noticed you've set your duration as one year. I've actually just started a new thread this morning for year long states challenges - 50 States Challenge 2017. This thread is for open ended challenges. Would you mind copying your new challenge over there? It just makes it easier for me to see who is doing which challenge and which badge to award for completion. Thanks :)

Good luck! I enjoy this challenge - my second year doing it - but I read them in any order and as long as part of the book takes place in a state I use it.

Welcome Kat!

If you get stuck on a state - I know some of them are hard! - look on my profile. I always put where my books are set, ever since the 1st time I did a challenge like this.
