R.I.P IX…..

It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I’ve got to….

tell you all about RIP IX!

How it got to be September I really don’t know!  Well, obviously one month followed the next so i guess I do know and am just exaggerating – I just can’t believe September is here, the nights are closing in and once again Carl, at Stainless Steel Droppings, is hosting RIP (Readers, Imbibing Peril).  Time to get your fright on people!

If you’ve not taken part before then now is your chance to join in and I’m going to give you a whole bunch of reasons why:

1. The first rule about RIP is that there are no rules for RIP.  

2. It’s all about the chillers, thrillers, gothic horror, mystery, murders, dark fantasy and other things that go bump in the night.  And you know you love all that so….

3. There are a LOT of bloggers who all join in – who knows, you could just make some new blogging buddies or pick up some dark and chilling reads to add to your winter tbr.

4. Carl is an awesome host.

5. You can read as much or as little as you please – plus add in scary film reviews or join in with a readalong.

6. The best part, if you’re like me, and you’ll be settling in with a cozy (aka scary) book then why not post your review anyway – no biggie really!

7. You know you want to…

8. No really!

9. Oh, forgot to mention the awesome artwork (courtesy of Abigail Larson) which is here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Just do this thing!

That’s all.  Information can be found here.  Review site here.  Be there or, don’t!  Now, I need to go and find all my books and make a list – because we all love lists.  Oh, almost forgot – you don’t have to have a blog to take part.

Happy Goosebumps.

    An excuse to read some horror/scary books? Sounds interesting, I might do this 🙂

      Yeah, you should do it – it’s actually no burden at all if you already read this type of book anyway. Dark fantasy, grimdark and chiller/gothic horror! Yes!!!!

    I remember seeing this last year, but it was before I was doing much with my blog (still just posting my reviews on other blogs) this year, I may just have to at least think about it. Love to read creepy books anyway 🙂

      Yes, you should join in – it’s actually no burden at all – I pretty much tend to read this type of book in the later half of the year so I’m posting reviews anyway and I just add the link. I love creepy books when the dark nights set in.

    My favorite challenge. Well, except for Once Upon a Time! I’ve already started my first book!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar lynnsbooks

      I love Carl’s events – they’re just so chilled out it would be foolish not to join in (unless of course you don’t read this type of book!)

    Oh boy, is it that time again. Enjoy!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar lynnsbooks

      It is – unbelievably so. It definitely doesn’t feel like autumn is upon us – not yet!!

    I love the ‘Time Warp’ quote at the beginning! Good luck for the event and enjoy 🙂

    My favorite challenge for my favorite kind of genres. I’ve already finished one book, and it was great.
    What are you planning to read, Lynn?

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar lynnsbooks

      I need to put up a list. I’m so organised – in fact I can’t believe it’s come round so fast.
      Lynn 😀
