Today we are heading States side, to visit New Jersey in all its mutli-facted character. I’ve had a few books cross my path recently that take place in Jersey, so I thought it would be neat to take a look at the landscape. “What books?” you might ask…well, I have recently given Holly Black’s Red Glove rave reviews and of course, Snooki’s A Shore Thing is out there on the shelves too.

So here’s a state wide look at some of the sights you might find on a trip to New York’s neighbour.

I find that sometimes New Jersey is another of those place that tends to get a bad rap. But whether it’s a con gone bad in Atlantic City (Red Glove), a group of friends partying through their youth on “The Shore”, or a brilliant doctor saving lives every week (House), Jersey is full of diversity, and that makes it a great city to feature in a story.
