Challenge Addict 2021 Links to My Challenge tracking

  I decided to try something a little different for tracking which challenges I am doing this year.  Since I plan to sign up for the reading challenge addict challenge I figured I would use this challenge page as the compilation page for all the challenges.  This site also hosts intermittent reading challenges at different times of the year as well.  

How addicted are you?

Literary Escapes

 I am once again attempting to travel the USA and parts of the world through my book selections.  This challenge hosted  by Dolly at EscapewithDollyCas  will combine well with my Goodreads Around the World challenge.   There I have an ongoing circumnavigation challenge and the 2021 specific challenge for the USA and the world regions.   

  Challenge – Try to read 1 book set in each of the 50 states + the District of Columbia. (51 Points). If you complete the challenge you earn 50 Bonus Points. You also can earn Bonus Points for books set in Countries around the world. 1 Bonus Point for each country. (No repeats – only 1 point can be earned for each country.)  Signup here

Your books can be fiction or non-fiction and can be in any format, print, digital, audio. 

You can either track in a list or use a fun map, your choice

So, come travel with me as we work on this challenge.  I am listing my destinations below.  Be sure to use #LiteraryEscapes  if you are on social media
