Pictures Challenge

[tamsin]

This is a challenge for all books with a focus on pictures. This includes comics, graphic novels, art books, picture books and anything else that fits this theme for you.

I have a lot of comics piled up and thought this would be a nice way for us to start into the new year.

Would any of you like to join in? What do you plan to tackle?

I don't have a lot of time for personal reading in the next fortnight, but I'd like to at least finish one of the following

• I'm partway through the graphic non-fiction with text by George Takei about internment camps in USA during WWII that I'd really like to have the energy to finish (it is not light reading).
• Stars in Their Eyes which I think is part memoir? I remember being very excited when I got it, and then have just not had time to read it.
• Books 2 & 3 in the Witch Boy series, while I still remember what the story of the first volume was!
• volumes 2 & 3 of Once and Future (weird modern day Arthurian whatsit)
• Persepolis, given someone else is going to be reading it, and that might motivate me more than anything else!

Glad you're joining in! I really enjoyed Persepolis, I hope you will too.
Since the challenge seems to be popular, I'll host it again a bit later in the year. I always have graphic novels to catch up on.

Later in the year sounds fabulous. I, too, have many graphic novels to catch up on -- I've been buying them for Youngest, who reads them at a much greater rate than I, so I have all of the ones they recommend to get through!
