Graphic Novel Reading Challenge 2014

Posted January 4, 2014 by shooting in Uncategorized / 17 Comments

I’ll be the first to admit it, but I don’t do challenges very well. I tend to run out of time to finish them or I simply forget to keep track. However, I tried to read more graphic novels last year and I know I will continue to in 2014, so I figured it would be fun to take part in the Graphic Novel Reading Challenge.

I have a review for a graphic novel coming up, but I read it last year, so that won’t count. However, the next graphic novel I pick up to read will be the start of my challenge. I think I can do quite well with this one, but I’m going to start slow.

Graphic Novels Read:

1. The Lost Boy by Greg Ruth- book review
2.Batgirl/Robin- Year One – book review
3. The Undertaking of Lily Chen – book review
4. The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story – book review
5. Batman: Li’l Gotham – book review
6. Dr. Horrible and Other Horrible Stories by Zack Whedon – book review
7. Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol – book review 
8. Hidden by Loic Dauvillier – book review
9.  Adolf: A Tale of the Twentieth Century by Osamu Tezuka- book review
10. Identity Crisis by Brad Meltzer- book review 
11. Coffin Hill: Forest of Night – book review 
12. Batman: The Long Halloween – book review 
13. Welcome to Nursing HELLo by Joel Craig- book review 
14. The Plain Janes – book review
15. Brain Camp- book review  
16. Tina’s Mouth – book review
17.  Young Miss Holmes- book review
18. The Shadow Hero by Gene Luen Yang- book review 
19. Through the Woods by Emily Carrol – book review  
20. The Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue Presents Macbeth – book review  
21. MIND MGMT Volume 1: The Manager by Matt Kindt- book review
22. Batman and Son – book review 

There are three levels, but I’m going to start at the bottom:

Modern Age: read and review 12 books during the year (that’s only 1 book a month)

I have finished the Modern Age (yay!) and now I’m moving up to-

 Bronze Age: read and review 24 books during the year

What about you, though? Are you taking part in any book challenges this year? Best of luck!

  1. I will not be signing up for any because I completely fail at challenges! I forget to do things like link back to the challenge or I never read all (or any) of the books I planned. Lol! Good luck to you, though! 🙂

  2. The only graphic novel I've ever read was "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi. It was amazingly good! I should try others…

    I think my primary reading challenge for 2014 is going to be to through 1 book a month. I used to go through a book a WEEK, at least, but it's a little tougher with a toddler! Boo… 😉

  3. What a fun challenge! I love a good graphic novel!

    I am not going to participate in ANY reading challenges this year because I never finish them! LOL I am so easily distracted but I do live vicariously through everybody else's challenges (and grow my reading list! LOL)

    Have fun!

  4. I'm doing a different graphic novel challenge this year, but I'm so excited. I read a ton of graphic novels as it is, since I have a feature devoted to them, but any excuse to buy more is right up my alley. Good luck with it!

  5. Me too. I've been trying to add graphic novels into my mix since last year. I wanted to recommend a good one for you, Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened… by Allie Brosh
