RIP II Challenge: The End! and Happy Halloween!
From ghoulies and ghosties,
Long-leggety beasties,
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us. – Anonymous
On to Carl’s RIP II challenge: This is the comment I left upon hearing of the Challenge:
I’m totally in! I’ll be reading The Other by Thomas Tryon, I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, Four and Twenty Blackbirds by Cherie Priest and Strangers by Taichi Yamada for starters. This year, I’m back to my reading self! I even have a book from my childhood that I’ll be rereading…can’t wait! I’ll be posting a picture of the books as soon as I get in…in a nice stack!
Well, I did it! Although I didn’t read all the books I said I would…I ended up making some substitutions. Out of the original list, I read Strangers by Taichi Yamada, which I really enjoyed; to that I added The Twilight Series (3 big books) by Stephanie Meyer, and in doing so, found a new author to adore! I also read Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause and 2 short stories: “Sredni Vashtar”, from the book, “More Tales to Tremble By” and “Bored Tom”, from – Strange Happenings: Five Tales of Transformation by Avi.
Peril the 1st completed! Thanks, Carl, for this challenge. It was fun, and allowed me to meet interesting some folks!

How was Blood and Chocolate? That’s sounded good to me. I have been a slow reader the last month or so. I need to get back on it!

I should do one of these challenges – not reading enough (hardly at all) these days.
