RIP VIII challenge – I’m in!
Fall is my favorite season; I love how the weather changes, unpredictable, how the colors turn to reds and oranges and browns, how the ground crackles under our feet, how the air gets fresh and chilly. The days get shorter and it feels like the perfect time of the year to read all these mysterious, gothic, creepy novels we have accumulated on our shelves in the year.
And so I am so excited that The R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril Challenge is back! I was more than sad to miss it last year, busy that I was with our move, but this time I am one hundred percent ready to get on it!
For the occasion, a multitude of books fitting one of these categories can be read :
Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above.
I’m pretty sure at least half of what’s on my shelves could fit into these categories, however I have selected a few books that I would love to read from now until the end of R.I.P. VIII on October 31st. My plan is to do Peril the First, which is to read 4 books of these categories.
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
Are you joining the R.I.P. challenge too? What do you plan on reading?
Have fun!
Oh good, another person reading Gaiman’s latest! I’m hoping to read it soon too…if the library gets it to me! I’m only about 40 in line…
I read the Neil Gaiman last month on audio and quite enjoyed it. I hope you do, too!
A Monster Calls is a great RIP choice!
Ooh! The Ocean at the End of the Lane! Great book. I love how the covers of your stack are so dark. 🙂 Have fun.
