I just discovered a reading challenge at Jenners' blog that I don't think I can pass up! Hosted by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings, the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril V Challenge embraces mystery, suspense, thrillers, dark fantasy, gothic, horror, and the supernatural. This is the fifth year for the challenge (thus the V) and the gorgeous artwork associated with it is by Jennifer Gordon.
Since I started a new book last night that fits the bill (a mystery) I decided I might as well jump in a give it a go. I'm going to be brave and attempt the "Peril the First" and read four books. The challenge officially runs from September 1st through October 31st. If you want all the particulars on the challenge (and perhaps join in), you can click here for all the info.
I have several books on my shelf that will fit the challenge. I do know that two of my four will be Nemesis by Lindsey Davis and The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths. In keeping with mystery and suspense.... the other two books remain to be seen!

You go Sis!!!! :)
I'm so glad you found out about the challenge and decided to join in. I hope the books you choose end up being deliciously creepy and mysterious. Have fun, and welcome!
Good luck with your latest challenge. I'm Looking forward to reading your reviews.
I read about 10 vampire novels this summer. I'm totally bled out. But "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova is FABULOUS must-read if you haven't already read it. It's about Vlad the Impaler. (I've read it 3 times).
Happy reading. Blessings!
Marion - "The Historian" is sitting on my shelf and both my husband and my younger daughter have read it. I'll certainly give it extra consideration when choosing my last two.
The Crossing Places is a fabulous debut! Excellent for your challenge, I think.
Dorte - I thought you might be pleased to see that in my lineup.
: )
Good luck. I hope you enjoy every minute of the challenge.
That sounds fun! Your blog is pretty. I need to spend a lot of time, trying to work on mine. I don't mind the work, I just mind no knowing out to fix it up, like yours. Where did you learn??
Jenny - Just get in there an experiement! It always gives you the option of previewing before making something permanent, so you really can't hurt anything by trying.
Yay!! I'm glad you decided to join in. I saw it all over the place last year and everyone had so much fun that I promised I would join in this year! Have fun ... and don't get too scared! HAHA.
Very cool contest. I loved "The Historian". quid
The best of luck with your latest challenge!
