I have trouble reading graphic novels- though I loved comics as a kid. American Gods, V for Vendetta, and The Sandman were books I really liked, though.
Oh my! Now, you know I love a good graphic novel series, Bill. I need to check these out!!
Good luck and happy reading Bill!

I was the same as a kid, Bonnie. I always had comic books to read.

Bill - I like the graphic novel idea! I just realized today that 4 of my 7 non-fiction reads, including Rhymes with Takei, this year were graphic novels. Enjoy!

There is so much variety in graphic novels nowadays. Enjoy your 2026 challenges as well.

... as I started clicking through these, I realized quickly that I have the "firsts" in many of these series; on my tbr. That's good and bad. Good; because I love a great graphic novel series; and Bad; because my tbr is ridiculous.
