I’ve been on a bit of a graphic novel/comics kick recently all over the board really. But I wound up reading Chilling Adventures of Sabrina- which I said I wasn’t going to do! Luckily I think it helped prepare me for the show…

I Hate Fairyland Vol. 4 Sadly Never After
By: Skottie Young
Grade: A

I actually have, at times, asked myself the same question Betty Cooper asks in this book… What would Harley Quinn do? I like to keep it legal though. 🙂 Still I was amused to see someone else asking the exact same thing!
Sabrina
By: Nick Drnaso

I leapt at reading Sabrina when I saw it was the first graphic novel ever on the Man Booker Award list.
