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!

You can find our full show notes page here, with titles and descriptions of all the books we share.

Stearns County is one of the 12 counties in the CMLE membership! Charles Thomas Stearns (1814-1888) was an early settler of St. Cloud and a member of the Minnesota territorial legislature (1849-1858). To celebrate this community name, we suggest you read a book about clouds, or other features in the sky.

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!
