I've loved Slothilda since she first started popping up on my social media - and this collection definitely does not disappoint. The book is a quick read and is great for anyone who struggles with their inner sloth! Cute illustrations and relatable content.

Absolutely hilarious and relatable narrative that I could not put down from the first second. I really related to the main character.

I love this little sloth! I found myself relating to many of the illustrations, especially the ones with Peanut the dog. I'm a Slothhilda fan for life after reading this book. My library definitely needs a copy and I want one for myself as well!

Considering the spate of comic strips and e-comics turned into fully-fledged books recently, this has to stand as a success. It's not brilliant, mind - just a lot better than many have been. I liked the artwork with its subtle, simple colouring, and the usual gags about exercising, perceived laziness and so on are actually on the better side. It is a representation of stereotypes, courtesy of the resolved-to-never-make-a-NYE-resolution type of person, but as I'm one of those I quite enjoyed this. Three and a half stars.

Super cute. This is a great entry to the graphic novel format for people who have read webcomics and are looking for a similar sense of humor.

Slothilda is my spirit animal! She and Peanut are so adorable and so many of the frames are shareworthy - I wasn’t surprised to see that she has an Instagram and I immediately followed! I’ll definitely be buying a hard copy of the book so that I can have the cuteness on my shelf. I hope he creates another volume so that we can have more Slothilda (and Peanut)! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.

I was granted access by netgalley.com to an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I joke that the sloth is my spirit animal, so I loved this humorous gem. Highly recommended!

Slothilda

I Picked Up This Book Because: Totally sucked in by the cute sloth on the cover


The Story:

This book Killed Me Softly. Really, it tells my whole story with its words/drawings. This is super cute and funny. It’s not often I wish I had a hard copy of a book but I definitely wish I had one of this one and a coffee table to display it on.



The Random Thoughts:

I'm so tickled that she has a dog named Peanut.


5 Stars

I’ll try to write something sensible here but it’s possible that in the end, I’ll fangirl all around the place because this little sloth and her corgi are here to steal your heart away and I think I have found my spirit animal! I also think that in my previous life (and maybe in the previous one, too, and the previous previous previous one) I was a sloth. And Slothilda is one of us, girls (and boys!). She’s an adorable, fluffy, sweet and so so so cute little sloth who is trying hard to juggle adulting, keeping a healthy lifestyle, working and being an introvert. Sometimes life is really hard!

I loved the art! And how can you not, honestly? But I loved the comics, too. They are so real and fun! I smiled a lot while reading and I laughed out loud too, and that was just so refreshing! Also, it was a little bit creepy because well, I may sound paranoid here, but I think the author has some hidden cameras in my apartment because… well, Slothilda is me!! Shocking, right?
Anyway, once I started it I had to finish it right away, and okay, it’s a short book (maybe a little bit too short, because I would have liked more adventure with her, but I am greedy, I know!) but I got back to it from time to time in the last week, because it’s just something that cheers me up, and that’s so great!!!!

First of all, thanks to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for approving my request and sending me an eARC in exchange for a honest review.
You have to know English isn’t my first language, so feel free to correct me if I make some mistakes while writing this review.

You have no idea how much I liked this graphic novel.

Slothilda is basically every one of us.
We share the firm decision to exercise and to go to the gym, except we are wiped out after one day.
We eat something delicious and calorific and we instantly regret it.
We procrastinate everything because a nap is so much attractive - we can always do it later, can't we?
We hide everything inside a closet and right on time that everything falls on us when we open it.
We let the laudry pile get taller than us.

I loved these drawings and their colors and I got a good laugh out of these comics.
I fell in love with Slothilda and her dog, Peanut - they were so adorable!
And I related so much to her - maybe even too much.

But we are allowed to be a sloth from time to time - there's always tomorrow, right?

I am a fan of Slothilda and sloths in general, and therefore, this was a must-read for me. I loved the art and found myself smiling and giggling throughout the entire book.

I think we all have a little bit of sloth inside us. Some of us are better at keeping it in check more so than others, but I think it's there, and because of that, I believe many people will be able to relate to Slothilda's struggles. I probably related to the diet and exercise bits the most, but also adored the fur baby parts. Seriously, could Slothtilda get any cuter? Add Peanut her dog, and yes she can.

I enjoyed this fun little book, which made me chuckle and smile and was a wonderful little pick-me-up for me.

Slothilda: Living the Sloth Life is a fun collection of short comics about a cute sloth who prefers relaxing to tending to life’s many responsibilities such as: work, cleaning, and exercise. In Slothilda’s world, naps reign and snack foods are abundant.

“My authentic self is a couch potato.” This is just a sample of some of the highly relatable mottos of Slothilda. She is a girl after my own heart, and I think many people will find this book quite sweet.

I have also posted this review to Goodreads. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

When I saw this book I have to say that I did want to read it based on its cover. Simply put, I think sloths are one of the most adorable animals. (Sloths, Llamas and Green Sea Turtles are obviously the best of friends. Why, you might ask? Because they are all so cute. Enough said, I think.)

Before I regale you with the benefits of loving sloths let me move onto my thoughts on "Slothilda".

Slothilda is adorable and hilariously relate-able--probably more than I would want her to be! With wonderful illustrations we meet Slothilda and are introduced to the battles she faces against her will for better health and a fuller life and her deep desire to not do laundry or use her treadmill for its intended purposes.

This is a quick read (think 10 minutes) but if you need something to quickly allow you to laugh at the minute battles you also face on a daily basis... well, here you are. This is perfect for you!

Now, I must end this so that I can continue my plotting...ahem, planing on how to convince someone to let me have a pet sloth.

I received an electronic copy of this title in exchange for my unbiased review.

Cute art style and an honest look at life. Easy and quick read. Good for teens and adults. The characters and artwork are perfect for merchandising. Not a lot of content but it was a nice way to relax and laugh without having to commit much time to a graphic novel. It seemed a bit repetitive to some but life is that way most of the time. The obsession with dieting and exercise is something many people struggle with.

My review appears on Weekend Notes. Thanks to the publisher for sharing this one. I requested it hoping for cute pictures of sloths, and it did not disappoint.

As soon as I saw the cover for Slothilda, I wanted to read it immediately, because the title character is so adorable that I couldn't pass her by. I dove into this one as soon as my Netgalley approval came through, because, come on—a cute little sloth with her Corgi pup, lamenting the struggles of a lazy life? Yes, please.

Slothilda is absolutely just as precious as I expected it to be, and then some. The artwork is fun and light, and Slothilda's plight is totally relatable. A vicious cycle of working out, then eating junk food, and repeating ad nauseam? Using your workout equipment as something to hang clothes on? Being glued to your phone all day, hiding your clutter, and spending money on all the wrong things? I think a lot of us have been there, and I know I sure have those days, so it was kind of fun to see it taken out of its naturally less-than-ideal state and translated into this cutesy little character who you can't fault for her laziness, even if you wanted to, because it makes her so happy!

Not to get too deep or anything, but Slothilda also functioned as an unexpected moment of self-reflection for me. On the one hand, some of what we see in the little comics had me a little like, "Ouch, just tag me next time, huh?" and feeling self-conscious and like I need to make some changes in my life. On the other hand, some of the things shown are so harmless and make little Slothilda and her pup so happy that it drew an opposite reaction from me: How often do we force ourselves to fit a certain criteria just because it's what society says is "best" for us? Do we do more harm than good sometimes? I know, "it's not that deep, Destiny," but it's food for thought.

Anyways, this book is adorable, Slothilda is a precious little character, and I loved it. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's so over-simplified that it doesn't feel like it should be considered a full release. It would make a good coffee table book, but if I had paid full price, I can't help but think I'd feel a little bit let down, as most of the book is empty white page space.

Thank you so much to Skyhorse Publishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The illustrations in this book are adorable and perfect. The subject matter is light, perhaps a little too light for the contents of an entire book. A few of the comics stood out to me (for example, the one about drowning in work), but for the most part I read through without being moved to humor. While they may not readily appeal to outside first-time readers of Slothilda, these little comics all in one place are sure to appeal to fans of the online content.

Slothilda is adorable! I've seen her floating around the internet and this collection is like her greatest hits.

Even if her fuzzy little face and corgi companion don't end up on a shelf in my work library, they sure as heck will show up in my personal library.

Are you a fan of carbs? Yes. The internet? Yes. And naps? Well, I like sleep! Slothilda is your spirit animal! Cool.

Slothilda was first brought to my attention when it was posted in a book group that someone was going to read. I saw a sloth, and I was immediately interested. When I read the synopsis and put everything together, I knew there was something worth reading. I was glad that I was approved to read this comic. 

This comic can be relatable if you find yourself procrastinating a lot, or even just doing other things instead of what you're supposed to be doing. Even if you love food, there are a few funny food comics in there as well.

I did enjoy most of the comics that were featured, however, there were some that I understood but did not enjoy as much as the others. If I did not find these ones not as a funny, they may be funny to someone else. The humor in the comics are really enjoyable to read. Overall, a very cute, and funny read.

I noticed this adorable and very short picture book/illustrated book on Netgalley and I had to request it as it looked so cute and fun...and it was. Slothilda is just the cutest thing ever and her dog is too. I have seen this character on instagram but I didn't know there was a book until I saw it on Negalley. I have to admit that I definitely relate to Slothilda and I definitely recommend this cute book as a stocking filler for christmas.
