R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril, VIII
- What: From Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings’ sign-up post: “Eight years ago I became aware of reading challenges and wanted to start one of my own, hoping to find others who shared my Autumnal predilection for the works of Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Bram Stoker and other authors contemporary and classic who captured the spirit of gothic literature. As I do each and every year, there are multiple levels of participation (Perils) that allow you to be a part of R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril without adding the burden of another commitment to your already busy lives.”

- When: September 1st through October 31st

This might be my last Utah and Online events post. Since I got pretty much all of this information from The King’s English Facebook page, I feel like this post isn’t necessary. I will start sharing these events on my Facebook page where you can easily join the event and have it automatically added to your calendar and Facebook will nag you to go! :) But if you guys really like these posts, I will keep doing them. I love spreading the word about book signings so if you find out about them here I don’t want you to miss out! Let me know I guess what you think.

Whew! That was a butt-load of book signings! Are you going to any of them?
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
There are so many bookish events in Utah! I love that! I visited Salt Lake and I loved it. Such clean air! *sigh* I am looking forward to the read-a-thon! YEAH and don’t forget http://bloggiesta.com too!
Oh I forgot to put bloggiesta on here! *face palm* I’m excited to do your challenge! I love Bloggiesta :)
