How many have you guys read?
This is such a cool idea! I’m going to use it as a challenge for the new year! :D
This is really cool, although I’m a bit disappointed in some of the choices for the states. While I’m sure they were trying to represent a diverse group of YA genres and titles, by doing so they missed some of the biggest books/series! No Vampire Academy in Montana (although they do have Bloodlines in California) or House of Night in Oklahoma. I can see why they left out the Hunger Games as it’s more of a region than a particular state. Oddly, although I’m not anti-Twilight, I’m ok with it being left off the list. Also, while I love classics, most of this list is relatively modern. Could they really think of nothing else for Kansas but the Wizard of Oz?
Yeah, some of them were just weird! House of Night is a great suggestion, I wish they had that on there. I wish they had a lot of other more popular ones, because there’s quite a few I don’t particularly care about. And yes, Wizard of Oz was a bit strange!
