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!

 

Today our prompt is inspired by Beltrami County! This county is located in the northern part of the state and includes the Red Lake Reservation. Our prompt comes from Giacomo Beltrami, Italian explorer who explored the northern reaches of the  Mississippi River in 1823; read a book set in Italy or with an Italian character.

 

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!
