Rhonda Reading the States

My Rules:
1. I will only use one book from a series.
2. Sometimes I might use the same author twice for the same state, but probably not.
3. I will use SFF if I feel as if a major goal of the book is to show something about the the history or culture of the state.
4. I added Washington, D. C.
