Yes. Yes. Yes.

I absolutely love Sarah's comics and art style as in, but putting it in a book? Yes, please.
I love how relatable her content is to day to day life, especially being an introvert and having anxiety.

Sarah's Scribbles is the comic strip that follows her life, finding humor in living as an adulting introvert that is at times weird, awkward, and embarrassing.

So what did I think?

+2 | Entertainment value. As usual Sarah captures bits of life that we can all relate to and forms it into such clever and hilarious comic book scenes

+1 | Drawings. The style used matches the tone perfectly and captures the words perfectly

+1 | Not just humor. This particular Sarah's Scribbles had a section for advice for artists. Though I'm not one, I could relate and I loved how it was incorporated into the story

+/-0.5 | More. I just simply want more.

Another great comic collection by the amazing Sarah Andersen, who perfectly describes every-day struggles of introverts, artists, women and cat owners.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an arc copy of Herding Cats! This is one of my most anticipated releases of 2018 and I am so happy to have had to chance to read it in advance!


The first thing you need to know about this review is the fact that I'm a huge "Sarah Scribbles" fan! I have read and loved her two previous volumes and Herding Cats is no exception!


Why do I like Sarah Scribbles?


I can recognize myself in quite a lot of her drawings, especially those about reading and buying books, being an introvert and having menstrual cramps. Sarah Andersen's work can be brutally honest but will make you laugh at the same time. It's by far my favourite comic collection and I will continue to read every single one she publishes!


Herding Cats focusses a bit more on Sarah's life and struggles as an artist. She is honest about how the internet affected her and her work but also knows that the internet has changed. The internet can be a wonderful place but it can also be cruel. As I am not an artist myself, I didn't relate to that part as much, but as a blogger, I could relate in a sense. It took a huge step to start this blog and even though I never had negative remarks, it can sometimes be challenging to put your thoughts out there. (Recent events in the book blogging world have sadly made this abundantly clear).


I obviously had to give Herding Cats 5 out of 5 stars! The collection feels very relatable to me and that's one of its biggest strengths in combination with the fact that it's absolutely hilarious! I will read anything Sarah Andersen publishes in the future and I can't wait to read the next volume. I will also be buying Herding Cats to add to my collection!

I love Sarah Andersen. She depicts an introvert's life perfectly.

I've read the previous two comics in this series, and I hope she keeps them coming in the years to come.

In the meantime, I'll settle for her facebook page.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Though this is a collection of brief comics, I fell in love with the characters from the beginning. I love Sarah Andersen's comics and artwork. It always brightens my mood as well as my day. To have read so many fun and humorous comics, I know what to pick up when I'm feeling down.

A wonderful compilation of Sarah Andersen's art, including a wonderfully illustrated motivational, inspirational piece at the end.

I don't really read a lot of graphic novels, but I like both the style of the illustrations and the topics the author talks about. Daily life mixed with anxiety topics and all in all things that I personally can easily relate to. And while I had fun reading Herding Cats, I felt some of the spark of her previous graphic novel was missing... I especially loved the cat and reading related graphics, which I obviously could really relate to, but other pages didn't manage to speak to me in a way I was expecting when I started reading it. Herding Cats is still a fun read though and perfect to take a little break, get yourself a cuppa and just absorb those pages. Coming out in March!

Sarah Andersen helps us all realize we’re not quite as weird as we think we are. Or maybe that we’re ALL doing the same weird things. Her work is so relatable and refreshing. I was banned from reading this in bed while my husband tried to sleep because I my attempts to contain my laughter we’re too disruptive. Herding Cats is laugh out loud funny and a great example of Andersen’s signature humor.

I absolutely love Sarah's Scribbles. I do follow a bit on FB so some of these were repeats. And, while I hat to know that another person fights anxiety, it's good to know you're not alone and get a small giggle out of it every now and then.

The little inspirational part toward the end for other artists is a nice addition.

As an introvert and cat lover prone to anxiety, Sarah’s work is like someone created a comic of my life! I adore Sarah’s art and am grateful she has persevered over the doubt and negativity of others to share this important and entertaining work with the world!

I've truly enjoyed both of Sarah Andersen's previous books and was excited to read this one as well. I did enjoy it, but not quite as much as the previous two. The second part, although not necessarily as humorous, is full of great reminders for everyone trying to make their way in the world by being creative, as well as just being a polite human.

Sarah Andersen is back with another book for anyone who enjoys webcomics! If you aren't familiar with her comics, they depict scenes that are relatable to animal lovers, students, creatives, and basically anyone who experiences emotions.

As with most famous internet cartoonists, I expected Andersen's book to simply be a collection of the short comics I see on Facebook or Twitter and some that I'd never come across. While it definitely has a bunch of the quick, hilarious, and relatable comics Andersen posts on her social media pages, I was surprised at the section that came last.

In the end, Andersen adds a chapter titled "Making Stuff in the Modern Era: A Guide for the Young Creative". There are a few sections to this, each highlighting a different part of the life of posting your art, writing, music, or any other project on the Internet for all to see.

It's no secret that this place has become an integral part of life for most people. Unfortunately, for every problem the Internet fixes, it also creates several new ones. That's why Andersen is here to tell her readers that it's okay to be scared to share your work so publically. People can be harsh, but they can also be incredibly kind. Andersen offers advice from her experiences on how to handle this anxiety, pick yourself up after you fall, and continue to grow through the best and the worst.

I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

I love Sarah Andersen works, I read the two previous books, and really liked them.
This book is similiar to the previous and I think it is really cute, and catch the modern life's problems.
I recommend it to the fans and you creatives ;)

Sarah's Scribbles are highly relatable for all those daily moments that have you thinking "Am I the only one?" Herding Cats keeps up with this tradition and then some. Perhaps my favorite part of this volume is her short essay at the end of the book addressing the difficulties of being an artist (but it really applies to anyone who creates original works) in today's world where the "real world" and the internet are so thoroughly intertwined. It's upfront about the emotional turmoil but reminds us that we must go out and make things anyway. I will definitely be re-reading this multiple times!

Maybe...if I stop watching these images when Andersen post it, this will be as good as was the first one...maybe

I love Sarah's art! I follow her on instagram, so when I give given the chance to review her upcoming comic (book) I was so stoked!
This is a collection of her comic strips, many of which have already been posted to her instagram, so you pretty much know what to expect. I will say, I thought there would be more cat content but I still loved this book.
The way Sarah draws and deals with topics like anxiety brings them to such a relatable point of view, I often find myself giggling and then screaming EXACTLY!
Thank you to Netgally for providing me with an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Funny and informative. Love the characters. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.

Another funny and touching scribble from Sarah. I think I will be buying copies as graduation gifts to my daughter and her friends, Good advice for artists

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I love this artist and these comics. I laugh at almost all of the comics. I relate to sooo many of the comics also. They are so funny, they touch on real life, the artist just gets it. I cannot wait until the next book and this one isn't even published yet. If you haven't read any of these books/comics yet, what is wrong with you? Run, don't walk to you local books store or computer and start. You will not regret it!
