This semester's term paper is about coherence in comics so I've decided to take another (academic) look at my love-hate-relationship with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Wish me luck!

With Day 2 under way of the #24b4monday readathon, I'm feeling good at 08:36:30.

I might read some later after dinner but I'm also thinking to just stand in front of my fan due to the heat 😂

2. Shortest Book You Read: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume One

This is the only graphic novel I read this year. The artwork was my favorite part of the book, which perfectly reflects the late 1800s setting and gothic themes. All the literary references should make this one a go-to for any book lover. This is the image featured on the last page of the book.

I finished my Goodreads challenge! 35 is probably an understatement of what I actually read this year, especially considering books I reread for teaching and quick ebook reads from Overdrive (which don‘t always get captured by Goodreads). I increased my challenge to 50, so I‘m going to try to make an effort to reach that before the end of the year!

Taking a break from It tonight to crack into this. I picked this up from a spontaneous trip to the used book store the other day. I‘m not big into graphic novels, but Watchmen and V for Vendetta are favorites. Been wanting to read this one for awhile, so I couldn‘t resist when I saw it on the shelf. #currentlyreading #graphicnovel

Saknicole Yas! I've never read it. Let me know how it is. The movie was meh, but I love the steampunk aesthetic. 7y
Kimberlone @Saknicole lol yeah the movie was kind of Disney-fied. So far the book is much more adult. Same writer as Watchmen...so more in that vein. Lol remember Shane west as Tom Sawyer in the movie?! 7y
Saknicole Omg yesss! I kind of want to rewatch it now... I love watchmen sooo much 7y

Weekends are made for comics, right?!

vivastory One of my favorite series of all time. I was actually thinking about it while reading "Lost City of Z" as Fawcett & H. Rider Haggard were friends. In fact, if i had to describe Fawcett, I'd call him a real life Alan Quatermain 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk You are totally correct. 8y

The fruits of my last few book hauls. Some, like Matilda, the golden compass, and water for elephants, I already owned but I prefer these covers. The how to train your dragon books are hardback and were only 2 dollars apiece.

398.2 I loved the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! 8y
KtheBookwyrm @398.2 I was lucky to find it, it was hidden on a bottom shelf, partially covered by other graphic novels and magazines. 8y

Quite delightful. And so much better than the movie (of course). Now on to volume two.

398.2 I thought the same thing when I read it. 8y

"You dare to order Edward Hyde as if he were a Dog?"
"Dogs, Sir, have more self control! Now get in there." Miss Murray was my favorite. I loved all of her witty comments.
It's nothing like the movie. At first I was unhappy about this but then I started appreciated it. ?

Some bedtime reading! I am excited about this one. Big fan of Alan Moore!

Blueberry This is on my TBR list. By the way, I followed you because of your wonderful name tag. :) 8y
398.2 @Blueberry It's good. It's not what I expected. I get that often about my name tag. 😀Most people who don't read don't get it. Lol This is the perfect community for it. 8y

Alan Moore is by far my favorite graphic novel writer. What I loved about this graphic novel are the literary references. Any of you have more graphic novels recommendations?
