I've been working on this perpetual challenge for several years now. I seem to be stuck. I could use recommendations for the remaining states, if anyone has suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI've thought about doing this challenge. Sorry I don't have any suggestions.

I think Rolvaag's "Giants in the Earth" would work for South Dakota.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just thought of one for Wyoming! An Unfinished Life by Mark Spragg. Excellent book!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this challenge, by order of State. so my 1st is Delaware, and I see you don't have a title. you could try this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7701730-flesh-and-grass
ReplyDeleteI contacted the author thru Goodreads, and she sent it to me as a free ebook! You could give it a try. I have not yet started it
Wow. This is very helpful! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a blast. I am definitely hopping over to check this one out. Thanks for the heads up. I look forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteFor Tennesse, "A Summons to Memphis" won the Pulitzer Prize. Or for something a little more brain candy, "The Firm" by John Grisham was set in Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteFor Rhode Island, "The Witches of Eastwick" by John Updike was set in Eastwick, Rhode Island.
Love Medecine is set in North Dakota on the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation.
This looks like fun. HOpe you've enjoyed visiting all the states.
