In its 11th year, one of the most popular online book events is now upon us ~ R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril hosted by Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings. A righteously grand time, especially for readers who love a good scare! Part of the fun in participating in R.I.P. is the planning and deciding which books to read, movies to view and seeing what other bloggers have in store!
R.I.P. officially begins September 1 and ends October 31. Two full months of ghouls, goblins, ghosts, zombies, etc. etc. For a suspense/thriller/mystery genre lover like myself, these two months are pure heaven! Although I am just a bit late joining the party. . .
There is one good thing about being late ~ I’m able to pull recommendations for books and movies from my fellow book bloggers!
This year I plan to complete Peril the First, Peril of the Short Story and Peril on the Screen. What books and movies are in store for me {and you!}?
