Use the state where most of the book takes place.

If it's equally in two places, you pick which you want to use! OK :)

I do the same challenge in the yearly challenge and have always used a state as long as some of the story is set there.

[Allison]

Thanks JoAnn!

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.
