Autumn Challenges

Seattle weather hasn't clued in yet (we are getting our hottest weather of the summer this week!), but Autumn is 17 days away!
I know!
Shocking!
There are a couple of reading challenges that have been staples in the book blogging world for many years--and they are both back again this year.

The first one is the RIP 6 hosted by Carl. I posted briefly about it the other day, but this will by my formal post--
I guess I am choosing Peril the 2nd--requiring the reading of 2 books. In actuality I am choosing 4 and hoping to finish at least 3 of them.
  • The Girl Who Would Speak For the Dead--finished
  • The Haunting of Hill House
  • Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children--finished
  • 666 Park Avenue-finished



The second challenge is the Fall into Reading Challenge hosted by Calapidder Days. This is one of the first challenges I ever signed up for, many moons ago.


My book choices for this one include the ones I read for the above challenge and these:

  • Swimming With Maya
  • The Year is '42
  • With This Ring, I'm Confused
  • Fidelity
  • Hannah Coulter
  • Nightengale Wood
  • Prayer's For Sale--finished
  • Undomestic Goddess--finished
  • Quality of Life Report--finished
  • Knitting: a novel
  • Dreams of Joy--finished
  • Room
Are any of you up to these two challenges? Go check out the challenge pages for them!

  2. I really liked Quality of Life Report.

    I have never joined a challenge, just because I have enough trouble trying to find time to read the books I want - seems like a challenge would just add more pressure!

    Sorry to hear you have been sick. Rest and take care of yourself - hope you feel better soon!

  3. I finished the RIP VI challenge already! I was in the mood for mystery, thrillers and ghosts. I enjoyed With The Ring, hope you do as well.

    Good luck!

  6. I have Room and Hannah Coulter on my want-to-read list...they just didn't make it onto my Fall Into Reading list. :) Thanks for being part of Fall Into Reading 2011. Enjoy your fall reading!

  7. Sounds like an interesting list for both reading challenges. I'm participating in Fall into Reading for the first time. Read "Room" a while ago. Found it disturbing to read. Interested in your thoughts. RIP 6 sounds like an interesting challenge. Don't think I can handle being in two challenges at the same time but am going to check it out
