Graphic Novels

My girls are avid readers. Its the only thing they want to do in the mornings. Lunches go unpacked, cereal gets soggy and I have to beg on my knees to get them to snap out of it and brush their hair, for crying out loud. 

And while were chatting, when did comic books get renamed 'Graphic Novels'? The new name lends it a certain gravitas, I suppose. But it also reminds me of graphic violence, which doesn't make me want to ask for them at the library. Not that it stops us from checking out 34 of Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries of Dippy Flippy or whatever is the latest author channeling his inner middle schooler.  

Now, let's get our shoes on, shall we?
