Adding to last week's Book Blogger Hop, I thought I'd join in Parajunkee's Follow Friday-- hello and welcome to all new people! Hope you poke around and see something you like (though I'm only a few weeks into this). Suggestions of all sorts are truly welcome. Anyway, onto the question Hop question!
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NEW-TO-YOU AUTHOR SO FAR THIS YEAR?
Agh, so hard to say-- I've read so many new-to-me writers this year! I guess I'd have to say Bryan Q. Miller, writer of the new Batgirl
series (with the new Batgirl Stephanie Brown!) He's done such a great job with the character, really developing her as a realistic college freshman who happens to be a superhero, and a Bat at that! Steph's always been one of my favorite characters, so to have her in the hands of a capable writer who really grasps all of the things I love about her has been immensely satisfying to me.

I just discovered graphic novels in the past year and am enjoying the genre. I found you throgh the Hop and am looking forward to reading more here!

I'm so jealous you got to see Scott Pilgrim already!!!! It looks AMAZING!!!!!!--And you've definitely got me curious--the next time I'm at the bookstore, I'll take a look for the book form--I'm just so used to reading WORDS--not that I mind occasional pictures...Have you read either Watchmen or the comic version of Twilight??? Those are other ones that I've been curious about, but again, not sure about the format--but I'd love to hear from someone who's read them!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!--I will definitely keep a look out--and let you know what I think!!! It's nice to know someone who reads this format--I don't know any of my friends that are into comics--But I LOVE the stories--I always read book adaptations of comics, like The Life and Death of Superman, and there are a couple others super heroes I've picked up in written form...But you've definitely got me curious--FYI, my bookstore is an hour away, but the next time I get down there, Scott Pilgrim is definitely at the top of my list!!! Thanks again--Have a great weekend!!!
