Colleen's 50 State Challenge

[Colleen]

I am kind of curious to see how long it takes me to complete this challenge, since I tend to read whatever grabs my fancy and a theme or location can lead me to collect several books with something in common like setting. A few of these will be easy based on my TBR pile as it currently stands, and I will start from my current reads and move forward. David Baldacci's Zero Hour appears to have a primary setting in WV, so that will knock a more difficult one off the list.

Last year Wyoming and I had a long affair across 3 or 4 series.

Craig Johnson, Margaret Coel, CJ Box. I know there is another but I am drawing a blank.

Oooh! You made me think I had a Colorado since I just finished a Margaret Coel only to discover I already had one in The Doberman Wore Black.

PS Idaho, is another good one I came across last year. Ridley Pearson has a series about a sheriff of the resort town in Idaho where the celebs are flocking now. is the first. I hope he does another one since I've read the first 4 and I already enjoy the series.

Sorry, but I have to put a comment in these unused topics as far as I can figure out to remove them from my unread topics listing on my app. Have managed to delete them on the website but they are still unread from the app point of view. Sorry for being such a pain but no other help forthcoming in terms of getting rid of them. Katherine
