2013 Reading Road Trip: Colorado

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by the Colorado stop of the Reading Road Trip!!! This is my first of two states I'm hosting (the other being Wyoming on Thursday)! Sorry its a bit late getting up (I haven't really been home that much to post lately). I've been pretty busy as of late so I haven't had the chance to really schedule much in advance!!!! But I'm here now, thats what counts!!! So thanks to Britta (I Like These Books) & Hafsah (IceyBooks) for hosting the Reading Road Trip!

  • Nickname: Centennial State
  • Motto: Nil Sine Numine - Nothing Without The Deity
  • State Animal: Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
  • State Bird: Lark Bunting
  • State Flower: White and Lavender Columbine

    Tough choice...I'd like them all but if I had to choose I'd probably go with Rules of Attraction.

    Thanks so much!
