I would say about half of our physical book collection of 1000+ are graphic novels. It is my wife's genre of choice, to be sure.

Last night, I finished Becky Chamber's A Closed and Common Orbit, which was VASTLY better than the first volume in her series. The characters were more well-developed and she did very interesting things with AI. I also didn't feel like I was reading a knockoff Firefly story. Glad I stuck with it.
