Blankets by Craig Thompson. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/12/2011 07:30:34 PM
It's useful, this forum's remembering all the post titles you've ever typed (or possibly Firefox doing that) - I didn't even have to type it again. :P

It's a gorgeous love story and coming-of-age story set a few decades ago in a Minnesota (or Wisconsin? somewhere around there) winter.

I've also long been tempted by Posy Simmonds' Tamara Drewe, inspired by Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd. But that may just be because I have fond childhood memories of her Chocolate Wedding. In any case, I haven't read it yet.

If he does read that, or if you do, I'd love to read a review. Legolas - 27/12/2011 09:12:13 PM 882 Views
Sadly, I won't get to it this year Larry - 29/12/2011 03:10:21 PM 834 Views

If you want a massive graphic novel to read, one that likely costs £25 or even more... Larry - 26/12/2011 08:27:07 PM 753 Views
