Wrap Up of 11th Annual Manga/Graphic Novel Reading Challenge

I read 16 books for the 11th Annual Manga/Graphic Novel Reading Challenge.  I signed up to read 24 books at the Bronze Level so I fell short with this challenge.  Below is a list of the books that I read:

Portugal by Cyril Pedrosa
Sabrina by Nick Drnaso
Berlin by Jason Lutes
The Arab of the Future 3 by Riad Sattouf
Leaving China by James McMullan
Zahra's Paradise by Amir Khalil
Rosalie Lightning by Tom Hart
Brazen by Penelope Bagieu
Palestine by Joe Sacco
The Photographer by Didier Lefevre
March-Book 1 by John Lewis
March-Book 2 by John Lewis
March-Book 3 by John Lewis
Burma Chronicles by Guy Delisle
Poppies of Iraq by Brigitte Findakly
Brew Harder by Dan Dougherty

Favorite Book:  Berlin by Jason Lutes.  This book is simply a masterpiece.  It tells the story of the fall of the Weimar Republic from 1928-1933.  The City of Berlin is the protagonist of the story.

Second Favorite Book:  Brazen, Rebel Ladies who Rocked the World by Penelope Bagieu.  This book was very inspirational to me.  It contains mini biographies of 30 women from antiquity to the present who changed their society.

Least Favorite Book:  Rosalie Lightning by Tom Hart.  This book was too depressing for me. It did give an accurate depiction of parental grief over the death of a child but having never been through the experience, it was too dark.
