I have moved my Andrea Reads America project to its own site to provide a more navigable experience with maps, resources, and state-by-state literature capsules. To follow along, please click over to Andrea Reads America: A literary tour of the USA. Thank you, and I look forward to sharing the adventure with you!

My literary tour of the United States is underway! Starting in Alabama and progressing alphabetically, I plan to read 3 books set in each of the 50 states in the US, plus the District of Columbia, with the following authorships represented in every state:

• women authors
• men authors
• non-Caucasian authors

I am eager to experience each state from different points of view. Whenever possible, I would like to read authors who are native to or are long time residents of the state they set their fiction in, for whom the land is a part of their psyche.
