The 2025 #SomethingBookishReadingChallenge - hosted by lipglossmaffia

A Graphic Novel By A Non-Caucasian Author
This is a two-in-one prompt, it's very intentional. Graphic novels are books that use both illustrations and words to tell a story. They come in many diverse genres and are great for even the most reluctant readers. For a long time, graphic novels were considered as the inferior form of literature, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. And we're challenging ourselves so, why not a graphic novel?
