When Are You Reading? Challenge

8/13
This is my challenge to read a book from 13 different time periods. You can read about it here. My timeline tracks when my books take place and it’s pretty obvious I’ve been reading a lot of contemporary. But I’m working on it! I’m in the middle of a book for 1950-1969 and I finished a 1500s book! One is better than none, right?

Where Are You Reading? Challenge

11/50 (+13)
Hosted by Sheila. In the challenge to read a book from every state, I’m not focusing enough on American settings. My map shows that I’ve read a lot of books with a foreign setting and books centered on the East Coast. I don’t know why. I was able to add Colorado as a state with Fast Food Nation and for foreign countries I added North Korea with The Orphan Master’s Son, Spain with The Creation of Eve, and Canada with The Maze Runner. I know it doesn’t say it’s set in Canada, but my husband and I talked about the sequels and we think this is a pretty safe bet.
