I picked up Frostbite: The Graphic Novel based on the series by Richelle Mead adapted by Leigh Dragoon illustrated by Emma Vieceli (what a mouthful!) because I had seriously whipped through the first adaptation of Vampire Academy in graphic novel form. Of course, I read this during the Dewey Readathon and it was one of the few books I got through (this was the same day that the Hale firestorm started). I knew that this would be a book I could get through quickly and where I wouldn’t have to concentrate too hard because I already knew the story and what to expect. And well, this book absolutely meets that whole Readathon purpose.

This One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki | Book Review
I thought that This One Summer would be a pretty neat female focused comic book perfect for my summer reading. My instinct about this did indeed prove correct and so — the summary combined with a quick flip through to look at the art combined with A TON OF BLURBS from authors I really enjoy lead to me reading This One Summer and I regret NOTHING.
Andre The Giant: Life And Legend by Box Brown | Book Review
I am really taken with non-fiction graphic novels. I already legitimately love non-fiction books and love graphic novels, so the combination for Andre The Giant: Life And Legend by Box Brown had me over the moon excited.
