I mostly like comic novel series

  • Dork Diaries

Its similar to my favorite story, Miraculous

  • Penny Pepper

The closest a book series I've read got to a cartoon

  • Diary of a Noob Warrior

Instead of fantasy based on real life, this is fantasy based on Minecraft

  • Trouble is a friend of mine

This is not a comic novel series, but the text's signal-to-noise ratio is really good, so I can still read it without getting overwhelmed

A side question, does LemmyGrad have a presence on Bookwyrm? I mean, we discuss books and Bookwyrm is all about discussing books

Catfish [she/her] - 7mon

On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden. It is a very fantastic graphic novel / webcomic about found family and queerness, I read it as a teenager and it has heavily affected me.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Also a sci-fi found family story with queer themes but in the form of a novel. The worldbuilding and stories told in the Wayfarer's series has moved me to tears multiple times <3

Heretics of Dune (Dune book 5). After the slow books 2-3 and contemplative 4, the bonkers action and bizarre concepts are really refreshing. It was also neat to get a deeper look into the world.
