Reading Road Trip and Giveaway



Hi Everyone!  Today is my stop on the Reading Road Trip 2012 hosted by I Like These Books and Icey Books.  I have the State of Illinois.  What are some fun facts about Illinois (provided by http://awesomeamerica.com/illinois/)?

  • The tallest building in the U.S. is the Sears Tower in Chicago
  • Chicago is the nation's third largest city
  • Illinois is the sixth most populous state in the country
  • A replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa stands in the town of Niles
  • he Dairy Queen franchise was first opened in Joliet, Illinois, on June 22, 1940
Want to know something else that cool about Illinois?  One of my favorite authors lives there (and the some of her novels are set in that state as well)!  Any guess?  It's Simone Elkeles.  

So what am I giving away?  One of Simone Elkeles's books of your choice!
