I am expanding this a bit - in addition to the 50 states, I will try to find out books about the territories as well.

The goal:

For the 50 States:
- At least one Fiction book fully set in the State
- At least one non-Fiction book about the State
- At least one book from an another that is associated with the State (born, living, died)

For the territories:
- At least one fiction book at least partially set there
- At least one non-fiction book that discusses the territory (articles will do if it gets to that; one book for more than one territory can work as well).

Starting on 1/1/2012. Finishing whenever it happens.
Fiction set in more than one state does not count. :) Or non-fiction.

:) No time restraints which should make it easier. Maybe :)

Very ambitious! I was planning to include a few of the territories, but you have a full list. Wow!! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Wake Island is easy - the famous battle there will carry the day. The rest might be bit harder but no fun in easy things :)

Now of course I need to stop reading British books and read an US one for a change and to open the challenge :)
