  2. Watched a movie, thought about books to read. That is a start at least.

  3. is it cheating to start with a picture book that is essentially 26 pages? it is quite the delectable appetizer.

  23. Wow no.114 I'm so impressed that there are so many reviews up already. I actually started reading Above Ground: The Affected Parade by A M Harte just before the challenge began. Then when I finished I thought it would be perfect for this. Please go check it out because it is a new piece of writing and can use all the support.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  81. Passed The Peril the First some time ago, but have only just posted my fourth R.I.P. review, so only now do I feel that I have succeeded in this challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Got at least one movie for the Peril on the Screen portion of the challenge! I guess I've sort of completed the whole thing. Super great time!

    ReplyDelete
  83. We have 3 reviews just posted:
    One translated crime thriller - The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbo, another court room thriller - Buying Time, and Dracula in audio.

    The last post contains some pictures we took in Whitby, England - a year or so ago where a portion of the story of Dracula is set.

    Very pretty and Gothic. The Abbey is amazing!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  87. I'm extremely slow but I did finish ONE book for the challenge! I may need to downgrade my challenge level from Peril the Second to Peril the Third, if that is permissible...

    ReplyDelete
