2014 Where Are You Reading?

I love this challenge!  I was hoping Sheila at Book Journey hosted this again.  I participated in the past couple of years and haven't completed it, but I enjoy seeing all the places I visited during the year.  It's fun to look back even if I can't squeeze in all 50 states in the U.S.

Here are the details...

Challenge begins January 1, 2014 and ends December 31, 2014

How do you decide what state a book is categorized under?

1.  In a fiction read it would be the State or Country that the book spends the most time in.  (Ie. If your main character is from Wisconsin but the book is all about his/her time in college in California – the books should categorize under California….)

2.  Non fiction reads categorize  in whatever State or Country it is about (Ie…. a book about fly fishing in Colorado is a Colorado point, and a book about women in Afghanistan is an Afghanistan point.

3.  If the book goes from one state to another… go with the state that most of the time is spent.
