Graphicsathon, Round 6: an announcement & my TBR!

July 5, 2022

Guess who’s co-hosting Graphicsathon again?

As many of you may remember, a few years back, I co-hosted the Graphicsathon readathon’s first few rounds! If you’re not familiar with the readathon, it’s dedicated to reading graphic novels, manga, and comics, and we always have so much fun. I had to take a break from co-hosting due to life getting in the way, but I’M BACK, BAY-BEE!

Dates: July 11th to 17th, 2022. Time: 12AM to 11:59PM your time zone.

I always make way too big of a TBR for this readathon because I think I can fly through 20 graphics a day, every day, but this knowledge did not stop me from using ALL the Hoopla loans AND prioritizing some re-reads! 😂 I only put the first volume of each series in the list, but have borrowed multiple installments from a few of these series from the library/Hoopla.

🍰 Harrow County // Cullen Bunn → adult horror → re-reading the first volume to continue!
🍰 Bone Parish // Cullen Bunn → adult horror → re-reading the first TWO volumes to continue/finish!
🍰 The Graveyard Book // Neil Gaiman & P. Craig Russell → MG fantasy/horror
🍰 I Want to Eat Your Pancreas // Yoru Sumino → YA contemporary
🍰 Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls // Scott Snyder → adult fantasy
🍰 ExtraOrdinary // V.E. Schwab → adult sci-fi/fantasy

🍰 Blackwater // Jeannette Arroyo → YA fantasy → review copy
🍰 Crumbs // Danie Stirling → YA fantasy → review copy
🍰 The Conjuring: The Lover // David Lesli Johnson-McGoldrick → adult horror
🍰 The Nice House on the Lake // James Tynion IV → adult horror
🍰 Frizzy // Claribel A. Ortega → MG contemporary → review copy
🍰 Over My Dead Body // Sweeney Boo → YA fantasy → review copy

🍰 Wait Till Helen Comes // Mary Downing Hahn → MG horror → review copy
🍰 Himawari House // Harmony Becker → YA contemporary
🍰 All My Friends Are Ghosts // S.M. Vidaurri → MG fantasy
🍰 The Me You Love in the Dark // Skottie Young → adult horror
🍰 The Boys // Garth Ennis → adult horror/fantasy
🍰 Alice Ever After // Dan Panosian → adult horror/fantasy

And of course, I’ll be re-reading Chef’s Kiss for the readathon buddy read! I adored this as an eARC and can’t wait to revisit it!

Our buddy read: Chef's Kiss by Jarrett Melendez. The book is new adult, queer (m/m), workplace romance, has great friendships, a food focus, and a taste-testing pig. The book has a gay main character, gay love interest, and BIPOC side characters.

    1. Well I hadn’t planned on participating in anything else this month but I think I might try this if I can find something for each prompt.

    1. Hmmm.. this is amazing and I might have to low-key take part!!! I have a few of these on my TBR!

    1. Def low-key participating; I HAVS a HUGE bag of graphic novels & comics & webtoon eps saved for this but Ayyyy yiy yiy ngl life has been SO chaotic (had my infusion yesterday, leaving for a 4 day vacation I don’t want to go on tomorrow, & RA flare-up so bad I can barely (mostly not) walk so I’m trying to rest as much as possible but I’m just so anxious to get done what I need to get doneeeeee) Lmao. BUT I AM TRYING TO POWER THROUGH & PARTICIPATE! I may not be able to, but I’m aiming for one for each prompt at least & I’ll be satisfied methinks(!)— Gotta tamp down that chronic perfectionism ?, due to having SOMUCH going on!!!!. I’m so excited though, SERIOUSLY!!!! AND I’m SO happy your blog is regularly gracing my feed again; LOVE that you’re hosting this, lovely, kicking ass & taking names ?!!! ???

      1. Awww I hope you feel better soon and get the chance to participate! And I hope your trip doesn’t go too badly and is over soon so you can come home and get the rest you need! ♥ ty lovely!

    1. I couldn’t participate this time, but I hope you’re having fun ? Let me know what you think of ExtraOrdinary I have been eyeing this one for a while ? Crumbs looks SO cute!! ?

Say hello! ♥
