Hooked on Books discussion

Lets face it if money was not an object who wouldn't want to travel and hit all 50 states in a year. I would love for you all to join me on this epic road trip adventure. The challenge will run all year and it will be self paced.

Rules: You can choose your own books or choose from the list I provide. You can go in any order you like but just need to complete 50 book/states in the year. I will provide a list of a couple books for each state in case you dont feel like doing research. You will earn points for each book you complete(5 points). You can earn bonus points if the book is over 500 pages(1 point). Another way to earn bonus points is when all the states are finished and you read additional books for the states(2 points). All standard rules apply.

Points:
5 Point for each book
2 Points for additional books
1 Point for 500+ pages

Challenge runs Jan 1-Dec 31
