1. The 13th book - The Stars My Destination
2. A book written by a young buck or geezer (use your own age definitions because I ain't goin' there) - Frankenstein, Before her 20th birthday, Mary had completed the Frankenstein manuscript.
3. A book with humor or horror - Dracula
4. 300-350 pages - The Peace War
5. A book that reminds you of home - Stairs of Sand, When I was growing up there wasn't many books in the house besides Dad's Zane Grey and Readers Digest Condensed Books collections. Since I haven't read any westerns since I left the farm in 1976, I will read a book I inherited from Dad. Its one of the orange hard cover books. This book has no printing date but has the copyright as 1928, so possibly it was printed in 1928.
6. Suns, skies, stars, or planets on the cover - Still Life
7. Chosen for the cover - The Voyage of the Space Beagle
8. "Missed it by that much" - a book you really wanted to read but didn't have time for - Navigators of Dune
9. Based on the blurb or blerg - Edge of Dark
10. A non-U.S. or UK publication/setting - Death's End
11. Gold on the cover, in the title, or in the author's name - House Atreides
12. A book with a vehicle on the cover, from a carriage to a spaceship - To Live Forever
13. An author's debut novel - The Wasp Factory
14. Make a list of 5-7 books and use "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" to choose one - House of Suns
15. A book from a genre that's outside your comfort zone - Tobacco Road
16. A book with a mystery or romance - Murder at the Vicarage
17. Standalone novel - Cloud Atlas

This looked like a great idea back in Jan, but we are well into the year and I haven't got started on The TBR Cleanup Challenge. I am making some progress on reading my dead tree books, but not the ones that I had picked out for the TBR challenge.
