All of this - but with a warning that not everything cited by wikipedia will be sources your professor will accept. But it’s still a great way to learn enough to know what keywords you should be using in a search of your library’s databases!
Teachers: Wikipedia is very unreliable *Hands out 25 year old textbooks instead*

from your friendly neighborhood librarian:
all books are good books. you are not a “lesser reader” if you only read manga or comic books or a “better reader” for reading academic heavy texts.
reading is reading no matter what it is, be it a graphic novel, a romance, a classic, an audiobook, a picture book, a cookbook, fanfiction, fucking whatever, read what makes you happy
reading is supposed to be fun and don’t let elitism sap any joy out of it

Bram Stoker's reference materials for Dracula discovered at the London Library
Bram Stoker’s working notes for Dracula were discovered in 1913 (but not published until 2008); now researchers at the London Library have pulled the titles Stoker referenced and shown that these were the very books that Stoker used – they can tell because he defaced the library books, circling the phrases he later made notes on.

Remember when JSTOR had an advice column?
We did! On Tumblr no less. It was unceremoniously abandoned due to a lack of interest from certain people who shall not be named (Voldemort) but I WANT TO RESURRECT IT.
Here’s how it works: send us your questions! We’ll research the answers and provide advice based on scholarship of the same. Be forewarned that not all topics have viable research on them, but we’ll do our best! Send us a message and start it “Dear JSTOR.”

Things I love:
This unknown librarian’s penmanship – my anonymous love, if I had a larger sample, I’d make your writing into a font.
The small “Halloween” stickers on books
Old school, two color illustrations in books
Things I want:
Autumn. October.
Pumpkin fields with scarecrows and ghosts and haunted winds.
An app like Lyft that pairs me with a witch driving a giant pumpkin to take me places.

i can no longer take any description of a male protagonist seriously if the writer describes him as ‘brooding’
because i used to think ‘oh, that’s sexy and mysterious, etc’
and now i think of this
once you’ve been loudly cussed out by 2.5 lbs of feathers, that word only ever means one thing

Impressionist Cityscapes Through Lovers’ Eyes by Leonid Afremov
A professional artist since 1978, American artist Leonid Afremov graduated from the prestigious school Vitebsk Art School, originally founded by classical artist Marc Chagall. Inspired by the work of the latter, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Salvador Dalí, Afremov’s work is purely emotional. Every scene is a reflection of his feelings, emotions, passions and anything that feeds his soul. For this reason, he often chooses to cover the beauty of young love, romance, and the grandeur of cityscapes, which often glimmer as brightly as his paintings during the night.
The vibrant and highly saturated colors of Afremov’s work mimic his inspirations, although his technique emulates Camille Pissarro’s and Claude Monet’s impressionist brush and Georges Seurat’s pointillistic style. By combining the soft flare of depicting images and figures with the contrast of pixelated sharp colors, Afremov delivers stunning and stimulating pieces. You can find more of his work in his Etsy shop.
