Recs if you like The Complete Maus...

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!

These are some of my favorites and books I want to read--nonfiction that reads like fiction or is otherwise compelling. If you're intimidated by books on history, science, memoir, or other subgenres in nonfiction, start here.

Memoirs, histories, guidebooks. Real life narratives told through creative expression.

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.

Banned books are books that have been prohibited or had its free access restricted by an authority—the government, school system or religious group—because they object to its content, ideas or themes. Banning a book is a form of censorship. The list is bound to not contain everything since the number is astronomical but feel free to suggest :]

or: some leftist nonfiction. we love being educated and wanting basic human rights for everybody ♡

Love casts a spell; the real monster is oppression. Modern magical realism, urban fantasy, and fabulism: books that use supernatural elements to explore themes of family, desire, history, and society.

Here's a list of every book I studied, read, or was reccomended to read as part of my Writing and Literature BA - for eager academics, fellow writers & nostagic graduates💕 Let's milk my education💪

I study literature and this has been my curriculum through the years. OBS: Curriculums change depending on school and country, etc. Updating as I go along.

This is a list of as many banned and challenged books in Canada. Current sources are Penguin Random House Canada and Freedom To Read. This list will get updated the more I find stuff.

Notable comics, graphic novels and mangas to get into the genre. This format of books is so underrated, so I wanted to create a diverse list of notable works across the history of 'comics'! I tried to highlight nonfiction and fiction works that are recognizable to the widest variety of people (mostly because of their adaptation), while also adding less widely known books. The goal of the list is to help find at least one 'comic' you want read, if you don't really read 'comics'! (inspired by Les 1001 BDs by Trécarré)

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

In the wake of what is happening in the US, I have decided to create a list series with the purpose to remember what once happened that we have now forgotten. I have tried to include many lesser known books which are as important. The list is not exhaustive so please feel free to drop recs on the comment section and I will add the books

This will be the first in these series. It will be followed by non fiction books, history books, fiction books and finally biographies of Nazi politians.

A selection of fun and interesting graphic non-fiction. This is by no means exhaustive and I only included one book per author to keep this from getting cluttered, so feel free to use this as a starting point and explore!

Graphic Novels of the YA and Adult variety

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?

All buddy reads taking place in the Organized Book Club discord starting and/or ending in 2025. The list will be updated throughout the year.

These are books that will help you expand your worldview and understand what people go through. Some books are fictional, diving into the questions of power, relationships, privilege, and struggle. Others are true stories, bearing witness to real events and experiences that happen world-wide. All of these books exemplify the importance of storytelling as a means to understanding each other and our world!
