It just didn't settle as well as other books like this. And, yeah, the art - not for me.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-58517306527116793652008-11-05T09:49:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:49:00.000-05:00Sorry you didn't end up liking these so much. Art...Sorry you didn't end up liking these so much. Art is so personal though. I didn't love all of it but I think the overall style won me over. I've only read the first one though, we'll see what I think when I read the rest.tanabatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592550784537825632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-90472079954289644452008-11-04T21:49:00.000-05:002008-11-04T21:49:00.000-05:00Mary ~ I hope you do.Bonnie ~ I love journals, dia...<B>Mary</B> ~ I hope you do.<BR/><BR/><B>Bonnie</B> ~ I love journals, diary, letter style books, too. That was the best part of the books! There are a few children's series that use letters like this one did - I absolutely love them. I'm not sure if these are really considered "graphic novels", but I saw them labeled that somewhere. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-47861594217535087902008-11-04T21:14:00.000-05:002008-11-04T21:14:00.000-05:00Joy,I read these books when they first came out. I...Joy,<BR/>I read these books when they first came out. I enjoyed them very much. I liked the artwork and the interactive nature of the book with the real letters in envelopes. Also, my cousin's name is Sabine and we both read them and were drawn to that connection. <BR/>I am fond of journal, diary, letter style books and that is another reason I enjoyed these books. I never thought of them as graphic novels, that makes sense!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-76008909138234278172008-11-04T16:55:00.000-05:002008-11-04T16:55:00.000-05:00Hmm.

The fact that they are typically short and easy to read was the final push. I figured too much time wouldn't be wasted if I didn't like it/them. Seriously, there are only a few that I haven't liked. I have been pleasantly surprised.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-9151856161498518312008-11-04T12:17:00.000-05:002008-11-04T12:17:00.000-05:00I'm just not curious enough to check graphic novel...I'm just not curious enough to check graphic novels out.
