💖 Graphicsathon Round 8: The Comfort Round Announcment! MARCH 1 – 7! 💖

~ Ellyn ~ 1 Comment

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! It’s been a while because, over the last few weeks, I’ve been busy both reading like a crazy person and getting ready for the next round of my readathon dedicated to reading graphics,=; Graphcisathon! Somehow we’re in round 8 now and since we loved having a theme last time, we’ve decided to stick with that idea this time around too and we’ve dubbed this one the ‘comfort round!’. So, the prompts revolve around reading nostalgic faves and staying in your comfort zone because sometimes that’s just the nicest place to be. So, for the first week of March, we’ll be surrounding ourselves with our favourite graphics and reading as many as we can!

Follow our Twitter here & join the graphicsathon Discord here! We’ll be doing reading sprints throughout the readathon and we also have a buddy read and prompts so it’s going to be a lot of fun and I know we’re going to have some great discussions. I’m really looking forward to reading with you all!

Quick Info ↓

  • Dates: March 1 – 7

Prompts ↓

  • a reread
  • a graphic you think will be a new favourite
  • continue a series
  • a nostalgic graphic (whatever nostalgic means for you)
  • a graphic that makes you feel happy

Graphicsathon Round 6 Announcement (dates, prompts + my tbr)

~ Ellyn ~ 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog if you’re new! I’ve been co-hosting the Graphicsathon since 2020 and we’re officially up to round 6 now! Last round we read for an entire month but we’re officially past the halfway mark of the year now so we thought we’d make it short and sweet with one week of catching up on our goodreads goals and getting to the graphics we told ourselves we’d read in the first half of the year!

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!

Hello everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! I’ve been a bit MIA lately because of work but, I think I’m finally back with a bit of time to think and sit down for more than 5 seconds, so I’m quickly writing up this post! The NSFW readathon is coming up in June and I am 100% participating! I’m not sure if I’m going to start on June 1st or the week before but, either way, I’m really excited to get stuck into some good romance book!

✨ Graphicsathon round 5 announcement! ✨ | my tbr + recommendations 💕

~ Ellyn ~ 10 Comments

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! 💕

Graphicsathon Round 4 Announcement!

~ Ellyn ~ 5 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m just doing a short but informative post to announce round four of the Graphicsathon! I’ve been running this readathon for a while now and I’ve seriously been loving reading graphics with you all so I figured why not keep it going! And, this round we even have some fantastic new hosts AND we’re hosting sprints for the first time ever! (details at the end of this post)

So, what is Graphicsathon? It’s a readathon dedicated to anything told in graphic (aka. anything where the main storytelling devices is illustrations) so comics, manga and graphic novels all count! We’re also pretty calm about the rules so you can read web comics or even listen to them on audiobook if that’s a mode available to you (I know a lot of comics and graphic novels like Nimona or Ms Marvel are available via audio), it’s all about reading graphics!

I’ll have my tbr coming soon so you can look forward to that! What will you be reading for round four?
