The United States of YA

The folks at Epic Reads (a HarperCollins site) have put together a really neat map called The United States of YA. They've found a book set in each of the 50 states and displayed them graphically. It's very cool, even though the map only shows the contiguous states. How neat is this? They're not all paranormal but I wanted to share because it's such a fun idea.

You can get the full list by visiting their post.

They're also working on another project: Planet YA. If you'd like to help them with it, follow the link. :D

I think it would be really fun to do one for YA and adult urban fantasy and paranormal romance. What do you guys think? It might be easier since we wouldn't have to stick to one publisher. If you have suggestions, leave them in the comments. If we manage to get all 50 states, I'll put something together!

When she's not dissertating, which happens more often than it should, Jenn spends her time reading, watching movies, playing volleyball, travelling, and enjoying the local music scene. Her latest addictions: yoga and Almond Crunch cereal.
