Good morning! I am a little wired. (COFFEE!!!!) and a little tired… which in reality is probably stimulating the wired. Yesterday… two audio books came int o my home and I am so THRILLED! Mainly because my house was empty of all audio cds that I had not yet listened to. Sure, the IPOD is still full of good audio – but my kitchen cd player and my car… empty.
Trust me… that is so weird.
Yesterday arrived two audio books I had ordered from Amazons Black Friday sale, one of them was Linger by Maggie Stiefvater. I had read the books a few years ago and thought the audio might be fun. When I put it in the cd player yesterday I wondered if it was really wanted I wanted to listen to right now, a YA about wolves…. and then I heard the words that sold me.
The book is set in Minnesota. I seriously smiled when I remembered that.
“Why is that a big deal Sheila? Why? Why?” (Told you I was wired!)
Well, it is a big deal because I have been working the last couple weeks on updating my WHERE Are You Reading Challenge and I was saddened to see that I had not read anything in my home state of Minnesota this year.
Now – I have fixed that. Let the wolves rule the woods of Minnesota! 😛
So I can not present to you my updated and current WHERE Are You Reading Challenge. I will be posting the new 2013 sign up hopefully yet this week as I LOVE this challenge! You can see here the books I have read and where, and you can see my map here (which is super cool!)
I have to get moving this morning but hope your day is FAB! If you have been working on the WHERE Are You Reading Challenge with me this past year, I would love to hear how you have done! (If you have or havent, I would love for you to consider signing up for 2013) 😛
Book Journey 
I like the idea of your Where Are You Reading? Challenge; I guess I already had too many challenges by the time I seriously started thinking about it.
I read a book set in Minnesota not that long ago…Hmm, trying to think of the title.. I will probably think of it later!
The past two years I have hosted this challenge Laurel I didn’tnot read intentionally, just read what I wanted and it was fun to see where the states landed 😀
I bet you are tired – I get tired when I read about all that you do.
I am tired of being wiped out Kathy – I need to sleep for two days staright and get it over with 😛
I loved it when I did participate in the challenge, but had a hard time keeping up with my map. Life is pulling me in many directions. 🙂 If I can get organized enough for next year I may try it again though.
I got behind too this year Alyce, I have been catching it up there past couple of week s but I was all the way back at March when I quit updating. It really sucked to catch it up, but it was fun to see where I have read 😀
I did this challenge for fun, knowing I would never complete all fifty states. I’m probably lucky if I made it through half of them. Oh well, there is always next year I guess!
Right! 😀 Some states have a ton of books – my heavy states are New York, California, and Illinois.
I really enjoyed this book!! Audio is becoming quite an addiction for me right now!
I’ve read in 22 states and 15 countries (besides the US). I have very heavy states, too – and have read a few set in my home state of Washington. I’ve enjoyed keeping track of my reading locations – and will definitely be signing up for 2013! Though I may keep a running total, too, until I cover all 50 states.
I might try harder this year to hit them all. I think its funny when someone tells me about a book and I say, where is it set in? 😛
