Hi everyone! Debi and Chris came up with 'themed' months last year for their reading. February was graphic novels (and their like). When they started talking about doing it again I knew I had to join in! The other night I collected my books, sorry about the bad picture quality, and got very excited to get to many of these! I thought I would share. The pile, from bottom to top, is as follows:
Y: The Last Man - I enjoy this series, but I am behind. I have to figure out where I am in the series, so this follow is just a stand-in until I go back and find my spot.
Fables: Encyclopaedia - I bought this when it came out and have been holding on it... It is even still in its plastic wrap!
Fairest in all the Land - This came out at the end of 2013. I am excited! I was going to read it in January, but I decided to save it for February.
Once Upon a Time Machine - Sadly even comic book short story collections take me forever. I sort of even forgot to read this one after putting it down at one point. I know I will like it. I need to read it!
Fatale: Volume 1 - Death Chases Me - I just have read this because I didn't want to start another series until I caught up in some... And then it got kind of buried on my shelves and there are three sequels if I like it. oops!
The Unwritten - Volume 6, 7, and Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice - I got behind in The Unwritten last year!
Saga - Volume 2 - I am kind of shocked I never read this. I just stopped reading graphic novels last year. It's terrible... Though not pictured, I might also reread Volume 1.
Kill Shakespeare - Volume 3 - I got Volume 1 and 2 for Christmas 2012, I believe. I am excited to see what happens next!
A Bunch of Fables - All the Fables are rereads. I am not sure how many I will get through, but this enough for 2 a week or so.
Once Upon a Time - This is a comic based on the show. The art is very pretty. I just got it this month for February.
Nausicaa Volume 1, 2, and 3 - Yeah, another one I meant to read in January a couple times and kept waiting for February... I borrowed them so I need to get cracking!
The Runaways Volume 2 - I haven't rushed right out and read this because my library doesn't carry the series, I don't love it enough to buy it, etc. But, I have this one and should at least read it. It might convince me I enjoy it more? I don't know..
I love your stack! I am so excited for Graphic Novel February! I've been collecting a huge stack of my own to read next month. It's been hard not to start reading.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing Fables on blogs and I still have to read them, but they're never available at our library. Ha! One day, surely!
ReplyDeleteEveryone tells me great things about Nausica, but I haven't see it in any book blog I follow. Looking forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you should be entertained for a while!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I hope this will help with your reading doldrums, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI'm well behind on The Unwritten too! Every time I go to the library, the volume I need is checked out, so I haven't been able to continue.
ReplyDeleteCompletely off topic but did you see this? http://www.amazon.com/The-Queen-Hearts-Colleen-Oakes/dp/1940716020/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390850936&sr=8-1&keywords=queen+of+hearts+colleen+oakes. Queen of Hearts is finally on amazon! Though it looks like you may have enough on your reading list without it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me again that I REALLY want to read Fables.
ReplyDeleteI think you are in for a great time! I like graphic novels but I tend to read only standalones. I'm already way too behind on my mystery series reading :)
ReplyDeleteI don't read many graphic novels, but I have read a couple of the Fables and really enjoyed them. I should get back to them.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! That is a massive pile of graphic novels, and they all sound FANTASTIC! I look forward to reading your reviews on these! =)
ReplyDeleteOkay, you totally know how excited this post makes me, right? :D I had Nausiccaa out of the library a few months back but never got to them...hope you love them, because at least I know I'll be able to get my hands on them when you make me want to read them. I keep forgetting to look for Kill Shakespeare--silly me! I've wanted to try those ever since you first told me about them.
ReplyDeletea great collection of reads.. I have a few waiting to be read.. this may be the excuse I need? been meaning to start Saga...and really get into Fables (love your posts on those) but that may wait for spring or summer break
