UPDATE:
So I kind of gave up once I switched to all middle-grade-fantasy-all-the-time, because I rarely made it back to earth. But I did OK even with just reading through September: 42/51.
I missed:
Alaska
Arkansas
Idaho
Indiana
Kansas
Maryland
South Carolina
West Virginia
Vermont.
*****************
I'm going to track where I'm reading again, although I admit in advance that I won't beat myself up if I miss a state. Or ten.
I found a blog hosting a challenge to do this, so I'll sign up so I can check out what other people are reading for tough states. Dollycas is hosting the 2018 Literary Escapes Challenge And I'm going to make a real effort to read the three states I missed two years in a row, and a bit of a push to read the ones I missed last year.
