[SPOILER WARNING] I like lists, I really do. It’s probably no exaggeration that I have lists for everything, so of course I attempted to make a shortlist of what book or series to choose for this piece. I’m not going to lie, it was always going to be a challenge from the very start. My […]

If like me you love cartoons but fell behind by several years you may not know where to start.
