Recs if you like True Grit...

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

books from all US states and territories. asking for recommendations! these books must a) be written by an author with a strong connection to the state or territory and b) take place largely in the state or territory. i want to try to prioritize, whenever possible, underrepresented voices / voices that america’s regime tries to silence.

please lmk if any of these authors or texts aren’t good representation.

i will comment a list with each state/territory + its associated book!

Books to read on your sunny balcony in the shadows while wearing sunglasses because it's still too bright. There's a drink to your right, the condensation forming a little ring on your little balcony table. Maybe it's wine, maybe it's water, maybe only slow melting ice cubes. You don't know what time it is and everything smells like sunscreen.

Classic Western novels set in the Frontier. If you liked Red Dead Redemption, read these books.

Includes fiction and non-fiction

Books with immersive settings!

Every book that has been adapted into a movie covered by the Blank Check podcast

50 books - ones set in each state of America. I have put them in order alphabetically by state (not sure if it will change once created)
