Reading Across America- A Book From Every State

I decided to see how long it would take for me to read a book from every state. The answer was longer than it should have. At first, I just read what I wanted and kept track of it when I got to a new state. Then I lost my list and to recreate it from memory. I know a few books were left off. I think I had Four for Illinois and Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes for Colorado (It is possible the Capitol is in the Rockies- likely Denver.) I think I also had The Godfather on there for New York or Nevada. Some states are written about more frequently so I had to make an effort to find books from the Dakotas and Wyoming. Enjoy!
