Nothing But Reading Challenges50 States Challenge
Duration: 6/1/14 - 6/30/17
Progress: 51 of 51
Books Read: 41
Completed: 7/17/17
I was going to read a book for each state, but I've read several books that are set in multiple states. So I am approaching this like a scavenger hunt and I decided that rather than switching books around as I needed to, I would just associate the books with multiple states. Something significant has to happen in the book associated with that state, you can't just mention the state in a conversation.
I apologize to any purists, but it is still not a trivial challenge.
