How did I miss this one? I am itching to join, but need to stop myself. Hmm. Maybe I'll just think about it. I'd be happy to send you a book that takes place in Ohio. We Buckeyes need to be represented!

This sounds like a fun challenge. I'll have to make note of it and see where my reading takes me!!

I know Michener wrote a book titled Hawaii, but it's a big one. Like I think over 1000 pages. I would like to read that myself. Good luck!

If you are looking for an interesting read set in Maine, I recently read Olive Kitteridge.
