Please welcome Kelly from The Written World to the blog today!
Let's face facts... I used to think I was not a graphic novel person. I
wanted to be, but I didn't understand how a graphic novel could be anything as
wonderful as a full-length novel. And, it came down to finances. I read fast.
How was I supposed to justify reading something that cost so much in less than
an hour?
So, graphic novels just circulated around me and I held my wallet close. In
2006, I read what I consider my first graphic novels, namely Persepolis by
Marjane Satrapi. They were review copies, though, so I didn't feel as stressed
about the financial side of things. And, I admit that I loved them! But, I
still wasn't clicking with the medium. As a result it was not until 2009 that I
finally braved the graphic novel world...
Every year for Christmas my 'big gift' is gift cards to buy books with... I
decided this was the year that I was going to be brave and buy some graphic
novels that I had been hearing good things about: Maus and Fables. (Now that I
look back on that, those were two very different experiences to start with!) It
didn't matter though
because it happened! It clicked! And, now I may be a graphic novel junkie. By the end of 2009, I was caught up with Fables. And, I consider it my first graphic novel love because it has been an on-going love. I still get excited with every release.

I am not sure if I would have taken to graphic novels if I had never
started this blog. It was all because of glowing posts and pressure from other
bloggers that I even ventured into the medium. And, even then, I was reluctant.
But, it has lead to many other firsts and I hope it continues to inspire
great experiences in my reading. Fables may be coming to an end this year; but
it will always hold a special spot on my shelves and you never forget your
first love....

Maus was my first love, and sadly, it was years after that that I discovered Fables. I am going to be very sad when there are no new volumes of that one.
