RIP XVI Wrap-Up

I'm pretty happy with my results for this year's RIP challenge. The first collage is comprised of all that I read during the two months. Beneath that are the two original slides of what I had hoped to read. I also added a couple that weren't in my initial selections, both of which were winners so I'm glad I included them.

Final Results

My favorite book of the challenge is The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley. The Madness of Crowds, Falling, And Justice There is None and The One I Left Behind were all very good, too. 

I gave up on The Innocent, A Reliable Wife and A Stranger in the House.

I'm still listening to If It Bleeds and The Outsider, but have put both on pause until I finish a book club selection. 

All in all, it was fun to spend a couple of months focusing on mysteries and thrillers. They were all from my stacks, which is always nice, too. Now on to Nonfiction November!

R.I.P. XVI

 

 

It's that time of year again! The R.I.P. (Readers Imbibing Peril) Challenge is back, now in its 16th year.

•  Suspense
•  Thriller
•  Dark Fantasy
•  Gothic
•  Horror
•  Supernatural 

To join the challenge simply read any books (or view any movies) of your choice from the above categories between September 1 – October 31st. Feel free to post about them on your blog, Instagram, or Twitter. You can use #RIPXVI or tag @PERILREADERS to connect with other participants.

I've chosen several mysteries and thrillers from my shelves, both in print and on audio. I love participating in reading challenges since it's a way to focus on a select group of books that I already own. 

Have you read any of these? Are there any that I should skip?
