R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril X Without further ado, pick your poison, won’t you? September 1st is here, and we’re ready to begin! Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural. Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above. As time has wound on, we’ve discovered that simple rules are best: 1. Have fun reading (and watching).
2. Share that fun with others. There are multiple levels of participation (Perils) that allow you to be a part of R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril without adding the burden of another commitment to your already busy lives. There is even a one book only option for those who feel that this sort of reading is not their cup of tea (or who have too many other commitments) but want to participate all the same. R.I.P. X officially runs from September 1st through October 31st.
It’s that time of year again! I am hardly on my blog anymore, but you can always count on me to join R.I.P. every year. I’m participating in Peril the First – read 4 books. I will read short stories from Shadows and Monsters by Grace A. Dow. And maybe this will be the year I actually watch a scary movie on Halloween like I always say I will!
1. The Vanishing by: Wendy Webb
2. The Shining by: Stephen King
3. Rooms by: Lauren Oliver
4. The Bad Seed by: William March2014:

- Creativity for matching the categories is not only allowed, it’s encouraged!
- You don’t have to make your list of books beforehand, you can choose them as you go.
- You don’t have to read your chosen books in any particular order.

What It’s All About
The Dystopia challenge is for those who love it and for those who have never tried it. From negative utopia to plain ol’ totalitarian, there’s much to love about Dystopia and many ways it can be written. If you’re not sure what it is check out Diva Schuylers’s post and learn all about it, but for a quick run down think of unpleasant living situations, pure dystopia being when an entity or social force is involved, but you can think outside the circle with this one. Here’s one of our Must Reads lists for some inspiration.
The Deets

- When Can I Sign Up: All the way up to the last two weeks of December 2012!

- Mr Linky: To use the Mr Linky you’ll need to click on the graphic then enter your link. These will be updated and posted into this page every couple of weeks or so.
