Adam's 2014 TBR Challenge: Checkpoint #8

I joined Adam from Roof Beam Reader for another round of TBR Tower Taming with his 2014 TBR Pile Challenge. As of July 20, I am technically finished with the challenge--I've read all twelve of my original TBR list plus one of the alternates. However, my goal every year with Adam's challenge has been to read ALL the books (including both alternates)....

Adam's Question of the Month: If you had to swap out a book from your list and put another book in its place, which book would you exchange and what would the replacement be?

 

Well...since I only have one book left (in the alternate position), I'd have to say that I would swap out Alone Against Tomorrow by Harlan Ellison and I'd plug The Black-Headed PIns by Constance & Gwenyth Little in its place. And, why, you might ask, Adam? (And you did.) Simply because I can't for the life of me figure out where I've put Harlan Ellison.  He's somewhere around here--but I've apparently packed him away in storage. This may be the first year that I don't read all twelve plus the alternates....
