Wow, R.I.P. VII??? I first joined the R.I.P. adventure back in September of 2008 – RIP III! I can’t belive it’s that time of year again, but as always, am looking forward to the cooler weather, which is a bit relative here in Texas, and some fun books to read for this event! I have a LONG list – I still haven’t read everything I listed 4 years ago…
In looking over my past lists (III, IV, V, VI), I was always so ambitious – so this year I still want to read 5 books for that will fall under the R.I.P. categories, but am only listing books I really think I will read in the next few weeks.

Here’s my list:
- Ashen Winter by Mike Mullen
- Velveteen by Daniel Marks
- Nevermore by Kelly Creagh
- Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Another fun part of this event is the ‘Peril on the Screen’ and my favorite new freak out TV shows are on the Travel Channel – Ghost Adventures and The Dead Files. I love them!
This event is hosted by Carl @ Stainless Steel Droppings and it runs through September and October. Here are some of the details:
Seven years ago that mood birthed R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril, or R.I.P. for short, a participatory event wherein we the people spend however little, or much, time we want over the months of September and October imbibing all things ghastly and ghostly.
The purpose of R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril VII is to enjoy books and movies/television that could be classified (by you) as:
Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above.
I have removed the word “challenge” from this event because it has never really fit. “Challenge” was the lingo back when I first discovered book blogs thus its previous addition to the reading events I host. While I don’t have any personal grudge against folks challenging themselves to read a certain number of books, or books outside their comfort zone, this event is primarily about the great pleasure that can be found in embracing this type of fiction/non-fiction during this season of the year.
There are two simple goals for R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril VII
1. Have fun reading.
2. Share that fun with others.
