Readers Imbibing Peril XIV Begins…
“-there was something in her, something that was…pure horror. Everything you were supposed to watch out for. Heights, fire, shards of glass, snakes…”
— John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let The Right One In
Bonfires.
Gourds.
Sweaters and seasonal socks and candles.
Welcome to the FOURTEENTH year of Readers Imbibing Peril, or RIP, as it is affectionately called. For these many years, we here at RIP headquarters have embraced the spookiness of the seasons’ change.
The purpose of the R.I.P. Challenge is to enjoy books that could be classified as:
The goals are simple.
1. Have fun reading.
2. Share that fun with others.
As we do each and every year, there are multiple levels of participation (Perils) that allow you to be a part of R.I.P. XIV 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 many other commitments) but want to participate all the same.
Multiple perils await you. You can participate in just one, or participate in them all.

Our Dark Journey Begins
“I can’t help it when people are frightened,” says Merricat. “I always want to frighten them more.” ― Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Crisp leaves.
Pumpkin spice.
Sweaters and wool socks and chilly noses.
There is something in the air and my soul is yearning with excitement. Why I find comfort in fall is no surprise, but I can’t explain why I find spooky books, movies, and music a comfort as well. I do though. Oh, how I do.
