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

Image
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 feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

L is for...Lighthouses

 It's a schizophrenic Saturday here in Oregon (what's new) and we're strolling in to the halfway point of the A-Z Blogging Challenge.  Today's letter brings us to a feature that many states along the coast possess and something that I've always had a fascination with... Lighthouses There are eleven total lighthouses along the Oregon Coast.  Nine were built for maritime purposes, five are still in operation, and two were privately built.  Of the eleven, nine of them are on the National Register of Historic Places.  There are five lighthouses that offer tours to visitors and each has a unique history.  Some even have sordid pasts and rumored ghosts that roam their buildings.  As a heads up, I apologize for the length of this post. From the north heading south along Highway 101, the lighthouses are as follows: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is the furthest north and located near Seaside.  It is deactivated and the only lighthouse built offshore on a

C is for...Crater Lake

Nearly halfway through the first week of the A-Z Challenge and we are to the letter C.  I hope everyone is plugging along nicely and not feeling pressured yet!  Today's letter is representative of... Crater Lake I love Crater Lake .  It's beautiful, fascinating, and awesome.  Located in Southern Oregon, Crater Lake is a body of water that has formed inside the remains of a once active volcano in the Cascade Range.  The caldera formed by the massive eruption of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago is now filled with crystal clear blue water and two islands; the main one being Wizard Island.  Fed only by rainfall and melting snow, the water is completely replaced every 250 years and one of the purest bodies of water in America in terms of absent pollutants.  The park is open year-round and visited by nearly half a million people annually, but many roads become impassible during the winter months.
