States visited (reading) yearly

I think this link will work, but I'm not sure. The first link takes you to a blank map, the second to my personal map. I enjoy seeing what states I've visited through books during the year and this interactive map lets you easily do the tracking. The goal is not to visit every state, but just to see where you've been. Connie, you'll probably come close to visiting every state!

My first book was set in Texas, so that put a nice big red area on my map.

Oh dear, most of the books I read are in made up places! LOL!

I know, Kim! That's the world of fantasy that brings you so much reading pleasure. But you might be surprised at how many other types you read also. With all that Connie reads, I'm curious as to how many different states she visits.

Carole - I read through the US every year. Some of the states are a little difficult to find, but Avid Readers of Christian Fiction is pretty good with recommendations. I have several so far since I started 2022 a week early.

Wow, through my biographies I have visited China several times, India, Egypt, Solomon Islands, England, Scotland, Japan, and Eastern Africa. Most of the places I go to are fantasy worlds!

Connie, that's great! Did you miss any states? I plan on tracking state settings this year, but not to try and catch every state. It's just interesting to see where I've visited.

Kim, I'm sure you learn a lot about the countries in those biographies. Fantasy can be fun too!

One thing that struck me in one of the African biographies was that white men didn't go into the interior of Africa because they just didn't come out. That's why African tribes would fight against other tribes and then bring the white slavers their African cargo. It wasn't white men sweeping through Africa dragging black men away to be slaves - if the black men didn't enslave other black men then the slavers wouldn't have had anything to bring back! It was one of the women missionaries and she was determined to go into the interior of Africa to reach the lost, and she was able to get to those interior tribes, but even she wasn't able to go more than 65 miles into the interior. Before that I think it was 12 miles. Do you think that they are teaching black children that it was their own black "brothers" who were enslaving them? Not a chance!

Carole - I did get every state - I think at least two times.
