I participated in the horror reading challenge last year, and ended up reading way more horror books than I had to for the challenge. But I love horror, so I want to participate in the challenge again. Like last year, I’m aiming for the highest level, “Horror Hounds”, which means, reading 16+ horror books.

The challenge is now hosted by Cornerfolds and Books, Movies, Reviews, Oh My!. If you want to sign up for it, please go here. And don’t forget to tell me you signed up so I can follow your progress.

By the way, this challenge has some gorgeous banners this year. I hope to earn them all!

I love reading horror. Last year, I didn’t keep track of how many horror novels I read, and I’m hoping to change that this year by participating in the 2014 Horror Reading Challenge hosted by Midnyte Reader.

I’m planning to go for the highest level, “Horror Hounds”, which means I’ll have to read more than 16+ horror books.
