Reward her with hugs. And rambling 20 minute phone calls.

You know it's worth it.

I tried to convince my friends
I started with something easy, no graphic novel, but fantasy anyway. I passed them Neverwhere, saying that it was a great book that they'd love, but I couldn't tell them what it was about or it'd be spoiled.

They loved it (ovbiously); but after that I tried to pass them something with drawings on it, and they wouldn't read it, as it was for kids.

Bah.

A good chunk of my graphic novels are rather... graphic
So won't be mistaken for kid's books. I'm thinking Preacher, Transmetropolitan, The Boys, The Authority etc.

Yes, it didn't matter with them
Sandman can be quite graphic, as well as Sin City. It didn't matter: cartoons = kids.

Ah yes, Sin City, knew I was forgetting a chunk of my collection
I hate that naive view, but then I write off Twilight and Harry Potter as kid's books.

And you're wrong
At least about Harry Potter. The first one is for kids, true, but then the books grow with Harry, and it's very interesting to see how it gets darker and darker.

I watched the first film
And was just annoyed by it all. I may get around to watching the others at some point, but they're a LONG way down on my list of priorities.
