Until now, I've mostly found graphic novels by discovery - checking out shelves at my library and bookstore, scouring through newsletters and blogs. Now, I want to try out some recommendations. If you have read a graphic novel that you loved, please let me know in the comments below. If you have ever done a post listing graphic novels you've read/loved (eg: as end-of-challenge posts), I would be thrilled if you could share the link with me. If I choose a book from your list to read, I promise to let you know somehow.
