The Horrible History of the USA is bulging with the nastiest and meanest moments in American history since cruel Chris Columbus first sighted land. This work includes details on the grim Pilgrim Fathers, and about Bill the Kid and Calamity Jane.

#ReadingUSA2019 mid-year status update! I have 11 to go, so looks like I only read 4 for this challenge in June, but I‘m thrilled with my overall progress. I‘m finding it‘s getting a little more challenging as the number of states remaining dwindles. I‘ve enjoyed seeing everyone‘s posts!

(I can‘t seem to tag Kaye anymore. Anyone else having this issue?)

squirrelbrain Wow you‘re doing so well! ❤️👍 5y
jessinikkip Youre doing good!! Ive also noticed that Kaye doesnt appear if you search either 5y
Hooked_on_books @jessinikkip Thanks! It‘s weird about Kaye, right? I went back to an old post of mine and her feed pulls up that way, so she didn‘t delete it. Odd. 5y

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Thanks! It‘s been fun! 5y
NatalieR Wow! You‘ve made amazing progress! Congrats!! 👏 5y
Amiable I was looking for Kaye the other day, too! Not sure where she is. 5y
Librarybelle Amazing progress! And I too tried searching for Kaye the other day and was unable to do so, and yet an old post on my feed brought her up. 5y
BarbaraBB You can tag her here but not in the post itself. Strange! @kaye 5y
BarbaraBB You‘re doing sooo well! 5y
Laughterhp Great job!! 5y

Itchyfeetreader Wow great job where has been your favourite ‘stop‘ so far! 5y
Librarybelle Amazing progress! 5y
Hooked_on_books @Itchyfeetreader Hard to say—I‘ve read a lot of good ones. But I would say one of the most eye-opening was California, for which I read the fascinating 5y
Itchyfeetreader Aha one of my colleagues has been recommending that one ! Good luck with the rest of your tour 5y
Soubhiville That‘s awesome, you‘re moving right along! You And @Kaye have inspired me to keep track of locations of books I‘m reading, and at the end of the year I‘ll do a world map and US map to see where I‘ve been. I‘d like to try this challenge next year! 5y
NatalieR Wonderful job!!!!! 🎉🥳 5y
Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville It‘s been even more fun than I expected. I love your idea of a map at the end of the year. I‘ve been made more aware of places in my books but haven‘t been keeping track. I should do that next year. 5y
Pamwurtzler Nice!! 5y

@TheReadingMermaid 💖

BeansPage You're ahead of the game girl and that is wonderful! 😊 5y
kaysworld1 @TheReadingMermaid I've had problems with it taking forever before so it's getting plenty of post time x 5y
BeansPage Understandable and a very good tactic 👍😃👍 5y
kaysworld1 @TheReadingMermaid would you mind checking with my swap partner to see if she has received the package, it's been a while now but there's nothing on her page xx 5y
BeansPage Please remind me who your swap partner is 😃 5y

1. Massachusetts, USA
2. Australia - tho the season difference would probably throw me. From what I hear they aren‘t so work focused and support time off etc.
3. One is San Francisco, USA and the other England
4. I feel like we have weird stuff no one‘s really heard of. Autocrat coffee syrup, Clam chowder and clam cakes, Del‘s Lemonade, Weiners (specific type of hot dog with meat sauce and onions on them)
5. 💚 @inthegreensandblues

SailorMoon Thanks for playing!!! 💕🤟🏻🌙 5y
inthegreensandblues Not long ago I learned about New England's distinction between milkshake v. frappe v. cabinet. 🤯 I will sample all whenever I finally get there! 5y
Laughterhp @inthegreensandblues We are really weird 😂😂 and have to make up our own words for the same food 5y

Hooked_on_books As someone who lived there briefly, I would like to point out that Del‘s is from Rhode Island, not Mass. 😉 (edited) 5y
Laughterhp @Hooked_on_books Haha I know! I‘ve been a Rhode Islander my whole life until last year! I know what‘s specific to RI, but not to Mass! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Hooked_on_books @Laughterhp It‘s funny, I lived there for just a year, and people were VERY clear about what was specific to Rhode Island. They also thought 15 minutes was a long drive. 😂 5y
Laughterhp @Hooked_on_books Haha that‘s very true! That‘s because people who live in RI don‘t usually ever leave.Also, I would say 30 minutes is a long drive. Anything more than an hour is the worst! 😂 5y

Here‘s my map status for #ReadingUSA2019 as of the end of February. I am at 19/50. I had hoped to get 5 states read each month, so I am delighted and somewhat surprised to find myself way ahead of schedule. This is a really fun challenge!

squirrelbrain Gosh, you‘re doing so well! I did 8 in January but only 3 in February - need to step up my game! 😁 5y
jessinikkip Ugh... Gosh yall are all so far ahead of me! I need to step my dang game up these next couple months 5y
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain I think you‘re right on track! Five books a month gets you finished by October, and you‘re average is above that, so you got this! 5y

Hooked_on_books @jessinikkip It‘s so early in the year—you have lots of time. I was a little slow to start and saw some others cranking out books in January, so that inspired me to step up my game. 5y
Kaye Great job. I like your map colors and you‘ve got a lot of states done already ! 5y
Librarybelle Terrific! I love seeing everyone‘s posts! 5y
NatalieR Awesome! 😎 5y
Laughterhp Great job! Every time I see you post a state, I‘m like man! She‘s flying by and I need to read more states! So thanks for the motivation! 5y
Hooked_on_books @Laughterhp Thanks and you‘re welcome! I think everyone‘s doing great! 5y

It‘s as though Kelly Jensen knew about @Librarybelle ‘s #ReadingUSA2019 challenge, as she has posted a handy-dandy list of YA books set in every state! Thanks Kelly!

@kaye had the amazing suggestion that I could post a list of participants in #ReadingUSA2019 , to see what others are reading. I‘m tagging everyone who has posted so far with the hashtag, and please let me know if I missed you! I know others have signed up, so I may update this periodically.

I‘m already finding some more titles to add to my tbr list!

Kaye Thanks for the list ! 5y

So I just saw this challenge and thought it‘d be interesting to join in and track my reading.

However, I remember my reading preference is not USA, but London... so we‘ll see how well it goes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I‘ve already covered 4 states though!
RI (Book)
GA (Book)
MA (Author)
NY (Author)
