My 2020 blogging goal needs to be to keep up with reviews so I don't have to madly write reviews in the last couple weeks of December.

In any case, here's to some great reading in 2020.

The state that is absolutely the hardest for me to find books set in for some reason is Arkansas! I can only think of ONE book I've read set in Arkansas over my whole reading career. Poor Arkansas :(<br /><br />New York is almost always #1 on my list. There are SO many books set there, both in NYC and Upstate.<br /><br />Happy New Year, Sam!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-56475166478036851482019-12-31T17:19:52.253-08:002019-12-31T17:19:52.253-08:00Ha ha.

Three depends a little, but I did end up reading a lot of Texas books this year!<br /><br />I love end-of-the-year posts, too.

I read a lot and was fairly satisfied with my picks for 2019. We'll see what 2020 brings<br /><br />The states reading challenge is fun. It always interests me to see where books are set, so it's fun for me to try to get all 50 states.<br /><br />Happy New Year, Cath!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-59055812299484310622019-12-31T17:12:20.318-08:002019-12-31T17:12:20.318-08:00Thanks!

Tracking my locations showed me how few books are set in the middle of the country when it comes to YA (except IL, and when I say IL, I mean Chicago). NY (63) edged out CA (62) for me, but no other states really come close.

Well done. Interested in your American states challenge. I'm doing a long-term one over many years, trying to read a book from every state. Not sure where I am with that, must check and see how far I need to go to complete it.
