Top Ten Tuesday: Graphic Novels

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a way to share what you're loving in list form.  The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover!
This week's topic is:  Graphic Novel Recommendations.  While I'm fairly new to the graphic novel world (so I might not be able to recommend ten), I have become a huge fan.  Here are some of my faves:






Saga (Volumes 1-6...haven't been able to get my hands on 7 yet) by Brian K Vaughan


Clearly I need to up my graphic novel game...perhaps that will be my goal for Bout of Books!  All Graphic Novels!  To the library I go!!!

On The Radar
Watchmen by Alan Moore
The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Blankets by Craig Thompson
Saga, Volume 7 by Brian K Vaughan
March, Books 1-3 by John Lewis
American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang

Also, look for next week's Top Ten:  Back to School Freebie.  Verdict's out on what my topic will be :)  What are some of your favorite graphic novels?

Happy Reading!

    I'm visiting from the Top Ten Tuesday linkup and while I am not a big graphic novel reader, Hyperbole and a Half looks interesting. Great list.

    I read the Maus ones, used to watch the TV show for Walking Dead, saw the movie for Watchmen.

    Nowhere Men, Astro City, Batman: Year One,, and Batman: The Long Halloween might be worth checking out.

    I read Maus; I really enjoyed it! I'm always looking for some amazing graphic novels to devour so thank you so much for this post! Ever since I saw the movie for Watchman (which is now becoming a TV show), I've wanted to read the graphic novel. Blankets was really good too! Happy reading!

      You're very welcome! I've perused some of the other TTT posts and have found some excellent books/graphic novels to add to my TBR (which is massive...naturally). Waiting for Watchmen to arrive at the library right now! Thanks for visiting, Jeanna :)

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
