Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge 2023 - December Update: The Oracle Code & Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed

Happy Thursday everyone!  I can't believe it's already almost 2024!  Anyway, I've now completed all 24 tasks of Book Riot's 2023 Read Harder Challenge.  The two tasks I completed this month required me to read a comic or graphic novel that features disability representation and and a book of short stories and I selected The Oracle Code by Marieke Nijkamp  and Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices From the Latinx Diaspora edited by Saraciea J. Fennel respectively.  Read on to see my mini reviews and keep your eyes out for my plans for the 2024 challenge:

❋ ❋ ❋ 

The Oracle Code by Marieke Nijkamp is for the most part a solid YA standalone graphic novel featuring the  classic DC character Barbara Gordon.  I wasn't all that much of a fan of this particular iteration of the character compared to other outings, but I really appreciated the art style and the mystery itself was decent.  I will need to catch up on more of this author's work in the future.

My review is also on Goodreads.

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋

Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices From the Latinx Diaspora edited by Saraciea J. Fennel is a short YA anthology collection of essays that is well worth your time.  All of the authors involved are incredibly talented.  Some of them I was already familiar with going in, but others I hadn't read before.  Now though I'm going to have to look into them/ get caught up!

My review is also on Goodreads.
