Link up your New England fiction, nonfiction, poetry/drama, children’s, speculative fiction/mystery, and readalong/free choice posts here! Click here for the state linkup.
To qualify, books must be read between January 1 and December 31, 2016, and must be posted about publicly in some way (blog post, Goodreads, Amazon, etc.). A substantial part of the book must take place in at least one of the six New England states. In the case of poetry, the poet should be strongly associated with or draw inspiration from the region.
Posts that qualify for multiple categories should only be linked in one.
Fiction
Nonfiction
Poetry/Drama
Children’s and YA
Speculative Fiction/Mystery
Crap, I already messed up. Sorry but can you delete my link in the fiction column?
No problem. 🙂
Ha! I did the same Karen! Could you delete mine to Lori? Sorry
Hi Lory! Can you delete 2 above? I hit the button too fast and didn’t realize the text was for another book! Sorry about that. Thanks!
Done! Thank you for linking!
I’m treating the historical mystery I just read as my free choice entry.
very good!
The kids and I had fun to read some children’s books from New England!
*had fun reading* (Geez, grammar is apparently not my strong suit this morning. But at least I got the linking right this time. 🙂 )
One thing down at least! 🙂 Thanks so much, it looks like a fun assortment of books.
I enjoyed reading Almost, Maine for the drama & poetry genre.
Yay, you found a play to read! Thanks for linking.
I thoroughly enjoyed “A Hundred Summers” for the (historical) fiction genre.
It sounds great, Penni, thank you.
The Munich Girl I’ve put in the Free Choice category as it’s a sort of mash-up of romance, historical fiction and mystery — hope that’s the right place for it! Night Birds on Nantucket naturally goes in Children and YA while The Storied Life of A J Fikry fits the Fiction slot so well it’s almost metafictional! That’s Massachusetts and New Hampshire covered; only four more states to go!
Sure, free choice would work for The Munich Girl. However, for the purpose of the challenge I’m saying posts should only be linked in one category – so you should choose either New Hampshire or Free Choice for that one, and either Mass. or Children’s for Nightbirds. You can let me know what you prefer and I can fix them!
Oh I see, I misunderstood, duh! OK, I’ll go with ‘The Munich Girl’ for NH, ‘The Storied Life’ for Mass. and ‘Night Birds’ with Children’s and YA. Hope that works out!
Sorry, I know it’s confusing because obviously each book can count for at least two categories…I think I’ve got yours straight now.
I just posted my review for Summer by Edith Wharton. My first Wharton!
Fantastic, thanks for linking.
My last post of the challenge….sigh….it’s over…. 🙁
Sob!
My first New Eng;and review comes up tomorrow! The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer set in RI! 🙂
Technically this was a 2016 challenge — but I’ll keep the linkups open till the giveaway ends this week!
