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!
I'll be reading a shed load of horror over the next four months which I'm really looking forward to! Good luck with your challenge!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Have fun with all your horror. :D
DeleteYour list sounds good! And I enjoyed reading Dracul. Looking forward to reading your thoughts of these books. Have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to reading Dracul; my sister liked it, too. :)
DeleteThis is an interesting list! I haven’t read any of them, so I look forward to reading your reviews. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin! And thanks for commenting. :)
DeleteI'm not joining in this year, too disorganized, but I'm looking forward to your posts - and probably adding to my reading lists :)
ReplyDeleteSome years I can't even face the thought of a joining a reading challenge, and some years I think "why not?" :D
DeleteI just signed up myself--picking books for this challenge is always so much fun. Your lineup looks spookier than mine!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait to see what books you've chosen. :)
DeleteHave fun with RIP this year! I haven't participated in awhile, but I am sure I will be reading books that will quality between now and the end of October.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done R.I.P. in awhile either, but every year I read books that qualify for it. :D
DeleteYay so glad you are joining RIP this year. I hope you discover some wonderful spooky reads. I plan to join too but need to put together some potential reads.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you end up reading for it!
DeleteOoh nice to see RIP still going. I've been meaning to join in one of these years. The Dead Girls looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally do it. It's very low-key and lots of fun.
DeleteEnjoy your spooky reads!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! :D
DeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! Most blogs don't even last half that long.
DeleteI'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
ReplyDelete:D Yep. When these are the books you read anyway, this one's not hard at all.
DeleteI'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. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I usually do, too. :D
DeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteThere's only so many challenges one reader can do! ;D
DeleteIt sounds like you have some great reads lined up. I want to participate too. Must think about what I have on my shelves that might fit!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have a lot of books that would work. Can't wait to see what you find. :)
