December 19, 2018I asked for Tomie for Christmas!!! This is one I’m so hoping to get. I read Dissolving Classroom this year and he is a GENIUS!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 19, 2018Awesome, I hope you receive it! I’ve only read Uzumaki by Ito before, and it was so weird but really fun!
Shelbi @ What’s My Page Again
December 19, 2018Yay! Thanks so much for this list. I really like how you put the genre with each title. I hope to read more graphic novels as 2019 rolls in. I am particularly interested in the adult romance genre 😛
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018Any time! ♥ Sorry for the late reply – stupid overeager spam filter! >:( But I’m glad the genres helped you! 😀

December 19, 2018Just read Mighty Jack and Spill Zone. Both very fun, Spill Zone is a little darker though for sure.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 19, 2018Awesome, I’m looking forward to them both, especially Spill Zone!

Destiny @ Howling Libraries
