Jackson's Blog


Jackson has a new blog! He has become obsessed with graphic novels (basically fancy comic books, but many of them are quite long and they actually come in a variety of genres) lately, and while I know reading is reading, they aren't really a challenge for him.

So I thought he could sign up for a "reading challenge" just for graphic novels, and to complete it, he would have to write a review for each of them. As soon as I suggested this project to him, and mentioned the possibility of his own blog as a central location for his reviews, he got VERY excited...not so much about the reading challenge, but as a place to share pictures of his Legos. :P

We reached a compromise! I helped him set up the blog and I'll teach him how to post, as well as help him upload pictures, etc., and he will do occasional book reviews (he has to do at least 11 in 2011 to fulfill the requirements for the "expert" level in the challenge...with the way he's been going, he'll have the actual reading of those done in the next month, but the reviews are another story). Win-win!

So without further ado, I give you.....LEGOMANIA!
