The state has a chance to win 50,000 books for children in need, as long as enough people cast their votes for Ohio in the What Book Got You Hooked? contest by First Book.

The only required field to fill out on the form is which state you'd like to send the books to. But you can also add the name of the book that got you hooked and why, along with your name and e-mail address. See what other people have selected as the book that got them hooked, including celebrities like Jon Krasinski, Morgan Freeman, Neil Patrick Harris, Selena Gomez and Bow Wow.

You can vote once every 24 hours, so vote early and vote often -- and have your friends and family do the same. Voting ends at midnight Sept. 30.
