Tanya at Girlxoxo.com created this awesome reading map, which visually documents the settings of the books she has read using pins on Google Maps. I've always wanted to create a reading map myself, but just wasn't sure about the best way to go about doing so. It turns out, Google Maps was the answer that I was looking for all along!
Little by little I'll be filling out this map, starting with what I've read in 2012, since that was the year that I really started using Goodreads on a regular basis to track my reading. So far, I'm really liking the fact that I can color-code my pins - I've been using a different color for each year, and creating a new layer for each year, as well (so that I can filter them easier). I also like that I can include a picture of the book cover on each pin!
The only issue I've had so far is figuring out where some of the books I've read have taken place - not all of them list a setting on Goodreads or in their synopsis, and I don't exactly remember them all. If anyone knows of a good resource I can use to figure this out without having to go through the books again, please let me know!
