Where Am I Reading in 2013?

I've done BookJourney's Where Are You Reading? challenge for two years now, and I really like the way it pushes me to read outside my comfort zone. When the days grow short and I'm missing a Rhode Island or a Kentucky book, I'll grab anything I can find and then suddenly I'm immersed in the world of giant pumpkins or wild environmental thriller off the coast of South Carolina. I liked the idea of planning to get at least five books a month, although I'll probably be falling behind by the end of the year again.

I'm also going to try to track all my books here, but I'm a sloppy record keeper so no promises. And I'm adding in the global stuff at the bottom so I have one post for all my settings.

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