Joining the R. I. P. VIII Event
September 6, 2013 9 Comments
I’m joining R. I. P. VIII! That stands for Readers Imbibing Peril. It’s hosted by Stainless Steel Droppings. I joined in last year and it was great fun!
The challenge runs for the next two months, between September 1st and October 31st. Participants should read novels (or watch movies) in the following categories:
Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
As I’m a fast reader, and I have enough reading material left on the shelves to fulfil the criteria, I will go for the highest level, which is that of Peril the First.
For the Peril the First level, you’re required to read four books that fit the definition of scary. I’m going to read the following (subject to change):
- The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle. 4.5 stars
- The Donor by Helen Fitzgerald
- Cartwheel by Jennifer Dubois
- Sorry by Zoran Drvenkar
I’m really looking forward to reading these. But I’m also taking part in a challenge on Shelfari, so if it suits me better, I may swap a book or two.
Over 140 people have signed up for this challenge so far. How about you? You can read 1, 2 or 4 books, or watch one or more scary movies. Isn’t it nice to be scared sometimes?
Finished: 1/4

I saw your name just above mine when I signed up to this challenge. I do not know your books, but I hope you like them very much.
Kind regards,
Love this event! I’m doing Peril the First too. I’m not familiar with your scary book choices but that’s one of the best things about this, I find new titles in a favorite genre.
Have fun, Leslie! I’m reading my first book and it’s really good fun – The Devil in Silver.
Good luck looks like a fun event.
OOOOoooo this would be a great excuse for me to read April’s book Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea!! I shall consider…. 🙂 Hope you enjoy the challenge.

Thanks, Isi. I just finished my first…
