I nearly screamed for joy when I saw a Sarah's Scribbles collection for review. This obviously grabbed me with the title, as well as the author. Her work is perfect for anyone, but especially a book lover, as she does a lot of comics involving books.

Sarah's Scribbles are an online comic created by Sarah Andersen. Her comics are semi-autobiographical and follow her life experiences, friends, pets, etc. The comics she posts are in a funky simple art style, but you can check out her installations that are beautiful in their self here.

The first section of this book is a series of comics that involve different subjects, but mostly about the struggles of adulting. Because let's be honest - it's a struggle. A few of the subjects that she touches on are being an introvert, dealing with responsibilities, time management, reading, retail therapy, and obviously cats.

The last section is kind of like a shout out to the aspiring artists of the world, and how the internet is a dark and scary place because people are just extremely mean and horrible; but things will get better. So if you create, just put yourself out there. It's really nice to see a message like that from someone you admire.

I don't want to go too far into detail because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen her comics. You can check her out on the web though, she posts her comics on a few different sites, but facebook is the most universal social media and you can find her at: https://www.facebook.com/DoodleTimeSarah/

This is the 3rd book she's released, so be sure to check out the others, Adulthood Is a Myth: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection and Big Mushy Happy Lump !

If you don't pick up her book, please at least give her a follow. It's totally worth it, and it's awesome to support artists. :)

I absolutely loved this and it immediately cheered me up, as Sarah Andersen always manages to do. I discounted a star because her previous books were funnier and more unique. I will definitely be buying this book as soon as it comes out!

In the light of the concluding illustrated essay here - all tortured souls need creativity, and we should all be creative online despite the trolls, and the world just needs more art and opinion, etc - the contents here can seem quite flippant and disposable. Cats are cute. Anxieties can grow behind our backs. Oh, and periods aren't nice. But once again the core of the book is actually fun, sincere, and well created, even if the artist's new blurry-cam digital FX box is used a little too often. You do certainly feel a kinship with the artist, and the snap with which she makes her point does go to prove some relevance to the content, however seemingly lightweight. Recommended.

I judge a book by it's cover first. If I like that, I pick it up. In this case, it happened to be a book by Sarah Andersen so I couldn't ignore that, now could I?

This book is just what you'd expect from Sarah Andersen. The simple, but very effective, cartoon placed in very very relatable scenes almost made me think this book was about me. It's full with everyday scenes from life and the struggles that you can encounter. It deals with some serious issues like anxiety but also a lot of fun stuff like fluffy animals.
In the second part of the book Sarah Andersen gives you some tips on 'how to be an artist'. This might not be something everybody will relate to. On the other hand, these tips could also function as 'how to just be a decent f*cking human' and therefore I believe everyone should read this.

This is a perfect book to crawl under a blanket with and it contains artwork you should show all your friends. And if you just can't get enough of these funny comics, Sarah Andersen's Instagram (sarahandersencomics) is regularly update with some new fun stuff!

Sarah Anderson's comics are always relatable and very funny. I really liked the first part but then she talked about people who want to become or are artists and gave them advice. And while I agree with her sentiments on that subject, they just weren't relatable to me; I'm not an aspiring artist and therefore not really her target audience.

I couldn't believe my luck when I found Sarah Andersen's new book on NetGalley! She has definitely never failed to crack me up and I sped through the book in about an hour because I just couldn't put it down. Every single strip is so relatable and I couldn't help but chuckle through the entire book. The guide at the end for aspiring artists was pretty well written and entertaining.

When I saw this was available as 'Read now' on Netgalley, I was so happy! (Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley, obvs) Then I realized I didn't have adobe digital edition...then I needed an account....then it failed to set me up an account...and FINALLY I worked it all out and read this. I adore Sarah's work, and I own physical copies of her other two books. I'm definitely still going to buy this one even after reading it, because her art is just so darn cute and looks good on my shelves.

As always, a funny and relatable look at life as we know it these days. Read her stuff and see if you don't agree! Five stars.

I love Sarah Andersen's work! The comics were relatable, funny, and unique. The artwork is quirky and amazing as usual too. I also really liked the inspirational part near the end to those who wish to become artists. Can't wait for more books like these in the future from Sarah because I'll definitely read them. :)

How does she do it? She just distills everything down to the perfect snort worthy joke while simultaneously totally understanding what it is to be a woman and an artist and a cat addict. The later half of the book is a soapbox moment about ignoring the trolls and making art that is so sincere it makes me want to hug everyone trying to create and make in the dumpster fire of a world we're currently living in. Everyone needs Sarah Scribbles in their lives!!!

I always enjoy Sarah’s collections. Much of what her strips cover are thoughts and feelings I relate to very much. Funny, relatable, and a great reminder that we are not alone in what is sometimes a lonely world.

Another delightful and funny offering from Sarah Anderson.

Another great collection from Sarah Andersen. Always so relatable and funny. The end of this collection gives advice for inspiring artists and touches on the online world we now live in.

I have yet to find a more relatable comic writer than Sarah Andersen.

If you've read Sarah Andersen's other books or seen her comics online, you know more or less what to expect from this book. It's not groundbreaking, it's not a story, it's just a bunch of cute strips by someone who is having a lot of fun and has some things to say -- and that's great. This book did change things up a bit by including a section on art and being online in this day and age; not bad or untrue, but I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't more strips speaking for themselves (although the section is illustrated).

It's a fun collection, and I still find myself saying "it me!" when I read Andersen's strips about anxiety, introversion, etc. Not sure how much of this will be new if you've read the strips online, though -- I read them only sporadically, and still recognised quite a few.

I love Sarah Andersen's comics. So I was super excited when I heard about the third comic in this series. Even though I enjoyed Herding Cats a lot, I didn't love it as much as the last two. There were a handful of scribbles that were super relatable and had me laughing out loud. I feel like there is enough material in this comic that any person could relate too. The illustration is simple, short and funny. I am not a huge comic/graphic novel reader, but I would devour Sarah's Scribbles type of comics. You can read them whenever and I am sure that you will want to share the comics with your friends, family and on social media to express yourself. There are like 10+ scribbles I want to post on Instagram right away.

This is the third book I have read by Sarah Anderson and I think this one may be my favorite so far. I enjoyed it so much more than her second one. I love that she uses her art to let others who are introverted, into fandom, love reading that they are not alone out there. Her slight obsession with cute animals hits a little too close to home though.

I personally adore Sarah Andersen's comics. I think her art is really fun and playful, but most importantly so relatable. I find myself in most of her work and I can always relate to the stuff she puts out. She is really good at capturing.... well, life in general, especially of a 20-something year old. And most of her work is really good-natured and hopeful and I really enjoy that. This is all true for this collection. It made me laugh out loud and I really appreciate that, because not a lot of stuff does. It's a really unique quality of her work. Most of it is due to the fact that it's so true, that you can't help but laugh. While I've seen most of these comics online, some stuff is new to me and I loved when it's all wrapped up nicely in one collection! Oh and the second part of the collection, where she gives advice to people looking to post their art online can be really helpful, especially for some younger people that are just starting out. I found it to be really insightful, plus I think it works for any sort of content online, not just comics themselves. Really enjoyed it as always.

I love Sarah Andersen books and I’m so pleased to see there’s a third one coming. Her profile is growing in the UK and would benefit from offline marketing. This book features a bit more serious advice than her other two, which I didn’t enjoy as much as the comics. However, a lot of her followers are young people inspired by her success so I am sure there is demand for this.

I chanced upon this book at the start of my day in the NetGalley catalog and was very happy about this discovery. I proceeded to download and read it almost immediately.

This book is a collection of her individual comics ( on instagram/facebook and elsewhere),  a few I personally had not seen before. The beauty of the panels are that most of them are instinctively relatable with subtle humour. For those who have seen or been in some of those situations, the punch line is apparent. This book comes in two parts though, with one part being the panels. The second part is encouragement to deal with trying to do something in this interconnected world where everyone has an opinion, some of which you want and others not. This section is also accompanied by associated comics which help drive the point in the usual laid back style.

This book is definitely for the die-hard fans of the author. For those who are new, it can still be a great experience.

Sarah Andersen is a brilliant and hilarious artist who is always so relatable. She had me grinning and smiling at every page. I know so many people who would love this and her collection too!
