Am I the celebrity!? :)<br /><br />I tend to get a lot of my graphic novels from the library, because some of them are quite expensive and there isn't really the cost:time-spent ratio that comes with a novel.

But it doesn't exactly help.<br /><br />Still some libraries are building up quite impressive collections of graphic novels now!Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-78901186088328442952015-05-28T18:34:04.632+01:002015-05-28T18:34:04.632+01:00Yes!

But I'm not! And there's nothing wrong with people like that but I think some people feel like they won't enjoy manga unless they act like that and it's not true at all!Danni Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470311076336983726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-75852022190528324012015-05-28T17:19:54.170+01:002015-05-28T17:19:54.170+01:00I haven't read any graphic novels or comics.
