You guys are wearing me down. What I just realized is that I have enough of qualifying books on my shelves to do the challenge already. I may have to succumb…
I’ve been waiting for R.I.P. ever since I first heard about it. I figure I’m spending my first blogging year learning which challenges I can actually finish!
I too fell for it. I have so many books lined up for it.
RIP IV read list
I’ve been waiting for this one since I first read about it!
Ooh, I look forward to hearing what books you come up with! I broke down and joined this too…I’d planned not to do anymore challenges this year, but this broke my resolve.
Amanda- I figure I’m spending my first year as a blogger learning about challenges and figuring out which ones I will actually finish! I am really excited about R.I.P.
wow, TWO wilke collins books AND the Historian on the list!! You do like to challenge yourself LOL.. I read the Historian last year and enjoyed it, and have the woman in white on my list but unsure if I will get to it.. too many books so little time!
Who knows if I’ll get to them all. I keep adding books to my list!
Such a deliciously eerie line up! Love your potential choices.
Thank you so much for coming along for the fun this year. I am so glad you are going to be a part of this year’s R.I.P. Challenge and hope you have a great time with it.
Thank you for creating this fabulous challenge, Carl – I’ve been waiting for R.I.P. since I first heard about it
What a great set of books Gavin!! The Historian is absolutely amazing. Enjoy it!!
Thanks Chris! Now I’m running around looking at everyone else’s lists! So many great books..
I read THe Historian for another RIP challenge and really enjoyed it. Happy reading!!
I am really excited about all the books on my list for R.I.P. The Historian is waiting for me at the library.
This is such a fantastic challenge so glad to see you are joining in! I keep seeing Wilkie Collins showing up on a lot of lists. I just started The Woman in White and think it’ll be the perfect read for the challenge.
Anyway, have fun!
