BBGMBC: Our May 2012 Book is…Are You My Mother? By Allison Bechdel

And our book selection for the month of May 2012 is…

Are You My Mother By Alison Bechdel

I thought it would be refreshing to try a graphic novel.

It’s quite likely that many members of the group do not typically read graphic novels (though I could be wrong!), so this should be an adventure!

Also, my ten-year-old daughter loves graphic novels and my husband likes them, too. So this should be an educational experience for me, since I’ve never read a graphic novel and probably would not without some prodding…like this. However, just for clarification, this is a graphic memoir, not a graphic novel. 🙂

Alison Bechdel is coming to Powell’s this month. Here’s her complete tour schedule for those who are interested.

In the meantime, happy reading!
