Let's Get Graphic: Incorporating Graphic Novels Into a Secondary Language Arts Classroom | 
So I‘ve never been much interested in graphic novels. I tried in my early 20s goth years b/c I wanted to be cool, LOL. But they just didn‘t appeal to me. But over the past few years, GNs have really taken off on Booktube, Litsy, etc, and I wanna give them another go. I did read Persepolis last year & enjoyed. But am looking for fiction recs now, strongly prefer ones by/about POC &/or queer folks. No horror or creepy shit. Suggestions, please, thx!
The votes are in! The next #LetsGetGraphicMonthlyFeature is...🥁DEADPOOL! 👏🌮♥️ We‘re excited to spend the day gorging on all things Deadpool with you. No challenges! Just an all-day homage to everyone‘s favorite Merc with a Mouth. Movies! Comics! PJs! Chimichangas! Do it all weekend if you‘d like! Hope to see you Sunday the 25th for DEADPOOL! 😈🖤

Well, these past few days life has really gotten in the way of reading and Litsy. I had a pretty bad virus for almost a week, and now I‘m busy with my wedding planning. I completely forgot about the #LetsGetGraphicMonthlyFeature and I am so so sorry that I haven‘t been on here hyping it up and reminding everyone! I‘ll do better next month! 😉 anyways better late than never! ♥️
I just wanted to thank @Clwojick and @TricksyTails for running such a fantastic readathon with the #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon. I read 21 graphic novels or collected volumes of comics, which was super fun-but look at all the ones I DIDN'T get to!! 😳
Cheers! Thank you for a truly magical week! #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon has come to a close. 💔We had the best time seeing your posts & geeking out with you. We‘re grateful to all of you for your awesome photos, doubling our TBRs, & for sharing our love of comics. We‘ll do it again in a few months. Until then, join us for #LetsGetGraphicMonthlyFeature. We‘ll announce the #SpeechBubbleChallenge winner in a couple of days. Thank you again! 🙏♥️

I've been keeping count, and I managed to read 6 graphic novels in the last 24 hours. ☺️ Not bad considering I was at work for 9 hours today. Here's to hoping I can double or triple that tomorrow, seeing as how I have the day off! ❤️️

Ahhhhhh! I cannot be trusted! I have a tendency to take things to the extreme, and I'd say my TBR for the marathon is looking a little EXTREME right now. 🙈
I ran to the library today before work to RETURN some books, and walked out with 28 more. I am going to have sooooo many options for the #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon that it's nuts!
This makes it over 100 books that I currently have out from the library. 😬😱🙈 #LetMeSeeYourStack #TBR

I know how overwhelming it can be to choose from all the books out there, if you're not familiar with what you might like, so I thought it'd be great to tag some favourites with #RecommededGraphics to help spread the awesomeness for the upcoming Marathon. Please share your favourites! 📚

It'll be more of #LetsGetGraphicWeekAndABitLongerMarathon. 😂😂😂 Please change your calendars! All the prompts for the #PhotoChallenge are posted, so gather all your comics, graphic novels, & manga to have at the ready. Hope you join us FRI JAN 12 ALL WEEKLONG AND THEN SOME! YEAH!😱
The rules are up, so go grab all your graphic novels for next week! The fun starts Friday (cause we can read calenders😉) Psssst! That's only 7 days away 😱
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. ❤️📚❤️ Hope you all join in! This is going to be so so so much fun!

Each time you do a post for the challenge, be sure to tag @Clwojick & @TricksyTails use our hashtags. Each completed challenge is an entry for the #giveaway, so enter as many times as you like. More photos=better odds of winning! ⬇️
PHONOGRAM by Giller & McKelvie - about music and the magic of engagement. I love THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, a very queer series by the same creators, a bit more, but I‘m pretty sure it‘s creepy. Their YOUNG AVENGERS is also very queer and probably not creepy? 5y
ORANGE by Ichigo Takano - high stakes slice of life with a time travel component. TW for suicide.
STRANGERS IN PARADISE by Terry Moore - lots and lots of emotions. Also, girls in love. 5y
GIANT DAYS by John Allison et al - slice of life at university. 1/3 queer.
THE TEA DRAGON SOCIETY by Katie O‘Neill - sweet all-ages fantasy about kids whose queer mentors help them bond with little dragons. 5y
