I read 756 books in 2011.&nbsp; I completed my goal to read fifty books from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list.&nbsp; I've been doing this for a few years now, and I'm going to do it again for 2012.&nbsp;<br /><br />The 2011 Where Are You Reading Challenge was also completed successfully.&nbsp; I read books from all 50 states, some territories and a bunch of different countries.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here's my map and list of locations for books read in 2011:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1&amp;output=embed" width="425"></iframe></center><center><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1" style="color: blue;

I've been told it is now supposed to ship between July 7th and July 10th. NVIDIA needs to send it soon. Six months without a laptop sucks. <br /><br />I participated in my usual reading challenges in the Goodreads' PNR and RRRC groups. I read three books for my 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die Challenge. The 2011 Where Are You Reading Challenge is also going well. I only have two more states left to get all fifty. The country list is also getting longer.<br /><br />Here's my map and list of books read for the year to date:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1&amp;output=embed" width="425"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1" style="color: blue; text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a></small></center><br /><br /><b>US States</b><br />Alabama - On the Run - Iris Johansen<br />Alaska - Chill - Stephanie Rowe<br />Alaska - Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer<br />Alaska - On the Edge of Survival - Spike Walker<br />Alaska - Coming Back Alive - Spike Walker<br />Alaska - The Last Run - Todd Lewan<br />Alaska - Deadliest Sea - Kalee Thompson<br />Alaska - 58 Degrees North - Hugo Kugiya<br />Arizona - Light In Shadow - Jayne Ann Krentz<br />Arizona - Infamous - Suzanne Brockmann<br />Arizona - Iron Crowned - Richelle Mead<br />Arizona - Stormwalker - Allyson James<br />Arizona - Firewalker - Allyson James<br />Arizona - Time Enough for Love - Suzanne Brockmann<br />Arizona - The Search - Iris Johansen<br />Arizona - Vampire In Atlantis - Alyssa Day<br />Arkansas - Dear Miss Demeanor - Joan Hess<br />California - X-Rated Bloodsuckers - Mario Acevedo<br />California - In Too Deep - Jayne Ann Krentz<br />California - Twice A Hero - Susan Krinard<br />California - Frisco's Kid - Suzanne Brockmann<br />California - Scandal Sheet - Gemma Halliday<br />California - Crush on You - Christie Ridgway<br />California - Sullivan's Woman - Nora Roberts<br />California - The Naked Lady Who Stood on her Head - Gary Small, Gigi Vorgan<br />California - High-Powered, Hot-Blooded - Susan Mallery<br />California - The Star Princess - Susan Grant<br />California - A Taint in the Blood - S.

My replacement laptop computer is supposed to arrive this week (unless the date gets pushed back again). I can't wait. Meanwhile, I have been doing plenty of reading. I read a total of 81 books in May. I've been working on catching up on some series and I've also started some new (to me) series. <br /><br />I finished all the challenges that I started in May over at Goodreads RRRC and PNR groups. I only completed one book toward my 1001 Books Challenge. I'll have to work harder on that challenge in June. On the Where Are You Reading Challenge, I have 11 more states to read. <br /><br />Here's my map and list of books read for the year to date:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1&amp;output=embed" width="425"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fauthuser%3D0%26vps%3D2%26jsv%3D351a%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26output%3Dkml%26msid%3D210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;aq=&amp;sll=4.214943,155.390625&amp;sspn=156.350957,316.054688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=15.284185,-95.625&amp;spn=152.419423,299.53125&amp;z=1" style="color: blue; text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a></small></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>US States</b><br />Alabama - On the Run - Iris Johansen<br />Alaska - Chill - Stephanie Rowe<br />Alaska - Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer<br />Alaska - On the Edge of Survival - Spike Walker<br />Alaska - Coming Back Alive - Spike Walker<br />Alaska - The Last Run - Todd Lewan<br />Arizona - Light In Shadow - Jayne Ann Krentz<br />Arizona - Infamous - Suzanne Brockmann<br />Arizona - Iron Crowned - Richelle Mead<br />Arizona - Stormwalker - Allyson James<br />Arizona - Firewalker - Allyson James<br />Arkansas - Dear Miss Demeanor - Joan Hess<br />California - X-Rated Bloodsuckers - Mario Acevedo<br />California - In Too Deep - Jayne Ann Krentz<br />California - Twice A Hero - Susan Krinard<br />California - Frisco's Kid - Suzanne Brockmann<br />California - Scandal Sheet - Gemma Halliday<br />California - Crush on You - Christie Ridgway<br />California - Sullivan's Woman - Nora Roberts<br />California - The Naked Lady Who Stood on her Head - Gary Small, Gigi Vorgan<br />California - High-Powered, Hot-Blooded - Susan Mallery<br />California - The Star Princess - Susan Grant<br />California - A Taint in the Blood - S.

They are telling me it will be the first week of June now. Less time on the computer equaled more time reading in April so I read a total of 81 books for the month. My year to date total is up to 299. <br /><br />I didn't read any books from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list in April, so I'm going to try to get some done in May. I have some of the books just sitting around but never got around to reading them. <br /><br />The 2011 Where are You Reading Challenge is going well. I have about 13 more states to go. I've started looking for some books to read for some of the specific states I haven't come across yet. Here's my map and list for the year to date:<br /><center><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;ll=35.746512,-96.328125&amp;spn=48.674335,74.707031&amp;z=3&amp;output=embed" width="425"></iframe><br /><center><small>View <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;ll=35.746512,-96.328125&amp;spn=48.674335,74.707031&amp;z=3&amp;source=embed" style="color: blue; text-align: left;">2011 Where Are You Reading Challenge</a> in a larger map</small> </center><center><small><br /></small></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></center><br /><br /></center><br /><br /><br />Alabama - On the Run - Iris Johansen 1/8/2011<br />Alaska - Chill - Stephanie Rowe 1/23/2011<br />Alaska - Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer 3/3/2011<br />Alaska - On the Edge of Survival - Spike Walker 3/13/2011<br />Alaska - Coming Back Alive - Spike Walker 3/13/2011<br />Alaska - The Last Run - Todd Lewan 3/13/2011<br />Arizona - Light In Shadow - Jayne Ann Krentz 2/6/2011<br />Arizona - Infamous - Suzanne Brockmann 3/18/2011<br />Arizona - Iron Crowned - Richelle Mead 4/9/2011<br />Arizona - Stormwalker - Allyson James 4/22/2011<br />Arkansas - <br />California - X-Rated Bloodsuckers - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />California - In Too Deep - Jayne Ann Krentz 1/21/2011<br />California - Twice A Hero - Susan Krinard 2/20/2011<br />California - Frisco's Kid - Suzanne Brockmann 2/20/2011<br />California - Scandal Sheet - Gemma Halliday 3/26/2011<br />California - Crush on You - Christie Ridgway 4/10/2011<br />California - Sullivan's Woman - Nora Roberts 4/11/2011<br />California - The Naked Lady Who Stood on her Head - Gary Small, Gigi Vorgan 4/17/2011<br />California - High-Powered, Hot-Blooded - Susan Mallery 4/25/2011<br />Colorado - The Nymphos of Rocky Flats - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />Colorado - Jailbait Zombie - Mario Acevedo 1/21/2011<br />Colorado - Frostfire - Lynn Viehl 1/24/2011<br />Colorado - Taming Her Billionaire Boss - Maxine Sullivan 2/19/2011<br />Connecticut - Talk Nerdy To Me - Vicki Lewis Thompson 1/15/2011<br />Delaware - She'll Never Know - Hunter Morgan 1/15/2011<br />Florida - Zoo Story - Thomas French 1/20/2011<br />Florida - Club Cupid - Stephanie Bond 3/4/2011<br />Florida - Wolf Trap - Linda Thomas-Sundstrom 4/3/2011<br />Georgia - Real Murders - Charlaine Harris 1/10/2011<br />Georgia - Veil of Night - Linda Howard 1/13/2011<br />Georgia - The Undead Kama Sutra - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />Georgia - Red Kiss - Deidre Knight 1/24/2011<br />Georgia - Underfoot - Leanne Banks 2/5/2011<br />Georgia - Mr. Complete - Sheridon Smythe 2/26/2011<br />Georgia - Finding Family - Gina Wilkins 3/6/2011<br />Georgia - Temptation's Kiss - Sandra Brown 4/9/2011<br />Georgia - A Bone To Pick - Charlaine Harris 4/24/2011<br />Hawaii - Eden Burning - Elizabeth Lowell 1/3/2011<br />Hawaii - Holding Out For A Hero - HelenKay Dimon 2/5/2011<br />Hawaii - The Wave - Susan Casey 3/26/2011<br />Idaho - <br />Illinois - Nowhere Man - Aleksandar Hemon 1/5/2011<br />Illinois - Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green, David Levithan 1/28/2011<br />Illinois - Darkness Revealed - Alexandra Ivy 4/3/2011<br />Illinois - A Taste of Magic - Tracy Madison 4/3/2011<br />Illinois - Firespell - Chloe Neill 4/4/2011<br />Indiana - <br />Iowa - <br />Kansas - One Night - Debbie Macomber 2/7/2011<br />Kentucky - Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs - Molly Harper 4/6/2011<br />Kentucky - Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men - Molly Harper 4/7/2011<br />Kentucky - Nice Girls Don't Live Forever - Molly Harper 4/7/2011<br />Louisiana - Craving Beauty - Nalini Singh 1/11/2011<br />Louisiana - Obsession - Tori Carrington 1/31/2011<br />Louisiana - Boys In Blue - Rebecca York, et al. 3/8/2011<br />Louisiana - Rumble on the Bayou - Jana DeLeon 3/23/2011<br />Maine - Ice - Linda Howard 2/21/2011<br />Maine - The Man Must Marry - Janet Chapman 2/27/2011<br />Maine - Siren's Call - Devyn Quinn 3/20/2011<br />Maine - Tempest's Legacy - Nicole Peeler 4/12/2011<br />Maryland - Baltimore Blues - Laura Lippman 1/28/2011<br />Maryland - Timbuktu - Paul Auster 2/6/2011<br />Maryland - Kindred - Octavia E.

It was very interesting to learn about how the elephants were collected in Africa then transported and relocated to their new home. &nbsp;There was a lot more involved than what you might expect. &nbsp;Permits had to be procured and protesters had to be dealt with. &nbsp;Besides the elephants, French also writes about the chimps and tigers, the rescued manatees and and plenty of other animals. &nbsp;His description of the zoo workers' personalities also adds interest to the book. <br /><br />It was such a great book that I &nbsp;finished it up in one day. &nbsp;Pick this book up if you are interested in animals or zoos or are just looking for a interesting, well written, nonfiction read.<br /><br /><br />Here's Hyperion's video for the book:<br /><br /><br /><center><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y0y3YyW7afw?rel=0" title="YouTube video player" type="text/html" width="425"></iframe><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3524947302464803229-5794070421997927530?l=colleenfl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColleenFLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972929134667895539noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524947302464803229.post-31312519618591359312011-01-18T08:13:00.000-05:002011-01-18T08:13:54.120-05:002010 was a pretty good year for reading. &nbsp;I read a total of <a href="http://colleenfl.blogspot.com/p/2010-books-read.html">730 books</a> totaling 215,766 pages according to <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/stats/567025-colleen">my stats</a> at Goodreads.com. &nbsp;That works out to exactly two books a day and brings my total pages read over the last four years to over a million pages. &nbsp; That's a lot of books. &nbsp;Quite a lot of those books were ebooks, read on my Sony Reader. &nbsp;I'm not going to list a lot of statistics about what I read because going back through that many books would take a lot of time. &nbsp; I read a lot of romance novels including contemporaries, historicals, paranormals and romantic suspense. &nbsp;Some mysteries, science fiction and fantasy and literary fiction. &nbsp;Also, some nonfiction. &nbsp;You can see my complete list by clicking on the link at the top of the page or going to my Goodreads page. <br /><br />Here's a list of my 4.5 and 5 star reads from 2010. (Goodreads doesn't allow half stars so I round up.) &nbsp;If a book is on the list more than once, that means that I read it more than once. &nbsp;Happy reading!<br /><br /><center> <style media="screen" type="text/css"> .gr_custom_container_1295304672 { /* customize your Goodreads widget container here*/ border: 1px solid gray;

The look at how the people adjusted to life without the communist rulers was engaging and kept my interest. &nbsp; At 182 pages, the book was welcome introduction to Albanian literature for me. &nbsp;If you are reading the 1001 Books list or just want to get a taste of Albanian literature, give this book a read.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3524947302464803229-5626616025374491649?l=colleenfl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColleenFLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972929134667895539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524947302464803229.post-72001969777560712322011-01-01T08:30:00.000-05:002011-01-01T08:30:49.507-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzB9JsaDYI/AAAAAAAAAcs/5Ozryd1eLKQ/s1600/dead+or+alive+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzB9JsaDYI/AAAAAAAAAcs/5Ozryd1eLKQ/s200/dead+or+alive+cover.jpg" width="129" /></a></div>I'm happy to say that I read a lot of good books this month. &nbsp;I had really been looking forward to another book in the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7997069-dead-or-alive">Dead Or Alive</a> was not a disappointment. &nbsp;It gets five stars from me. &nbsp;I hope there's another book in this series before too long. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzDFzu4t8I/AAAAAAAAAcw/SfDnQTYKceI/s1600/under+the+skin+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzDFzu4t8I/AAAAAAAAAcw/SfDnQTYKceI/s200/under+the+skin+cover.jpg" width="131" /></a></div><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/829663.Under_the_Skin">Under The Skin</a> by Michel Faber was another five star read. &nbsp;It starts with a woman picking up male hitchhikers. &nbsp;Where it goes from there will surprise you. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzET08OnWI/AAAAAAAAAc0/JUCo3YTsfX0/s1600/decision+points+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TRzET08OnWI/AAAAAAAAAc0/JUCo3YTsfX0/s1600/decision+points+cover.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8099187-decision-points">Decision Points</a> by George W.

This challenge involved picking ten PNR books that were on your TBR pile (and five alternates, if needed) and getting them read. &nbsp;This was my least favorite challenge in that group this year due to the fact that I don't like having to pick the books before the challenge starts. &nbsp;They were all library books so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get them all read before they were due back. &nbsp;It worked out okay though. &nbsp;Next month's challenge is already posted and it looks more like my kind of challenge. &nbsp;Hope to see you there! &nbsp;</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818;

Granted, Aunt Kiki (aka Aunt Kooky) always lived "outside the box." But now Erin and her two best friends are convinced that the pink crystal ball holds the key to their future-or at least the key to getting dates...</span></blockquote>Be careful what you wish for ... you may get it. &nbsp;Erin really wants to go on a class trip to Italy, but she doesn't know what to write about for her application essay. &nbsp;Only five students will be picked so it has to be a really good essay. &nbsp;She thinks that she is boring. &nbsp;She's talking about the trip with her two best friends, Lindsay and Samantha, while in another room, her mother gets a call telling her that her sister (Erin's Aunt Kiki) has died. &nbsp;Erin receives a pink crystal ball that had been her aunt's. &nbsp;The rules for its use aren't the clearest so there is some trial and error. &nbsp;The results definitely make Erin's life more interesting.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this story of teenage difficulties. &nbsp;The three girls have typical teenage problems like being picked on by a mean girl or not being able to get a guy they like to notice them. &nbsp;The addition of the pink crystal ball stirs things up more as they try to use it to fix their problems. &nbsp; They learn and grow from their experiences. <br /><br />All of the characters seem like real, normal people. &nbsp;There are mean kids and smart kids and nice teachers and so on. &nbsp;Even the pink crystal ball does its magic in subtle ways not a big flash of magic. &nbsp;The normality of everything else makes it easy to believe in the pink crystal ball while reading the book. &nbsp;Everything just fits together so well in the story that it's not a stretch to believe in the magic. <br /><br />I'd recommend this book to anyone that enjoys young adult novels. &nbsp;It is a well told story of tenth grade troubles with just a bit of magic thrown in.<br /><br />&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Book provided for review by&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Planned Television Arts.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3524947302464803229-8400484033382948064?l=colleenfl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColleenFLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972929134667895539noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524947302464803229.post-32725401044444254982010-12-13T10:55:00.004-05:002011-02-01T10:43:03.278-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/2011-where-are-you-reading-challenge/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UyzzRNhBRSs/TPU2_84BMBI/AAAAAAAAAb0/PFdfz-5_ImY/s1600/where+are+you+reading+2011+challenge+button.jpg" /></a></div>I found a new reading challenge to take part in next year. &nbsp;I'm going to participate in the <a href="http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/2011-where-are-you-reading-challenge/">2011 Where Are You Reading Challenge</a>. It's hosted by Sheila at <a href="http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/">Book Journey</a>. &nbsp; It requires reading at least one book set in each US state, but you can also add on as many countries as you want. &nbsp;It looks like a lot of fun. &nbsp;I've set up a <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Harpers+Ferry,+Jefferson,+West+Virginia&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;ll=39.331642,-77.730246&amp;spn=141.892298,12.304687&amp;z=2">map</a> in Google Maps to show where each book is set. &nbsp;I'm going to try to enter each book on there so I'll be able to see at a glance where each book's main setting is located. <br /><br />This looks like a very smart and fun way of keeping track of the locations that you read about. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to getting started on this challenge.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;ll=35.746512,-96.328125&amp;spn=48.674335,74.707031&amp;z=3&amp;output=embed" width="425"></iframe></center><center><small>View <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=210796565407831952884.000496485fe124e42b686&amp;ll=35.746512,-96.328125&amp;spn=48.674335,74.707031&amp;z=3&amp;source=embed" style="color: blue; text-align: left;">2011 Where Are You Reading Challenge</a> in a larger map</small> </center><center><small><br /></small></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></center><br /><br />Alabama - On the Run - Iris Johansen 1/8/2011<br />Alaska - Chill - Stephanie Rowe 1/23/2011<br />Arizona - <br />Arkansas - <br />California - X-Rated Bloodsuckers - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />California - In Too Deep - Jayne Ann Krentz 1/21/2011<br />Colorado - The Nymphos of Rocky Flats - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />Colorado - Jailbait Zombie - Mario Acevedo 1/21/2011<br />Colorado - Frostfire - Lynn Viehl 1/24/2011<br />Connecticut - Talk Nerdy To Me - Vicki Lewis Thompson 1/15/2011<br />Delaware - She'll Never Know - Hunter Morgan 1/15/2011<br />Florida - Zoo Story - Thomas French 1/20/2011<br />Georgia - Real Murders - Charlaine Harris 1/10/2011<br />Georgia - Veil of Night - Linda Howard 1/13/2011<br />Georgia - The Undead Kama Sutra - Mario Acevedo 1/19/2011<br />Georgia - Red Kiss - Deidre Knight 1/24/2011<br />Hawaii - Eden Burning - Elizabeth Lowell 1/3/2011<br />Idaho - <br />Illinois - Nowhere Man - Aleksandar Hemon 1/5/2011<br />Illinois - Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green, David Levithan 1/28/2011<br />Indiana - <br />Iowa - <br />Kansas - <br />Kentucky - <br />Louisiana - Craving Beauty - Nalini Singh 1/11/2011<br />Louisiana - Obsession - Tori Carrington 1/31/2011<br />Maine - <br />Maryland - Baltimore Blues - Laura Lippman 1/28/2011<br />Massachusetts - Kiss At Your Own Risk - Stephanie Rowe 1/17/2011<br />Michigan - <br />Minnesota - <br />Mississippi - <br />Missouri - <br />Montana - <br />Nebraska - <br />Nevada - <br />New Hampshire - <br />New Jersey - <br />New Mexico - <br />New York - Maus I A S
