Chieko’s comments from the Around the USA in 52 Books group.

Started in Georgia and following the Appalachian Trail north. Now in North Carolina.

Starting in Georgia and will follow the Appalachian Trail north.

My sisters and I decided we wanted to join the reading challenge but just don't have time to read all 50 states.

We decided to follow the Appalachian Trail (14 states) and if we have time add Route 66 (eight states).

On second thought I decided to join but will probably stretch it over two years to make time for studying, knitting and gaming.

Change in plans. Due to life in general we decided not to do the entire 52 books. We will be following the Appalachian Trail (14 states). As always,this list is a work in process.
