Challenge Absolutely Complete: Adam's 2014 TBR Pile




I Found It!!!

Back in September I gave up on ever finding my last alternate for Adam's 2014 TBR Pile Challenge. I had always read the originals plus the alternates for a full fourteen books, but after looking high and low for the book all year, I became convinced that the gremlins had run off with Harlan Ellison's Alone Against Tomorrow. And then, ironically, while I was hunting through my TBR piles in order to put together my list for Adam's 2015 TBR Pile Challenge, I found it. Sitting on the TBR Science Fiction shelf just like it should have been. Either I've been blind since January and just regained my SF book sight or the gremlins finally took pity on me. Whatever the case, I have now read the final book on my list and the TBR Pile Challenge is absolutely complete.
