Read It File It (Short Review): Mercy Thompson Moon Called Volume 1 by Patricia Briggs was my first ever graphic novel. I am glad I started with a story I knew so that I could spend some time learning how to read the frames (sounds silly but that took a bit). I really enjoyed the graphics and thought they added a little oomph to a story I already love.

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I’m not great at reading graphic novels but I think it’s pretty cool, too.
I can’t enjoy graphic novels after having read the books. In my mind, the characters look so different. I just don’t like looking at the pictures at all. But I am glad you enjoyed it Felicia.
I only read the first book and didn’t fall in love with it. I do plan to keep going in the series anyhow. I never thought to pick up a graphic novel of a book I’ve read, but that’s an interesting idea. I used to read comics/graphic novels a lot when I was little.
Once you get used to reading graphic novls, it’s a piece of cake, but it does takes some getting used to. I didn’t realize they had made this series graphic novels. I must get my hands on them… 😀
I do need to read more by Patricia Briggs
I’ve read a couple of these graphic novels. I love them, though I wish the artistry was a little better. There is The Homecoming that I highly recommend that is a prequel to the Mercy Thompson series. It has the cutest picture of Mercy as a coyote pup with Bran’s shirt in her mouth.
I will have to see if my library has those. I picked up 2 more graphic novels this past trip (Buffy Universe)—I really do like the pictures. I just need to shift to getting the story not only from the words. That is hard for m.
I haven’t read a graphic novel in years! I think I’d get a kick out of this one for the same reasons you did.
For me, I have found they are good companions to stories I already know. The graphics are nice to look at 🙂
