50 States Challenge 2014

Last year I only read books based in 34 states. I didn't actively pursue the challenge, but kept track as I read throughout the year, just out of curiosity. This year, I'd like to actually read books set in all 50 states so we'll see. The only thing I don't like is feeling obligated to read a book that I don't like just to fulfill a challenge, but who knows what books I'll come across. You can see what states and their corresponding books I read during 2013 here.
