The Book Titles Tag

 I found these lists at Emma's site. The idea is to answer each question with the title of a book you read from the previous year. Emma did this with just her 2024 list. I was tempted to just use ALL of my titles from 2000 to now, but much like an expert gamer, wanted to make this just a bit harder on myself. So I too am limiting my answers to 2024. Unless it gets really hard, in which case I'll use a cheat code, just like I use to do in Heretic and Hexen ;-)

I began the day with Wishes
On my way to work, I saw The Sign of Nine
and walked by The Web of Spider
to avoid the Neuromancer
but I made sure to stop at The Watsons
In the office, my boss said, A Man Lay Dead
and sent me to research My Grave Ritual
At lunch with Mary Poppins in the Park
I noticed Doctor Syn on the High Seas
under (the) False Flag
then went back to my desk, a Lethal Agent
Later, on the journey home, I bought The Book of Cthulhu
because I have The Weapon from Beyond
Then settling down for the evening, I picked up The Killer's Payoff
and studied  The Amulet
before saying goodnight to The Hellhound of the Baskerville's

Holy smokes, that was tough! I'd recommend each section as tag for anybody else. Unless you're as tough as Emma and me.

Have at it folks! ;-)
