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!

This week we admire Martin County. This county contains contains Fairmont Opera House, theater built in 1901, it is  a well-preserved and longstanding venue for cultural and social events. To celebrate this, we suggest that you read a book about a cultural or social event. You can find all our book suggestions on our show notes page!

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!
