R.I.P. V wrap-up!
15 November, 2010
This year’s R.I.P. V Challenge flew by quicker than I expected. Although I did complete the requisite number of books, I still wanted to read more and dive into the whole dark and gothic feel of approaching winter with my whole being. But I think my mind was on too many other books.
My original list of books I was planning to read for R.I.P. V had six books. So what did I end up reading? Check it!
The Killer of Pilgrims by Susanna Gregory
Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
The Weed that Strings the Hangman’s Bag by Alan Bradley
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest by Stieg Larsson
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
Seeking Whom He May Devour by Fred Vargas
The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox
Looking back on what I’ve read, I’m actually impressed that I read 4/6 books on my original list (I didn’t manage to fit in Steven Erikson’s Deadhouse Gates and Attica Locke’s Black Water Rising) plus 3 extra. Go me! And I enjoyed every single one of them:)
At least we know we can look forward to all the fun again next year because I’m definitely doing it again! Thank you Carl aka Stainless Steel Droppings for hosting this amazing challenge. Now to start compiling my list…

Is that The Woman in Black? Only 2 of them are actually the latest, as I’ve got loads of old books to read:)

Hahaha, absolutely. Are you no longer on your crime-spree reading? Or crime-reading spree?

Nope, no crime lately. Mainly fantasy: Mieville’s Un Lun Dun, Diana Wynne Jones’ Merlin Conspiracy, Andrzej Sapkowski’s Blood of Elves, Jesse Bullington’s The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart.

Haven’t read any of them although I’ve heard of them (plus you recommended the last title to me.) Hope you are going to write about them!

I always want to throw myself completely into a certain ‘type’ of book and then end up distracted too! lol
