Recs if you like March: Book One...

Graphic Memoirs, aka Memoirs told via Graphic Novels.

Huge shout outs to both one_crazy_elliott and MadHoney for such lengthy & thorough rec lists to add!

Nonfiction graphic (comic) books aimed at teens or adults. Learn something with visuals, not just texts. Who says graphic novels are just for kids or don't cover more mature topics?

A picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes that applies to comic books. What could be more effective in learning the history of resistance than via comic books? Especially if you happen to have grown up hearing "comic books aren't REAL books." 🙄

Learning things with pictures ✨ this includes memoirs. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions 💕

Books to open your heart and mind to the experiences and realities of others; of the ones society has othered.
