Every graphic novel ever
I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.
Also manga is not included.
“It’s Like the A24 of Comics”
Image, Valiant, Dark Horse, IDW.. it’s not Marvel or DC (at least not directly), but the best of the rest!
First issues/arcs may stand in for entire volumes/series’.
Are You There, God? It's Me, ______
YA fiction about teens struggling to fit into (or leave!) their religions or faith communities.
Graphic Novels Galore!
Looking for your next graphic novel read? Check out this list!
Mother Nature (Natural Phenomena on the Cover)
Based on the HRCYED 3.0 prompt! Books with weather or natural disasters/phenomena on the cover (at least one version), including: rain, storms, lightning, clouds, snowfall, fog, sunshine, tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis.
Not an exhaustive list - feel free to suggest titles! I tried to keep it more focused on books that fit the prompt but would be harder to find (i.e. ones that don't have the key words in the title).
Illustrated Narratives
Complete list of graphic novels I've read across multiple genres and maturity levels. Includes standalones and series.
Read at your own risk. Some are good and others let's pretend they don't exist.
Recommendations are always welcome, feel free to comment.
Utah banned books
Utah has banned 22 books from their public schools. With the newest three added this month, I thought it might be a good TBR list for the new year. For more info, here’s the book riot article announcing the newest additions https://bookriot.com/utah-bans-20-21-22-books/
Well they keep adding books to the list. It has officially gone up to 44 books in total.
