I might have gotten a little OCD and cut every single state out of a map and then taken pictures of each one pinned to a corkboard. Sometimes I get a bit too focused on projects. <br /><br />Sandy - I didn't used to pay attention to that either, but this project has made me learn so much more. I love it. <br /><br />Jeanne - He never really wrote about Alabama, but he wrote Tender is the Night while he was living there with his wife. There's only one museum in the USA devoted to him and it's in AL. <br /><br />Teacher/Learner - Mockingbird is the quintessential Alabama book. I had so much fun visiting Lee's hometown this past fall. <br /><br />nomadreader - Thanks! I'm excited about it too. I hope you guys enjoy it.<br /><br />Brenna - Ha, yes I thought alphabetical would be easiest, but you know I'll get there by the end of the year!Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-48393712387853123702012-01-06T14:52:28.225-05:002012-01-06T14:52:28.225-05:00This is such a good idea for a series of posts.

TKAM instantly came to mind when I saw your post title but I forgot about Forrest Gump (probably because the movie is better known than the book).Teacher/Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280690822570558469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-82723656683208257312012-01-06T08:32:19.411-05:002012-01-06T08:32:19.411-05:00I'm fairly clueless about where authors are fr...I'm fairly clueless about where authors are from, too.
