Mount TBR Reading Challenge Wrap-up

Here we are at the end of the TBR Reading Challenge. I have reached the top of Pike's Peak. I do not have a head for heights so it was about as high as I could go. I did wave from the top. In reaching the top, I have read the following books:

1. A Talent for War by Jack McDevitt

2. Matter by Iain Banks

3. Burning Paradise by Robert Charles Wilson

4. Full Dark House by Christopher Fowler

5. The Cassandra Project by Jack McDevitt and Mike Resnick

6. The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington

7. Adam and Eve on a Raft: Mystery Stories by Ron Goulart

8. Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson

9. Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood

10. The Gilded Nightmare by Hugh Pentecost

11. Fen Country by Edmund Crispin

12. The Human Division by John Scalzi

Part 2: These are Bev's suggested sentences completed with my book titles.

Describe yourself: A Gilded Nightmare
Describe where you currently live: Fen Country
If you could go anywhere where would you go?: Winesburg, Ohio
 Every Monday morning I look/feel like: Cocaine Blues
The last time I went to the doctor/therapist was because: I felt something was the Matter with my interior regions.
The last meal I ate was: Adam and Eve on a Raft
When a creepy guy/girl asks me for my phone number, I give him the one for The Magnificent Ambersons instead of mine.
Ignorant politicians make me: Glad I am part of The Human Division
Some people need to spend more time: learning a talent for peace, not a The Talent for War
My memoir could be titled: The Cassandra Project
If I could, I would tell my teenage self: Never visit a Full Dark House
I've always wondered: Is there such a thing as A Burning Paradise?

Best wishes to everybody; may you have a happy and book filled New Year.
