The Bookstore Challenge 2023 - hosted by beckyramone

July - a book that's 500+ pages and/or a graphic novel
Because a 500+ page book is hard for us to complete, we will be reading only one, along with a graphic novel. You can do the same, or you can just read the long book, or just graphic novels.
All books added
