Carol Neman | 469 comments Anna, I just noticed the name of your thread (one for each state, +DC) and wonder if that means an author for all 50+ states, or location? What's the common thread here?

Hi Carol--I'm reading an author from each state (and DC). If I have time, though, I might redo some of them if I find an author who is more associated with the state (as many people don't live in the states they were born in). Or, maybe in the future, I'll do a challenge where the book takes place in the state instead of focusing on the author.

My first post has the list of the 50 states and which book I read for each. It's based on where the author is from though, not what state the book takes place in.
