Graphic Novel Challenge 2013


I just stumbled across this challenge, and I am going to throw my name in.This sounds like a fun challenge that to be honest, I have already completed. Level 1 asks that you read 12 graphic novels this year or 1 a month. Level two is just double that so 24 Graphic novels this year. Currently I have read 26, and I have 3 more waiting to be read.

I am a huge comic book fan, and this is a perfect opportunity to track how many titles I have read this year. This way I can set a higher goal next year and challenge myself more. Since I am so late in the game here I will not be taking part of the Advanced game which requires you read certain types of Graphic novels. Since I'm starting late I will only be doing the basic challenge. Maybe next year I will get more into it when the 2014 challenge starts.

The challenge can be found at Graphic Novel Challenge 2013, and it isn't to late to sign up if you want to join. I have been told that all reviews read this year will count. Here are the links to my reviews so far this year. Most of them are on Goodreads.com since I haven't been blogging that long, but the most recent ones can be found here on my blog.

    I am not a big graphic novel reader, as you know, but your post has encouraged me to start reading my Agatha Christie graphic novels, so thank you for that! :-)

      You should. Comics are still stories like any other book, it is just paired with artwork. I have always loved comics as you know and all of these graphic novels allow me to catch up on what I have missed since I stopped buying monthly issues.

    Welcome to the Challenge! I love your list; we seem to be like-minded. Nice to see another Dredd fan! I also love Zenoscope's book. Sleepy Hollow was great and I particularly love the Jungle Book series. I've got all the Alice books lined up for the (hopefully) near future and also a big DC esp. Justice League fan. Glad to have you with us! I'll add you to the sidebar today.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
