Summer Reading Tracker (50 State Challenge)

[Karen]

For fun a few of us decided that we would try to see how many states we "visit" during the busy travel months of May-September. The premise is pretty basic: If you read a book set in one of these states, mark it off. We want to see how many each of us can "visit". Thanks for participating!

Alabama

Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine

You did so good!! You definitely need to try and finish it out. I'll try and continue too. I have a bad habit of forgetting to pay attention to the state and then after I'm done I forget. Some books the area is part of the story, so it's easy to remember. But when it's not....

I know exactly what you're saying. Or they don't say where they're set.

[Karen]

I think I'm going to try to continue too. I really like seeing which books are set where...

[Deanna]

Anyone have any ideas for:

Delaware
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Dakota
Ohio
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Dakota
West Virginia

I prefer YA, NA or adult contemporary romances. I can try others.

[Karen]

West Virginia - series and Be with Me - this series are set in WV

ND - - this series is one that I read years ago, but it was good

Oregon - - this series and her food fusion series are set in Portand

HTH

Karen, that is amazing that you can remember settings of books. When I saw Deanna’s request I thought I have no idea. Occasionally a setting is so much a part of a book I will remember. I always remember California books because it’s my home state. Haha

I live in Ohio - and have only read a few things that were set here, which I think is kind of weird because it is one of the more populous states in the U.S. - I do remember a few books set in Ohio if you need them, I forgot to post those.

- this series
- the conclusion to this duet series is set in Cincinnati
- This is set in Cincinnati too

Thank you!
