Meghan, I have not had a chance to read that one yet, but I search by state for books at my library and that is what it pulled it up as. They may have put it in their system wrong, so I'm not sure. Basically I have just added books on my list based on what the library pulled by state, so I have an idea of what to check out later.

[Meghan]

Oh that's a great idea - thanks for the tip...I just read the book last week - and I had to go back and search - but they talk about the radio station reaching DC and Baltimore...so I am pretty sure Maryland...(you'd think since I just read it, I'd be more sure, but I don't think the book focused too much on local)

ps. I hope you don't think I was trying to police you...I was trying to use your list to help me compile my own list (I stole/borrowed a bunch of your books)...since I had no idea how I was going to go about finding books in each state! LOL

[Lacy♪ ♫Movements of a Demigod ♪ ♫]

I figured it would be a good idea to start a list and once I read the books I could move them around or change them out depending on availability and where they really fit the best.
