It's one of the things that fascinates me about the books I read, also. It can be a challenge to fill in some of the more unusual states. On my blog, I keep track of where all the books I read take place. So far, Texas is winning for the US, and England for worldwide.

I just checked it, that's so cool! I keep some information about books in an Excel file, but location isn't one of them. Maybe I should.. Yeah, UK and USA are the most used countries in books :) I haven't come across a book that took place where I live.

Well, this challenge was quite hard when not purposefully seeking out books based on setting! :D I only got 22/51 completed. Congrats to the rockstars that got all 51!Post #11.
I managed 35 for this year. I will set it up again for next year. I still want to have a year when I get them all!I remember that years ago Harlequin American romances used to take place all over the country. Then they turned to mostly east coast (NY and south) and western, then went all western. It seems like authors have forgotten that New England and the Midwest even exist!

I'm finished with this challenge for this year. I didn't complete it but I made some good progress. There were a few states that I wasn't able to find any books for. I tried looking at other people's lists but they didn't have those states either. Oh well.
