Love Catana Comics on Instagram, love Catana Comics in book form. For fans of Sarah's Scribbles and anyone who can appreciate romantic humor.
This is a wonderful collection of cute cartoons. Very sweet and often funny. They are also very relatable for anyone who is in a new or long term relationship.
I got an ARC copy of this book.
I love seeing these comics pop up as memes. I usually smile or laugh. So when I saw that this was being printed into a book, I go pretty darn excited. I snapped it up real quick.
If you are familiar with the comic, even through casual browsing of meme apps, then you won't have any surprises with this book. I don't think there was a single new piece in the book. All of the comics were ones I had seen before, for free. So what makes this book work getting? There is no special or new content that I could see. There is no exclusive in this book only sort of material. That's why it is not a perfect five star. There was nothing to make this book extra exciting.
The comics themselves range from some of the older comics to some that are fairly newer. They focused on the relationship between the artist and her boyfriend. They were cute. They were goofy. I sent one of them to my partner to tease him while he was at work. He has the a similar reaction when he sees me in a tie, so it was only fair.
If you are a super fan of this series, then this book is great. If you are looking for a sappy gift, then perfect. If you are looking for something you couldn't get for free on iFunny or LoLpics, look elsewhere.
Are you familiar with this characters? Well, sure, it wasn't me or my drawings XD
I already found some like that on internet a while ago, and apparently it's available to access through NetGalley and so I read it.
The comics kinda cute, and if you are follower of "My Giant Nerd Boyfriend" webtoon, you might found some similarity and like it as well.
A fun read, but I feel it's a long read though it only has less than 200 pages.
Rate: 3/5
Read within 1 hour.
So cute, so recognizable and just funny. Several times, I thought 'omg that's us'.... Will definately keep an eye out for Catana Comics in future.
I love Catana's webcomics, and I'm so glad she has collected some of her work in a book! You need to pick this up if you and your partner are not the typical couple.
A light read that just makes the reader feel good. Cute, simple illustrations that have a warm, positive message.
Illustrated books are surely making a home in my heart, and Catana comics has been making it's rounds on social media for being simply adorable! When I got a chance to read it, overjoyed is what i was!!!
I loved the simple illustrations and how relatable they were. I could totally relate to a lot of them with respect to my own married life! Kudos to the Artist for capturing the simple bliss of being in a relationship so well.
Catanas's are the most lovely, cute and bordering cheesy comics.
The blurb gets it right mentioning Sarah Andersen. This comics have that quirkiness but adding a couple extra layers of sweetness.
'Little momments of love' is a graphic memoir of the author's relationship with her boyfriend. It's pretty relatable, at least for me as a girl being in a newish relationship with a guy 45 cm. taller than me. But, it still keeps a lot of their personality which usually takes us in really funny plot twists.
I hope for our own sake that Catana and John live happily ever after!
This was adorable!! My heart! I loved this so much. The drawings were so cute. Such a sweet and fun read.
I love these comics so this book is amazing. It has been a great read. A laugh almost every page, several I wasnt to just print out and hang up on the wall.
I am so glad I received a free ebook ARC from Netgalley via the publisher.
We've probably all seen these adorable couple comics floating around social media, awwwed at that them or at least smiled, and maybe even shared them, tagging a significant other in them. This collection is basically a compendium of those little vignettes of couple life, and while it's very cute and skimmable, that's pretty much all you're getting, albeit in larger quantity. This would be a fun coffee table sort of book, but it becomes a bit one-note and saccharine when read as a book. That said, it's a book that will be widely enjoyed and probably exchanged as anniversary presents here and there.
Note: I received this book from the author/publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Ok, this is straight up adorable. I've been a fan of Catana's comics for a little bit and follow her on Instagram but the book collected all the cutest ones together for one big awww fest. Maybe because I'm currently one of those dweebs in a cutesy relationship or maybe because I'm a hopeless romantic, this book just really made my heart smile. I had to stop reading at several points and show my bf a comic while screeching "LOOOOOK ITS USSSSS" (total: 8 screeches). The thing Catana excels at is showing how real, everyday type love is still adorable and meaningful. Because life isn't always huge showcases of love, it's the nice good morning texts and sharing your fries (or stealing his fries...whichever). The art and the stories are both so cute and portray a realistic modern romance. I can't wait to see more from the Catana/John relationship!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE COMICS! ♥♥♥ I'm so happy that she decided to form her comics into a book! I love how their relationship is simple while being relatable. Each comic reminded me of how my fiance and I are around one another. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for something cute, funny, and relatable.
I'm a huge fan of Catana Comics online and have been known to tag my other half in a few on Facebook, which is why I'd already seen most of these comics on the soppy-nerd circuit already but it's a gorgeous collection, I think this is the perfect Valentine/Anniversary gift for the softie in your life. Be warned though, this collection is very, very, very sweet and sentimental (as well as funny and weird) so don't pick it up if you're not comfortable with the warm fuzzies.
**I was given access to a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.**
This was phenomenal! I've seen her comics here and there on Facebook, shared by friends. But I don't think I ever followed her myself. I just thought this was so sweet, I had to give it a look.
Awwwww!!! I love it! The comics are simple and nice to look at, the moments captured are generally sweet and sometimes hilarious, and they were clean enough that when my son popped up and started reading along, I didn't have to freak out.
I absolutely recommend you check this out!
A tiny girl is in love with a bearded man who towers above her. Thankfully he loves her too, enough to put up with her occasionally over-the-top weirdness. How small is she? She’s so tiny she fits in his hoodie. . . while he’s wearing it.
Each page is in the standard four-panel comic strip format, and there’s rarely any dialogue, but they are superb in showing the little things in relationships that make humans fall in love, or stay in love, despite obstacles. It’s sweet and charming and most of all hilarious.
The one that really got to me was when she says she remembered everything. . . while he waits for her to come back for her purse. The almost-embarrassed smile is just perfect, especially considering how broad the artwork is.
Sometimes she’s a little mean and tries to pass it off as endearing, like putting her cold hands on him, or zip-tying him to a chair. I don’t know if her fetish is his butt or his beard. . . though I suppose it could be both. I definitely don’t want to spend hump days with her. Thankfully the cuteness outweighs those moments, like the “It’s my lips!” routine. There are tiny touches throughout that makes this all the more special, like when she grabs onto the edge of the panel with her tiny adorable hands. His best moment is showing off his kissing-forehead magic to his friend; his thumb is the perfect capper.
“Nope. Never letting go.”
The quick shower thing was right on the mark; at least the author can make fun of herself.
And that’s probably the cutest author pic ever. . .
4.5 pushed up to 5/5
That's the sweetest and cutest little st of comics, they're funny and cute, some are very relatable. Loved this.
A little review for a little book
Wow I have to stop with the cutesie books.
This isn't as great as Sarah Scribbles for me, but very relatable. My brain says this is a 3 star book but my heart....well, it also says 3 stars because although this is cute and relatable, it falls flat and ultimately, brings about no new or beautiful realisations.
Thing is, this is a pretty exclusive little comic. It's only really relatable for people who have been in a relationship with each other for a long time. Its a little niche, but if you belong to the niche it's pretty cute.
I'd seen a few of these comic strips online before and really enjoyed them, so I thought reading the book would be fun. However, whilst some of them were amusing, it was a bit too cutesy and twee to read all in one go. I would have liked to have seen friendships and family relationships as well as just the couple. There are definitely some good comic strips in the book, but it's a bit much to read in one sitting.
