Readers Imbibing Peril (RIP – over at Stainless Steel Droppings) has finally come to it’s conclusion and I can’t believe how fast that went by.  Another really excellent event with loads of participants and book talk.  Running during September and October I managed to contribute the following (I did have a couple of others that were appropriate but I forgot to place the link! – doh):

September

1. Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes
2. Brood by Chase Novak
3. The Splendour Falls by Susanna Kearsley

October

1. The Broken Road by Teresa Frohock
2. Spark by John Twelve Hawks
3. The Undying by Ethan Reid
4. Generation V by M L Brennan

A huge thanks to Carl for being such a fantastic host and taking the time to run this event.  It’s massively popular and I really look forward to choosing the books and waiting for all the other reviews. Thanks again! 😀

October round up:

I’ve had a bit of a self-imposed Halloween-a-thon over the past few weeks.  My October reads have been:

1. The Broken Road by Teresa Frohock
2. Puppet by Pauline C Harris
3. Spark by John Twelve Hawks
4. The Storyteller and her Sisters by Cheryl Mahoney
5. The Undying by Ethan Reid
6. The Tropic of Serpents by Marie Brennan
7. The Endangered by S L Eaves
8. The Fall by Bethany Griffin
9. The Reviver by Seth Patrick
10. Generation V by M L Brennan
11. Fevre Dream by GRRMartin
12. The Vampyre: A Tale by John W Polidori

Four vampire stories included – and all completely different styles!

Looking forward, November sees the start of a number of sci fi events.  This one here is particularly interesting and you might want to go and sign yourself up – looks like fun!

As for me, I’m going to mix up my November reads a little (I do have a couple of sci fi novels singled out) – October was a bit of a scare fest so it will be nice to sprinkle some good old fantasy into the mix – starting with The City Stained Red which I’m really looking forward to.

Let me know what you’re reading…
