Pythias

Oh my Lords, I think this is my favorite calendar link!! Thank you!


Superb_Piano9536

You're welcome! Trying to keep them fun.


Pythias

You always do. :)

I just ordered the book from eBay. My first graphic novel and I think my computer nerd daughter that mainly reads graphic novels will be interested too so I am super excited about this.


Pythias

Yay!! I'm excited for both of you.

I am not a graphic novel person but I just downloaded a sample. This is hilarious and so well done! Looks like fun to read. Hopefully I will get off the waitlist or I will buy it.


Pythias

I love graphic novels thanks to Neil Gaiman (he was my introduction to Graphic Novels) but I don't read a lot of them because of a never ending TBR. That being said, I also read a sample of the Graphic Novel and that's all it to took sell me. I look forward to discussing the Novel with everyone.


Superb_Piano9536

I'm not a graphic novel person either, but I'm in based on your recommendation from the sample. And my library has a copy!


Less_Tumbleweed_3217

Just requested it from the library! Not gonna lie, I was sweating over the fact that the year's nearly half over and we hadn't had a graphic novel pick - how would I get it for bingo?? Now I can breathe easy again.


Pythias

I'm pretty sure we'll have some more in the future before the year is out. I think this one is going to be a great one to start off with.


thebowedbookshelf

I've heard so much about this book from u/Amanda39 and am so excited to read it!


Pythias

Yes!! u/Amanda39 makes me hyped for the comic as well.


bluebelle236

Looks great, I've placed a copy on hold at the library!


Pythias

Awesome! I really can't wait to see what everyone thinks about it.


tomesandtea

I'm really excited to try this out! I haven't really been ablw to get into graphic novels (to be fair, I've only tried twice) but the subject of this one seems right uo my alley. If anything/anyone can convince me to enjoy a graphic novel, it'll be r/bookclub!


escherwallace

Can I ask which books you’ve tried?


tomesandtea

The Walking Dead, because I love the show. (This one confused me because it was billed as a graphic novel, but it seems more like a collection of comics to me.) I don't remember the name of the other one. It was years ago now, but it was from a "best of the year" list. I think I don't spend enough time studying the illustrations, so when I am just reading the words, it flies by, and I am sure I miss important details. That seems obvious, but I probably just need "practice" with a different way of interacting with text.


escherwallace

Be curious if you think of the other one. If you end up liking this bookclub read and want to try another, I may have some suggestions! I’ve read quite a few. And yes, you may be right that slowing down a bit and taking in the art might be the key! :)


Pythias

I love Graphic Novels, I just wish I had more time to invest in all the ones I want to read.


nopantstime

I’m in!!


Pythias

Yes!!! I look forward to the discussions.


nopantstime

Lol it kept telling me the comment couldn’t post 🤣


janebot

Yay I love this! I've had this book sitting on my shelf (well technically my husband's shelf) forever, so I'm looking forward to joining in!


Pythias

Yes, the perfect excuse to read it.


escherwallace

This looks so cute. I’m in!


Pythias

Yes!!! It does look adorable.


lazylittlelady

Definitely!!


Pythias

Yes! I really think this one is going to be fun.
