I was searching through my email for something, and came across something entirely different. From a now-defunct homeschool group I was part of, someone had compiled a list of books by state (their child was reading though the states that way). Neat idea. And so I don’t forget it, I decided to throw it up on here for later. We already have a respectable number of these books, and they *are* good books.
