Hi everyone. welcome or welcome back to my blog if you’re new! I’ve been co-hosting the Graphicsathon for a few years now with some of my blogging friends and it’s finally that time of year again! We’re back for round 5 and this round we’re switching things up! Last year we ended the year with a cramathon weekend where we tried to read whatever was left on our tbr for the year. And to kick off 2022 and keep ourselves accountable we’re reading a graphic every day of February, 28 in total!
Our main goal for the readathon is to read a graphic every day but we recognise that everyone’s day looks different and that 28 is a big number so we’re still counting it as a big win if everyone reads every day, even if it’s just a page of your current graphic! We still want this to be a laid back readathon, this is just a fun challenge so don’t pressure yourselves to read 28 if that isn’t an attainable goal for you! It can be 28 graphics read in 28 days or you could modify the goal to reading for 28 days (not necessarily finishing 28 things. It’s up to you and I can’t wait to see all your tbrs and wrap ups! 💕
So, what counts as a graphic?
Anything with images! Comics, graphics novels, manga, picture books. If it uses pictures/images as a main storytelling device, it counts!
- Dates: February 1st – 28th (your time, starts 12:00 AM and ends 11:59 PM)
- Hosts: Becca and Me!
prompts?
No other specific prompts for this round, but our goal is to read 28 graphics in 28 days so you can obviously count that as a prompt/challenge if you like!
But if you are a prompt/goal-oriented person we do have a bingo board and a spin wheel of past challenges!
The top 3 squares: 2021 release, a 5 star prediction, a different format
The middle 3 squares: continue a series, free space, backlist title
The bottom 3 squares: a character who identitifies differently than you do, yellow on the cover, a graphic from your tbr
our buddy read pick
Experience the propulsive love story of two Greek gods—Hades and Persephone—brought to life with lavish artwork and an irresistible contemporary voice.
Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology’s most well-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe. Featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story, Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated web-comic Lore Olympus brings the Greek Pantheon into the modern age with this sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.

what’s on my tbr?
Feel free to use this first graphic to show us your tbr or to keep track of your progress throughout February!
I’ve included my tbr as an example to keep track of it all too and hopefully, I’ll have a full one at the end of the month too. I’ve tried to include different graphic types as well as different genres and character types to try and fit past prompts. Most of these I also have ebook copies of either on my Kindle app or on Lbby which will be super helpful for me since I know I’ll be reading most of these before work in the mornings. I can’t wait to see what’s on all of your tbrs!
reading sprints!
We’re also going to be running some reading sprints throughout the month and we’ve included the times and dates above. I’ll be leaving this here in my bog post announcement but I will also post the times on Twitter!

Ooooh, so exciting! I’m going to join in for sure, though I don’t think I will be doing the 28-in-28 portion of the challenge! But I’m excited to read as many graphics as I can 🙂

Yay, I’m so glad you’ll join! Honestly I have no idea if I will be able to do 28 in 28 either but my goal is just to read every day!

SO excited for the GraphicsAThon! 🥰 I will also be picking up the buddy read Lore Olympus, because I kept hearing so much about it & I’m very curious to see what all the hype is about 😊

What does “a different format” on the bingo board mean?
LikeLiked by 1 person
A different format means that you read it in a different way to your usual. For example, if you usually read graphics physically you might try an ebook or audiobook! Or even, if you usually read graphics you own, you might try a library copy.
I hope this helps!

Thank you! I thought that was what it meant but wanted to make sure.
