State settings of books

The Avid Reader has a mini-challenge called State Settings, during the fourth hour of today's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon, about books relating to states.  It's a good place to find books to fit our blog's challenge.  Here were my answers, all linked to this blog:

1)  Beachcombing for a Shipwrecked God, by Joe Coomer ~ New Hampshire
2)  Forever, by Pete Hamill ~ New York
3)  A Thousand Acres, by Jane Smiley ~ Iowa

I'm back

I'll resume posting in the next few days.
