2012 Where Am I Reading Challenge

After all the fun I had last year storming BookJourney's Where Are You Reading? challenge, I'm going to try to do it again at a more sedate pace.  At the end of each month I'll check my numbers, and if I haven't garnished at least 5 new states I'll deliberately toss in enough to round up the numbers.  I think I'll also try to keep a running count; last year I mostly ignored books if I already had that location.

This year I'm also hoping to read a lot more outside the US, and I think I'll stick all unknown locations in Antarctica.  There will be many fictional characters inhabiting that snowy plain, I'm guessing.

After carefully studying the instructions and finally recognizing Google's paperclip as the "link" icon, I made and linked  a new 2012 map for this year's books:

I'll list my favorite book, and then keep a count.  Of course, this will be harder once I've read more than one book.

19/50

P.S.  World 66 has a nifty map that tracks where you've been.  I'm tracking where my books have been:
