...Real talk, though: If you've ever thought "I want to read more graphic novels, but I have no idea where to even start?" I put together a booklist of my top favorite, absolute-must-read graphic novels!! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ It's like a list of potential holiday gifts for comic fans! bookshop.org/lists/must-r...?
You: Please act normal; you need these people to like you. Me: Ok! People: hi. Me: You heard of these things called graphic novels?? They’re like comic books that are the length of novels, and employ compositional storytelling toβ€”here, I’ll just start you off with these 20 first, you got a pen?

Ooh, great list! Based on your list, you would probably also enjoy Paper Planes by Jennie Wood, Dozerdraws, & Micah Myers; The Princess and the Grilled Cheese by Deya Muniz; Danger and Other Unknown Risks by Ryan North & Erica Henderson; & Light Carries On by Ray Nadine.

My exposure to graphic novels wholly depends on what I see on the shelf at my local library.

That's a great list, thanks! I remember a while ago, I was *that close* 🀏 to give in to "The Many Deaths of Laila Starr" and seeing it in your list, I will probably go and read it 😊

So. I bought it on Thursday (found it in a small bookshop in town), read it yesterday and today. And I really enjoyed it :) it was definitely intriguing and captivating! I'll have to let it sit for a while but I'm sure I will often remember the last chapter. Thanks for the recommendation πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
