Frightful, Delightful Challenges

R.I.P (Readers Imbibing Peril) V (Sept. 1 - Oct. 31)
Even though it's still a million degrees outside here in Arizona, it is September. That means it's time for Carl's annual challenge celebrating all things frightful. I love R.I.P.
This year, I'm going with Peril the First, which involves reading four books that fit into the very broad categories outlined on Carl's blog. Although this list is subject to change (revised 9/17), I plan to read:
1. The Devouring by Simon Holt (paranormal/horror)
2. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare (paranormal) (Review)
3. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (dystopian) (Review)
4. Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill (historical/Salem witch trials) (Review)
That's the plan, anyway. We'll see how I do :)
The Contemps Challenge (now - August 15, 2011)
You know that crowd of YA authors with debut novels coming out in 2010-11? Not all those writing paranormal books, but the ones penning contemporary fiction. Well, here's a challenge celebrating them. The challenge involves committing to read at least 18 of the 21 novels the authors have published/will be publishing between now and August 2011. I'm going to list all of them and just read whichever I can get my hands on. Here they are (in order of publication):
THE DUFF by Kody Keplinger (Sept. 27, 2010) - review
Girl, Stolen by April Henry (Sept. 28, 2010) - review
Freefall by Mindy Scott (Oct. 5, 2010)
