2015 Reading Challenge discussion

Okay, so I'm cheating a bit with this one. I read a book that takes place in Indiana (a state I used to live in and I still visit once a year). Bonus? It mentioned the town I lived in (Muncie) and the town I worked in (New Castle).

The book-- "All the Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven. Very good book (though I do not agree with the comparisons of "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Eleanor and Park" that so many reviewers mention and are just the pinnacle of great YA literature). It is a fast read (only 400 pages), set in high school, and is being made into a movie.

History of New Zealand by Michael King

I read Quakertown. It takes place in my area (not my town) and is historical fiction based on actual events that took place in the 1920's. I enjoyed the book and it does make it more interesting when you know exactly where the events occurred.

I am reading UnHoly Pictures by Thomas Maciocha. It based in my hometown of St. Petersburg Fl. So far it is a pretty interesting book.

Here is a great website that lists a book per state:

I live in PA. Lovely Bones and it takes place in my area of the state.

I'm from New Hampshire, and many of Jodi Picoult's books take place in small NH towns.

Accidentally did this one picked up a short history of tractors in Ukrainian not realising parts of it are set in Peterborough.
