I'm very pleased with my RIP XV reading challenge results! I selected a dozen books from which to choose and read five, abandoned three, and started one that I knew I wouldn't finish before the 31st, but will still count.
Books Read (click on link for review):
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough (4/5)
Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica (2/5)
Elevation by Stephen King (2/5)
Blood Harvest by S.J. Bolton (4/5)
Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz (4/5)
A Field of Darkness by Cornelia Read (in progress)
Books Abandoned:
The House on the Strand by Daphne Du Maurier
Sycamore by Bryn Chancellor
The Good Daughter by Alexandra Burt
This was a good challenge to help whittle away at my TBR stacks, particularly those four ARCs that have been sorely neglected. While there were a couple of duds, the others were very good and I plan to read more by those authors (Pinborough, Bolton and Horowitz).
Looks like you had a spooky R.I.P.!
ReplyDeleteJenclair, I am very pleased with my results for this challenge!
DeleteYou did great Les. I only read Elevation from your list. I completed the challenge-fun as always.
ReplyDeleteDiane, it's a fun challenge, isn't it? Now on to Nonfiction November!
DeleteI only chose four reads for RIP and only read two. I got sidetracked with King's Lisey's Story. Now I know why I never read it. HE said it is his best book so I was interested. Mostly because I've read everything but not that one. Oh, it was not good. I gave it 20% on my Kindle and gave up but that ruined me for the next RIP read. Oh well. Now I am struggling to find a current read. I have picked up four books and given up on them about twenty pages in.
ReplyDeleteTi, I'm sorry to hear that Lisey's Story was disappointing. I hope you find something to settle into. I'm having a difficult time focusing on reading right now.
DeleteYou did so well with the challenge! Very curious about the Cornelia Reed book so hopefully that's turning out to be a good one.
ReplyDeleteIliana, I was very pleased with my RIP results! I just posted my review for the Cornelia Read book and thought it was a winner. So far, there are 4 in that series!
