By I’ve been reading, I swear it!! I accepted this challenge for 2 reasons: 1. I’m traveling for the summer and have no TV 2. In having no TV but having internet, I want to make sure I don’t spend the whole summer in a YouTube wormhole, which so often happens to us all. OH! and 3. I’m a new mom and want to make sure I’m doing something for myself every day. Even if it’s reading one page.
The List:
1. Paper Towns – John Green
2. The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
3. Looking for Alaska – John Green
4. An Abundance of Katherines – John Green (I know there’s a pattern here, I want to read all his books before they’re all turned into teenage wasteland films)
5. Deadpool: Secret Invasion
6. Saga
7. Civil War – Marvel
8. Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation – Bill Nye
9. & 10. His Dark Materials – Phillip Pulman (It’s a trilogy, but I’m counting it as 2 books because it’s more young adult stuff)
**5,6&7 are hardcover graphic novels
Open Arts Spring 2023 
Nice list! Welcome to the party =)
Looking forward to a comparitive analysis of all your John Green books!!
Also, The Lovely Bones is a wonderful book– it is a tough read, but well worth the emotional turmoil.
I have never read a graphic novel before, and so I wanted to put one on my list this year to see what it’s like!!

Thank you! Lovely Bones is really tough. I lock my doors when I open it. That’s the sign of a good book though!

Are you new to Saga or have you been reading it the last year? I am patiently (impatiently!) waiting for the next volume to come out. I read a lot of comics and graphic novels (mostly independent non marvel/dc) if you ever need some suggestions! Pulmans His Dark Materials were a trilogy I devoured. The movie adaptation is a pale pale shade of the books. I look forward to hearing what you think of them.

I’m new to saga but my husband is the one who suggested it. He’s in love. His Dark Materials is a trilogy I’ve been meaning to read, and since we named our daughter Lyra, it seemed necessary.
