Displacement by Lucy Knisley
Genre: Graphic Novel
In her graphic memoirs, New York Times-best selling cartoonist Lucy Knisley paints a warts-and-all portrait of contemporary, twentysomething womanhood, like writer Lena Dunham (Girls). In the next installment of her graphic travelogue series, Displacement, Knisley volunteers to watch over her ailing grandparents on a cruise. (The book s watercolors evoke the ocean that surrounds them.) In a book that is part graphic memoir, part travelogue, and part family history, Knisley not only tries to connect with her grandparents, but to reconcile their younger and older selves. She is aided in her quest by her grandfather s WWII memoir, which is excerpted. Readers will identify with Knisley s frustration, her fears, her compassion, and her attempts to come to terms with mortality, as she copes with the stress of travel complicated by her grandparents frailty.”
Through the Woods by Emily Carroll
Genre: Graphic Novel
‘It came from the woods. Most strange things do.’
Five mysterious, spine-tingling stories follow journeys into (and out of?) the eerie abyss.
These chilling tales spring from the macabre imagination of acclaimed and award-winning comic creator Emily Carroll.
Come take a walk in the woods and see what awaits you there…
These are new to me, but then again, I don’t really read graphic novels often. I hope you enjoy them!

I have never heard of Displacement or Lucy Knisley but her graphic novel/memoir sounds fascinating! I think it’ll definitely be one that will resonate with me. I’ll definitely have to check it out, along with the previous instalments!

I haven’t read anything by Lucy Knisley wither, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about her work.
The description of Displacement resonated a lot with me too. I’m hoping it’s as good as I keep hearing it is. I hope you like it, if you decide to read it.
