It's all about reading the classics reinterpreted by the Graphic Novel medium. Head on over to this post to learn more about how to sign up. She also has a super awesome button for the mini-challenge!

Work behind the scenes is still going on and we're at work still compiling a list of recommended Graphic Novels for the newbie to the medium! So you can expect that still, we're just a little behind schedule with the holidays :/ And you should see a Mr. Linky appear in the next day or so that will allow you to link up all of your reviews for the month of January so that we'll have a central place to collect some awesome reviews.

As always, if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us at the challenge email address: graphicnovelschallenge(at)gmail(dot)com or just leave a comment in the comments section!! Above all, have fun!! And if you haven't signed up for the challenge yet, please do!! Sign-ups are open all throughout the year, so hop on in whenever you feel like it! The Mr. Linky is found just a post or two down to sign up :) There are still spots open if you're interested in hosting a mini-challenge, by the way. Just let us know at the above email address. I'm off to bury myself in a book now!
