I have discovered my newest obsession in Wicker Park/Bucktown:
Quimby's Bookstore. This store has so many graphic novels and authors that I love. I went there today for the first time just to check it out and found great stuff. I had been looking for this series written by
Ariel Schrag for such a long time and they had it! This is the one I got today, the first in the series:
The second book in the series is being turned into a film. And I think that last one recently came out. I'm really excited to start reading this and the spend more time in Quimby's!

one of my favorite places in chicago. they not only have really cool alternative press type stuff, but they also do a lot fo great events, etc. for small presses and the graphic novel set. Glad you found it!
ReplyDeletemarjane satrapi is amazing. i loved Persepolis - although I tried to watch the movie which is supposed to be as good as the novel and i turned it off after 5 minutes...maybe i just don't like animation.
ReplyDeleteIf you've already looked up Erika Moen, totally google Lucy Knisley! I just read one of her books and I loved it (i'll let you borrow it).
