Reading New England Challenge...

This reading challenge, hosted by The Emerald City Book Review, has several different challenge levels, from reading just one book to reading twelve. I chose to do the Six State Challenge because I thought reading a book set in each of the six New England states sounded like fun, and because I thought I could successfully complete it. And I did!

Here are the six books I read:

For Maine:  Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobsen

For New Hampshire:  Light on Snow by Anita Shreve

For Vermont:  Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

For Massachusetts:  The Wolves of Andover by Kathleen Kent

(Although I later read Nobody's Secret by Michaela MacColl,
which is also set in Massachusetts, and which I ended up liking a lot better.)

For Connecticut:  The Inheritance by Tom Savage

For Rhode Island: A Gilded Grave

I had a lot of fun completing this reading challenge. And I added several other New England books to my TBR list like Olive Kitteridge, The Secret History, Folly, It and The Boston Girl, which means I just might do this reading challenge again next year all on my own. Of the books I read this year, my two favorite were Small as an Elephant and A Gilded Grave. But I'm glad to have read all six. So thank you, Lory, for hosting this great reading challenge!

And Happy Reading!
