Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge 2024 - July Update: Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 & Drama

Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope everyone's been doing well.  I've now completed 14 tasks for Book Riot's 2024 Read Harder Challenge.  The tasks I completed in July required me to read a manga or manhwa and a comic that has been banned.  I selected Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama and Drama by Raina Telgemeier respectively.  Read on to see my mini reviews and my plans for next month:

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋

Okay, I've got a new favorite in Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama and I can't wait to read the next volume.  The story is awesome and the art looks so cool.  Master Qifrey is my favorite character so far.  I have a feeling this might become an all time favorite series.

My review is also on Goodreads.

I loved Drama by Raina Telgemeier.  It does a good job of bringing middle school to life.  I wonder if those that have challenged/ banned it have actually read it.  Also I used to have one of those slide phones with a keyboard. I miss it!

My review is also on Goodreads.

Next Up For August:

Read a historical fiction book by an Indigenous author.

My choice: The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich - This author is one of my favorites and I can't believe I'd missed this one.

Read a book that went under the radar in 2023.

My choice: Stateless by Elizabeth Wein - Wein has been one of my favorites for YA historical fiction and I can't believe this book hasn't had near the hype of some of her other releases.
