Oh, it was a glorious Readers Imbibing Peril season! I'm so sad that it's over. I didn't get to read as many books as I wanted to but I'm still quite happy with my results! Thanks again a million times to Carl for hosting this great challenge. Some of us don't need motivation to get through this type of book at this time of year but I was glad to see so many of you join in that aren't regular readers of perilous books. I hope that it enhanced your season!
We posted 19 reviews of 24 books -- 13 fiction, 2 non-fiction and 9 picture books. One of the fiction was a graphic novel, one was an audiobook and one was a short story collection.
We posted about 2 films even though we watched many more. We decided to just post about the film/book pairs.
I got through 12 books from my TBR shelves which makes me VERY happy! Some of them had been on my stacks for over a year.
Here is a round-up of our reviews. I've put each of our favorites in bold but we would recommend almost all of these. We had few complaints!

If there was ever a challenge made for you, the RIP challenge is it! You rocked it!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased The Little Stranger was one of your favourites - it's one of mine from this year's reads, too, so far.
ReplyDeleteYou are a zealous challenge participant! I like it. :D And am hugely impressed at how many you got through in only two months.
ReplyDeleteJenners - The sad thing is that I could probably keep up these sorts of numbers year round! ;)
ReplyDeleteTracy - I'm now on my third Waters (Tipping the Velvet). I still think I like The Little Stranger the best so far.
Jenny - I only sign up for challenges that I will love. :)
You rocked this challenge last year and it looks like you did it again this year! Great job!! :) I really need to sign up for this one next year. October is just such a chaotic month for me!
