Not a Big Reader? These Highly Rated North Dakota Books Might Change Your Mind

I'm not the kind of person that picks up a book and loses myself in a few chapters. However, a number of my family swear by the calming power of a good book, and my grandmother Millie loved to read. During a recent conversation, someone made the suggestion that perhaps the subject—rather than the act of reading—is the problem for me. The decision to explore North Dakota-set novels resulted from that.

So I went looking, and the huge amount of works that are set in the Peace Garden State actually impressed me. I even found today that many of the 100 books on Goodreads can be read on a Kindle or online. So that makes things more convenient for those of us that might shy away from reading.
