Minnesota Reads is one of our favorite book blogs. They have interesting, thoughtful reviews of a wide range of books, and they are also good followers of the regional literary scene.

In honor of their first anniversary, they have listed their favorite five books by Minnesotans along with the chance to win them! The list includes our very own Tales of the Road by the fabulous Cathy Wurzer. Here is the complete list: German for Travelers by Norah Labiner, Turtle Catcher by Nicole Helget (also an MHS Press author), The Song Is You by Arthur Phillips, and Mudville by Kurtis Scaletta. Congrats all, and happy anniversary, Minnesota Reads!
