Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa

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.

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

Anyone have any ideas for:

Delaware
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Dakota
Ohio
Oregon
Rhode Island

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

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.

Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec - this series
Becoming Calder by Mia Sheridan - the conclusion to this duet series is set in Cincinnati
Ignite (Explosive, #1) by Tessa Teevan - This is set in Cincinnati too
