October Readathon: THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

Lori at Psychotic State Book Reviews is hosting a great spooky readathon this October and I hope you’ll join in on the fun. I’m still dividing my time between helping my family but I hope I can get a few books read in there. I have no shortage of things that go bump in the night lining my bookshelves, that’s for sure ;) Join us!

Graphic Novels Mini-Challenge

As part of the Graphic Novels Challenge 2010, I’ve decided to host a mini challenge from 01 January — 31 January 2010 right here on Read All Over.

We all know that the classics are not for everyone. They can be rather daunting and downright tedious at times to read, however, missing out on the wonderful stories they contain is such a shame. So, I thought what better way to spread the classics love than to read them in graphic novel form! That is my challenge to you all: read at least one classic novels in graphic form within the month of January 2010.

To help you out, here’s some great lists to give you some ideas of what to read: The Book Palace, Harris County Public Library, The Complete Guide to Classics Illustrated, and Barnes & Noble. Read more

Graphic Novels Challenge 2010

Yay, my first challenge! *jigs* I’m fairly new to the whole graphic novel scene, to be honest. I’ve only read one so far in life, to my shame and dismay.

However, I’ve decided I will change that in 2010 and that I will participate in the Graphic Novels Challenge under the Intermediate level. Right now I’m planning on reading the following books, but will probably add more as I come across them.

  1. In The Small by Michael Hague
  2. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
  3. The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
  4. Beowulf by Gareth Hinds
  5. Supernatural: Rising Son series by Peter Johnson
  6. The Tenth Doctor Collected Comics by Jonathan Morris
