Well, Wisconsin has its share of action, doesn't it? I tell you Loving Frank knocked the wind out of me and my book club.
Ahh Wisconsin. Best state in the Union ;)
Sandy - Me too! I read Loving Frank for my book club too and then I visited Taliesin later that year and couldn't stop thinking about the book.
Jennifer - Sounds like you're a fellow Midwesterner!
Just came across this series -- I live in Wisconsin, and I'm happy to see these books featured! I haven't read any of them, but there are a few others I own that are not on this list. Also, Fireside Books is one of my favorite bookstores; I go there at least once a month.
Elisabeth - That's awesome! I love discovering new books about each state through this series.
