Peculiar....

I know it's Tuesday and normally I do Teaser Tuesday, but I haven't been reading much this week so I'm not overly inspired...BUT, I stumbled accross this book trailer that I just HAD to share because it is really really cool, and well done.  I heard about this book last week somewhere, I can't remember, in a magazine maybe?  And thought my 11 year old daughter might like it as she is into ghost story scary stuff at the moment.  But now I'm thinking I might like it too!

ANYway, the book is called Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Eric Smith and the blog that posted a review and other cute things about it is over at Bloggin' about Books.

Here's the trailer!

My first Challenge.... oooooo... SCAAARRRRYYYY!!!! (revamped post)

Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
There are two simple goals to the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril Challenge hosted by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings:

1. Have fun reading.

2. Share that fun with others.

R.I.P. IV officially runs from September 1st through October 31st. But lets go ahead and break the rules. Lets start today!!!

I will be doing:

I have officially entered my VERY FIRST reading challenge!  Yikes!     I have signed up for "Peril the Second" which means that I have agreed to read 2 novels of any length in the subgenre of any scary stories I choose!  How cool is that! I see lots of other book bloggers doing various challenges, but most have been running for awhile already, and I have been waiting to catch one at the beginning, and this one fits me well as this is not normally the genre I read, BUT I have enjoyed a scary story or two in my reading life. 

I do not have a reading pool yet, but when I have a look at my stash and google around a bit I'll tell you what I find and then let you know how I do in the challenge!  I have from Sept 1st to Oct 31 to complete it!

How about you, do you think you would take the SCAAARRRYYYY path with me???
