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

  10. 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.

  17. 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!

  18. Just posted the most recent review, really enjoyed this challenge, I may be more ambitious next year and try for peril the first. Still enjoying reading everyone's reviews, I have discovered a few books to add to my wish list. Thank you.

  19. I am half way through - and decided (and reading) the previously undecided 4th book - Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror by Chris Priestly - what a WOW, WOW, WOW book - in fact all the books I have read so far have been wow!!

  22. 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.
