Time for R.I.P. XIV!


Readers Imbibing Peril  is always a fun autumn event in the book blogging world. I haven't participated in the past few years, but I couldn't resist joining in this year. (Although I probably won't post most of my R.I.P. reviews until October.) The purpose of the challenge is to have fun reading and sharing books that could be classified as Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Dark Fantasy, Gothic, Horror, and Supernatural. Shouldn't be too hard for me considering that's what I like to read most of the time anyway.

In Peril the First, which is the level I'll probably shoot for, you just have to read any four books that you feel fit the above categories. If you only want to read two books this year, then Peril the Second is the category for you. And if you only want to read one, then 'sign up' for Peril the Third. There are also categories for short stories and movies. There's no pressure and no stress. It's just for fun. It runs from Sept. 1st to Oct. 31st.

Here are some of the books I'm planning on reading in October that I think would fit this reading challenge perfectly:








Happy RIPping!

    1. Some years I can't even face the thought of a joining a reading challenge, and some years I think "why not?" :D

    1. You should totally do it. It's very low-key and lots of fun.

  9. Looks like some fun reading...enjoy. I posted somewhere else that this has to be one of the oldest challenges still out there. There are very, very few book blogs fourteen years old.

    1. That is so true! Most blogs don't even last half that long.

  10. I'm looking forward to hearing what you've been reading for this favorite challenge of mine. My post will be up in a couple of days. As you mentioned, for some of us to read these books - not at all hard, right? LOL

    1. :D Yep. When these are the books you read anyway, this one's not hard at all.

  11. I'm going to have to check out some of these! I participated for the first 10 years, now I just read as much spooky stuff as possible. :)

  12. Oh I see some I need to check out. I've done this before in the past but Stormi convinced me to do Monsterathon this year and I think it's going to be more than I can handle this month. I have already read some good books though!
