R.I.P - Count me in!

 Every year at this time, I think about joining the R.I.P. challenge, hosted by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings -


Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above. That is what embodies the stories, written and visual, that we celebrate with the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril event.


This year, I'm not thinking about it - I'm doing it! Mostly because I already had this stack of books sitting at my house waiting to be read - but also because I'm really enjoying reading with others this year.



 As part of this year's R.I.P, I will be joining the read-a-long of The Historian hosted by The Estella Society - I've had this one at my house long enough.It's time to read the darn thing!


I am going to try to join at the Peril the First level - read 4 books, any length, that fit the definitions of R.I.P. literature.


Here are a few choices currently on my shelves -


After that - who knows? I might be hooked!

It's my first year R.I.P.-ing, so I'm asking you, veterans- what should I read first??

  1. Yay for jumping in! I'm glad you stopped "thinking" and decided to join--this is always a fun challenge.

  2. Best challenge ever (as you may have heard me say once or twice) ...

    I'll be rereading both The Historian and The Thirteenth Tale. I can't wait to get into them! (I'm currently stuck in Victorian ghost stories and they are very slow going.)

Boo for spambots! Yay for real commenters! Too many of the former is making me crack down, but if you are one of the latter, I'd love to know what you have to say!
