Books that were “out of this world” or dystopia types that gave no clue where they were from are not on the map… or are any books that mention no where they are located such as Small Town Sinners, The Black Shard, and Cut.
I missed 13 states but look forward to seeing how 2012 will turn out! Its fun to get excited about the setting of a book and my book club laughs when we are talking books and I ask what state it is in 😛

My post will go up later today. I didn’t total by state though,need to look at those figures and maybe add them to my post and will do it for sure in 2012.
I just totaled the states this morning Lori. 🙂 I hope to keep up on this better in 2012 so it is not so much work in the end. 😀
i am way too lazy to do something like that but it was fun to look at!
Thanks Diana, it is cool to see where I read and I find it interesting how much I read outside of the states as well.
If I were keeping track, I would have a lot in New York, also.
I also read a lot of Southern novels….
There are so many genres centered around New York, its funny from weddings to end of the world as we know it… it happens in New York 😀
You might want to try the Reading around the USA on Goodreads. That was a lot of fun! Happy New Year and happy reading.
Thanks Kaye I will look into that 🙂
I did good with this for awhile and then kind of pooped out on it! Ack.
Wishing you a wonderful 2012 filled with 5 star reads!
LOL – thanks Jenners 🙂 May your 2012 by filled with the best of the best as well 🙂
You really traveled the globe in 2011. Hope 2012 is a whirlwind year as well.
I hope so too Diane! 😀
It’s fun to see where you’ve been in books – I hope 2012 brings you as many armchair travel adventures 🙂
Me too Dawn – its starting out that way! 😀
I added states to my map today I am so happy to say I read the last state Mississippi on the 30th. It was a fun challenge. this year I will do it again and try to read from each state of Australia too.
Nice job! I hope you love it this year as well!
I am sure I will. I have read one book but have to work out which state. it was set in 4 but read the first one and ahalf last year so will use the state with the most pages. I think it will be Ohio which is never hard if you read any amish books.
Right! Some states (Illinois, New York…) are just easy!
