Book Lists
I haven't been doing very well with my reading challenge so far, but that's mostly because of the rules I made up for myself. I can't count a book if it's not the first in a series, and I can't count the advance copies of books I receive. I don't know why I implemented these rules, as they render the majority of my recent books ineligible. Oh, well. That's an issue I'll have to take up with myself.
So far I've completed only one challenge: Read a graphic novel. I borrowed this challenge from the Book Riot 2015 Read Harder Challenge. For this challenge, I finished March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell on September 13, 2016. This graphic novel tells the story of the march Martin Luther King, Jr. led from Selma to Montgomery during the fight to win the right to vote for African Americans. The story was interesting, and the novel contained information that the film Selma didn't have time to include. One major issue, though, was the amount of text on each page. Graphic novels usually rely primarily on images to convey their story, but March had a word count more suited to a traditional novel format. If you're a history buff, or just enjoy graphic novels in general, I highly recommend checking out March.
