This season we are moving through the state of Minnesota, looking at an interesting fact about each county and giving you a book prompt from that fact. We will share six book suggestions to meet that prompt, to get you started on reading new books. You can also take that prompt and find any other book to meet the challenge!

Cook County is one of our lovely northshore counties. It is named after Major Michael Cook of Faribault, who was also a territorial and state senator 1857-62. To celebrate this county, we suggest you read about book about a civil war of the US or any other country

We give you links to each of these books on our show notes page, taking you to Amazon.com. If you click on any of them, and buy anything at all – including a nice book – Amazon will send us a small percent of the profits they made on these sales. Thank you for supporting CMLE!
