    Cool challenge, Carl! I'm excited about this one! I wasn't disappointed last time when I tried a genre that I don't usually read...the Sci-Fi challenge! You are very inspiring :D

    Have a Great Labor Day Weekend and Happy Reading!

    The book I reviewed at my site, Professor B. Worm, is The Cellar by Richard Laymon. Both the book and the review are horrorful.

    Hi Carl!

    I had to re-post my 2 reviews -- they are now 201 & 202. My old site got hacked to pieces. Twice in 24hrs this time. An ongoing problem. . .so I have set up new digs here: http://blacklinsreadingroom.blogspot.com/. My "new" site name is Blacklin's Reading Room. Sorry for double posting.

    I just posted my first review for this challenge. In the Woods by Tana French but I don't think I linked it correctly in Mr Linky.

    Thank you so much for hosting this challenge - it's perfect for Fall. I'm working on Peril the Second - I'm not brave enough yet for Peril the First. My review for Walter Moers' The Alchemaster's Apprentice is up.... it's a dark comedy/fantasy which I thought was a good read for all ages. Enjoy!

    Ya know, I forgot about the bad part of reading challenges when my TBR pile is already falling over in several piles of books. There are so many books that I want to read among the reviews I may never catch up on my reading.
