Well - I am entering a reading challenge put on by Carl V. (which I found out about from one of the many blogs I follow)!! It runs from September 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008 and sounds like fun!! (Plus, I love Halloween, so this should help build up the suspense!!)There are 3 Perils to chose from and I have selected Peril the First, which means that I must read FOUR books of any length, from any subgenre of scary stores.... bwah ha ha ha ha ah aaaaaaaaaa....According to the rules, I need to post my "pool" of possible selections on my blog here and then post reviews as I finish reading at: Ripping Yarn's Site
So - Here is my pool of possibilities:
- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (which may be cheating because I just finished reading this one and LOVED it!)
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- Breaking Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
- unknown... because I don't usually read scary books, I don't have many in my "to be read" pile, so I'll have to investigate. Gee a trip to Barnes & Noble will really break my heart - LOL
- UPDATE: "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly (recommended by a friend)
- UPDATE: " The Thirtheenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield
- (I found out it doesn't necessarily have to be SCARY, it can also be about the supernatural, preternatural, etc... that makes it easier since I love Vampires, werewolves and stuff like that... yippee!)
So - onward and upward - woo hoo!!
