[♏ Gina☽ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave this book 5 stars because I absolutely loved slowly thumbing through the book, enjoying each and every photograph.

If you remember the "Days in the Life of" books, this is along the same lines. This book is part of the America 24/7 project, in which 25,000 photographers from each of the 50 states participated. As I live in Wisconsin, this was my first pick, but I plan on reading each and every one of them.

Grab a cup of coffee, hot chocolate or whatever soothes your soul, and sit back and enjoy the trip through Wisconsin.
