Annual Reading Challenge - Series Challenge Take 2

Actually it is take 3.  Yep I have already completed this challenge twice since July.  I am starting on my third time through.  Though this is geared toward Romance/Erotic Romance, you could easily adapt it to whatever genre you prefer.  This was taken from the Erotic Enchants group on Goodreads.

Without further ado my Sexy Series Challenge Take 3:

Annual Reading Challenge - Around the Country in 51 Books

Exactly what is Sounds like: Read 1 book from each state in the US + Washington DC.  Not as easy as it sounds.  While there are TONS of books for places like Texas, New York, and California... finding a quality book set it, say, South Dakota... not so easy.  Here are my pics: (This one also comes from the M/M Romance group on Goodreads so all my pics are M/M)
