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.
