That one sounds good Suzanne. I read A Patchwork Planet for Maryland, and wasn't greatly impressed.

#45 Maryland A Patchwork Planet read 3 Feb, 2 stars.

#44 West Virginia The Glass Castle read 31 Jan, 4 stars.

Moving on to West Virginia with The Glass Castle. Quite good.

#43 North Dakota The Badlands Saloon: An Illustrated Novel read 23 Jan, 4 stars.

Yeh, it is quite funny Suzanne, as I couldn't find the towns mentioned in North Dakota in my atlas, then I realised I was in the wrong Dakota! And I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the States for a non-American! Anyway, I ended up quite liking Deadwood and have ordered the DVD from the library, so all good!

Now I am reading The Badlands Saloon: An Illustrated Novel which is set in North Dakota (I double-checked!) and am quite enjoying it too. I also hope to read Peace Like a River someday too. I have another Leif Enger on my bookshelf, So Brave, Young and Handsome. Have you read that one, Suzanne?

#42 South Dakota Deadwood read 15 Jan, 3 stars.

I'm struggling with Deadwood for North Dakota.

#41 Washington DC Hard Choices read 19 Dec, 4 stars.

This is what still remains on my list to finish in December and into January.

Connecticut Revolutionary Road
Hawaii Molokai
New Hampshire Lost Nation
Pennsylvania American Rust
Virginia

#40 South Carolina Last Light Over Carolina read 3 Dec, 2 stars.

#39 Michigan Once Upon a River read 23 Nov, 4 stars.

#38 Rhode Island The Lowland read 16 Nov, 3 stars.

Now I'm on to The Lowland. A bit of a stretch as it's only partly set on Rhode Island...

#37 Wyoming Bird Cloud read 2 Nov, 3 stars.
