Not even one graphic novel on the list? ;)
Mod
Ashes & Tad Caldwell and the Monster Kid - both illustrated by Karl Slominski, who used to be one of my Jr. Friends at Ogden
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - LOVED the GN versions of all these books!
The Sleeper & the Spindle by Neil Gaiman - not technically a GN, but beautifully illustrated.
Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson
Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
Lumberjanes is creating all sorts of buzz. It's on several best-of lists. I've read the first two volumes. Personally, I like Stevenson's Nimona better, but I'm glad Lumberjanes is getting the attention it is.
I've got Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children GN version on my upcoming reads list. Loved the novel version, so I'm interested to see how my personal visualization translate into the art. I'm pretty corny around new years though and like to start out with an inspirational/self-help type book to stay inspired. Just about to start Living Courageously by Joyce Meyer.
Just kidding. I made it through 25 pages of Living Courageously and decided to switch to Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed. Don't usually give up that easily, but the first one was making me cringe and I want my first book of the new year to be something I enjoy. Maybe I'll be able to stomach some "inspirational, Christian living" lit later in the year. :)
I'm going to try House of Echoes. I love scary books so this one was already on my list of books to read.
For those of you who don't often get to visit the Central Library or my office, you should know that I have a bulletin board outside my office door where I often post what I'm reading. One of the challenges is to read something from that board. Heidi Jung asked if I could provide a list of those titles, so I added them all to the bookshelf for this group.
