Hello, my dears! I have a very exciting announcement today: THE GRAPHICS READATHON! Ellyn invited me to help out with this readathon and I am so excited, especially because it aligns perfectly with some new goals of mine (which you’ll see in my next blog post), plus I love Ellyn to death and just think everything she touches turns to gold, so if you aren’t following her, take a second to fix that real quick. ♥ And then, keep scrolling for all the readathon details!
The Graphics Readathon…
- begins February 25th, 2020 at 12:00AM (your time)
- ends March 3rd, 2020 at 11:59PM (your time)
- includes graphic novels, comics, and manga!
This is a super chill readathon with no big requirements or challenges, so we hope you’ll join us for at least a few reads!
Now, on to my readathon TBR!
I’m feeling adventurous, plus graphic novels tend to be quick reads, so I set a pretty ambitious TBR! Some of these are books I own and some will be Hoopla and Kindle Unlimited loans — and a few will actually be rereads!

February 25, 2020While I won’t be joining the graphicathon, this does remind me that I need to read some graphic novels. I see that Overdrive has Naruto and I have been meaning to dive into those. Sigh, so many books. lol.
