R.I.P Challenge VI - The End

It is hard to believe that the R.I.P. Challenge is over for another year. I am hoping to get some time later in the week to work on large-scale reviewing because there are lots of R.I.P. reads that I still haven't spent time writing up thoughts for and really want to. I had a lot of fun with this challenge between reading books, joining in for group reads, and even slipping in a few movies. I look forward to next years!

  8. Holy Smokes, Kailana! You read the pants off me (so to speak :). I loved The Woman in White, but the other book in your list which I really wanted to read and haven't yet is The Night Circus. The library has it, and I have it on hold, but I feel like I'll be waiting until the RIP VII.

  10. Congratulations! That is an impressive list and they aren't all short books either - I've just spotted Jonathan Strange on your list - it took me about 4 months to read that one!
