December Reads
And here we come to the conclusion of our 2012 Graphic Novel Challenge! This is our month to catch up and finish off the challenge. So many of you are close!
Congratulations to Jim for completing the challenge and then some!
Next year, the challenge will run the same way with the basic challenge to read and review 12 graphic novels over the course of the year. However, I thought I'd mix it up and add some variety by adding themed challenges/levels as well. What I have planned will be a lot of fun and add some excitement but for those who don't like change the basic way we've always played will still be an option. I will also be changing one rule on how we keep track of how many books you've read. You'll be responsible for reporting in, rather than me keeping tally but more on that in January.
For now, let's see how many can join the nine of us who have completed the 2012 Challenge by the end of the year. Are you up to it??

September Reads
August was a successful month for us, with lots of combined reading. Congratulations to Sandy for completing the challenge this month!
John has quickly moved up the ranks from near the bottom to closing in on the finish line.
Several people are moving steadily up in the ranks and, alas, we seem to have lost a few participants who are sitting at 1,2, or 3 books read & reviewed and not moving.
As always we have a very eclectic mix of genres represented. I love the varied selection this group is representing! But we do seem to have a small Fables & Superheroes theme this month. I'm thrilled to see our first Asterix comic added to the list. Keep up the great reviews people! We are entering our last quarter of this years challenge.
