Autumn is my favorite season for several reasons.  Annual anniversary trip, all of the woman birthdays in my family (me, sister, sister-in-law, mom, both grandmas, aunt), Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday), great hiking weather, Halloween, and….the R.I.P. Challenge!!

Here’s what it’s about:

The purpose of the R.I.P. Challenge is to enjoy books that could be classified as:

Mystery.

Suspense.

Thriller.

Dark Fantasy.

Gothic.

Horror.

Supernatural.

The emphasis is never on the word challenge, instead it is about coming together as a community and embracing the autumnal mood, whether the weather is cooperative where you live or not.

There are two simple goals for the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril XII Challenge:

1. Have fun reading.

2. Share that fun with others.

I’ll be participating in:
