I am going to a bookstore today, but I don’t know what other comics or books to buy to read for enjoyment and annotating for entertainment. I would like 5 - 10 books and comics for reading for enjoyment and for interesting stuff. I’m also working on my own comic as well.
I would also like to learn or get advice on, how to read and reread books over and over again, as well as remaining interested toward commitment to reading these books or comics. I used to like reading books, but I have stopped rereading them for some reason. Because I thought it was not easy for me to maintain interest or understanding what I would like in my stories (likes and dislikes in each part of a single book). Because if something looks off in my book I lose interest, close it, and do something else. Is it normal for this to happen? And how do I stay committed to reading and rereading books without wasting them?
On the other hand, I do know what I would like to read. The books I usually like are fantasy and adventure books, not too much gory, usually safe for work and also occasional dark, but not so dark that it’s like a horror movie, cute stuff, and books with a certain moral or theme in each chapter or book itself. These stories are also usually short and done in one book. Also, up to two or three book series should work too, but I still prefer more of standalone books or short story anthology. The books I usually like as a grasp are the “Hotel Strange” English comic book series, by Katherine Ferrier and Florian Ferrier (Hôtel Étrange in French) , “Cucumber Quest” by Gigi D.G, “The Mrs. Piggle Wiggle Treasury” by Betty MacDonald and illustrated by Hilary Knight, the “Pippi Longstocking” books, Enid Blyton short story books, “Lucid Memories” in tapas, and “the little trashmaid” in tapas.
Last but not least, do you have any book/comic recommendations on how to write comic stories and standalone stories? Basically just 3 - 4 book recommendations for books on how to write comic stories.
