I'd never done a reading challenge until I took part in the Once Upon a Time challenge this year, and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I'd have a go at Carl V. Anderson's RIP Challenge too. I've been quite looking forward to it - there's been a hint of autumn in the air, which is my favourite time of year, and this seems just right... *g* Plus it'll be something to take my mind off the whole new-house-this-is-weird thing - at least that's partly the plan... *g* And thank you [livejournal.com profile] read_warbler for the heads up!

I've signed up for:
2014RIP-PerilTheFirstBanner
- which is: Read four books, any length, that you feel fit (the very broad definitions) of R.I.P. literature. It could be King or Conan Doyle, Penny or Poe, Chandler or Collins, Lovecraft or Leroux…or anyone in between.

I do actually have a few books lined up (not actually to hand now that everything is squeezed into a zillion bags and crammed into my new room, but that's a technicality - I know they're there somewhere), and I'm looking forward to joining my new library and finding more. I must admit that I've already treated myself to a wander around my new (but wee) local Waterstones, and a new DuMaurier book that I think will fit...

So - two months of spooky readings, from 1st September until (of course) All Hallow's Night... wish me luck! *g*

Oh excellent - so glad I made a good choice! *vbg*
