I’ve decided to join another challenge

I’ve never done any before this year, so I’m probably going overboard.  Luckily, cross-overs and re-reads are allowed, but reviews need to be written this year.

The object is to read a book set in each of the 50 states.  I’m also trying to make each book a first-read, and I’m finding that it’s pretty difficult to find books set in each state.
