I just read a New York Times article about how Janet Evanovich & Stephanie Meyer are currently working on graphic novel adaptations of their books. Evanovich is actually adding to a an already existing series which was begun by Metro Girl and Motor Mouth. I find this very interesting because I am not sure if her current followers will be interested in reading a graphic novel. I don't read her books and so I cannot speak for myself on this point--just a guess. Meyer is working with Yen Press on Twilight, which will come out as a 2 book graphic novel. I found this quote by Kurt Hassler, the Publishing Director for Yen Press, speaking about the size and look of the book, both interesting and disturbing: “This will fit very nicely on fans’ bookshelves." Is he interested in people reading them or just buying them to add to their "collection"? Maybe I shouldn't haven't gotten out of bed this morning as I am feeling a bit jaded. What do you think: insightful comments or cranky librarian?
