Fiona recently gave me the graphic novel French Milk by Lucy Knisley as a birthday gift – it was the first graphic novel I’ve read and I really really loved it. It’s an illustrated diary-account of a 6 week trip to Paris that Lucy took with her mother. I didn’t start it until I was back from my Easter break to Sicily, but it would have made perfect holiday reading – light and funny; more gripping than a glossy magazine, without being as taxing on the brain as some of the literary greats. In some ways, it reminded me of reading a really good blog.
Relish (by the same author) was recently published and I’m looking forward to reading it.
I’m also on the hunt for other graphic novels. Do you have any recommendations for me?

I've never read a graphic novel before but I'm keen to look into getting one now. You've described it well - if it's anything like a really good blog, I think I'd be all over it!
The only graphic novels I have read, are X-Men & Superman, haha. My daughter loves them like I did as a child. I'll have to start back reading them though, as I do enjoy them. Never heard of this one, will have to find it. If I come across any good ones, I will let you know. I hope you find some too :) xo
I'm always reading books about Paris or set in Paris and I like this idea of a graphic novel - definitely one for my suitcase!Thanks for the recommendation.

Amazing! I have never read one either but when you put it that way, I think I will check this one out!
Thanks for that Marlen!
Miss b, me too! You will definitely love this. One of the better ones.
interesting! i've never read a novel like that, might have to pin it for a vacay this year :)
Do, Krystal, you'd love it.
French Milk is one of my favourite graphic novels:) Happy day, sweetie.
