At the end of 2020, I announced my intention to participate in the Bout of Books Readathon, which took place from January 4th through the 10th. Having just completed this readathon, I wanted to take some time to discuss my thoughts about my experience as a participant. This was my first time participating in Bout…
Manga vs. Anime – Ghost Hunt
Toward the end of October, I had the opportunity to once again participate in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. During the Readathon I chose to focus my attention on several comic books, manga, and graphic novels, which I have been reviewing over the past few weeks. The final series that I read during this time…
The Hobbit, Graphic Novel Edition
As you know, last month I had the opportunity to participate in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. Unlike previous Readathons, where I tried to read a variety of literary genres and styles, this time I elected to read (almost) exclusively comic books, manga, and graphic novels. One of the books I was most excited to…
Manga vs. Anime – Saiyuki
Toward the end of October, I had the opportunity to participate in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. During this time, I was able to read a considerable number of comic books, manga, and graphic novels. One of the series that I chose to re-read was Saiyuki, by Kazuya Minekura. Saiyuki is a modern adaptation of…
Comic Book vs. Movie – V for Vendetta
Over the past week, I've been reviewing the titles that I read during the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. Today, however, in honor of Guy Fawkes Day (otherwise known as Bonfire Night), I've decided to take a quick break from my Readathon reviews to shine a spotlight on one of the books I read this week...V…
The Way of the Househusband, Volume Four
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to read some great comic books, manga, and graphic novels while I was participating in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. I had a tremendous amount of fun, and I was especially excited to continue reading one of my favorite new manga series...Kouseke Oono's The Way of the Househusband.…
Cemetery Girl
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to participate in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. Even though the Readathon completely destroyed my typical sleep schedule, which has led to a significant number of impromptu naps over the past couple of days, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to spend the day reading...especially since I was…
Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, October 2020: Challenge Complete!
It's currently a little after 8 AM, and the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon has just ended. The past six hours went pretty well. I did end up taking another 90 minute nap during this section of the challenge, but I was also able to finish reading Ghost Hunt, volumes 1-11. During the past 24 hours,…
Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, October 2020: Six Hours Remaining
We're now eighteen hours into the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon! The past six hours have gone pretty well, though I did end up needing to take more than one break. My first break, which lasted about 30 minutes, was to watch Garfield's Halloween Adventure as part of my Halloween Horror Movie-thon. I also took a…
Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, October 2020: The Halfway Point
We've reached the halfway point of the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon! This has been a great Readathon so far! I've really enjoyed the books I've been reading, and I feel like I'm doing pretty well in terms of energy. I am probably going to be taking a nap sometime in the next six hours, but…
