Day 18 of the #ABCbookChallenge - ‘R’ - My pick for today is Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell (Author) & Kris Anka (Illustrator). Vol 1 collects the first 6 episodes of Rowell’s reboot of Vaughan’s original series and what a fantastic reboot it is!! I’ve got Vol 2 & 3 sitting on myself and I'm itching to read them. I don’t think you would need to have read all the previous series by Vaughan to enjoy Rowell’s reboot, she does summarise a little, but It makes it all that much more epic if you are already invested in the characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ABC Challenge goes from the 1st -26th November.
