Amusing look into the world of a book lover

I don't read many comics or graphic novels but the title Book Love compelled me to pick it up. I'm so glad I did as Debbie Tung's humor and perspective of the dedicated book lover was on point every time. The dialogue and drawings were perfect. I read this in one sitting with the biggest smile on my face. If you are a book lover or know one, this book is the perfect present to yourself or them!
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

Book Love is the perfect read for every book lover. It's such a cute graphic novel and so relatable. Book Love is such a short and quick read, so it's perfect for when you want something to read during a break or just when you want to read something light.

I really loved reading Book Love and I cannot wait to read more written by Debbie Tung!

I've never related to a comic/cartoon book so completely - ever. This would make a great gift for every nerdy book lover. As a book lover I related to nearly every scenario in the book. The illustrations are adorable too and they are all in black and white. Debbie Tung shows how book lovers can't pass a book store without drooling and buying something; would rather stay home and read than go to a party; would rather lose sleep and finish a book than go to sleep not knowing the ending; and so much more. Lots of fun to read!

Most of the pages hit home and I could see myself doing many of the things the booklover in the comic strip did. I think everyone who loves books would see themselves in the pages.

Thanks to Debbie Tung and Andrews Mcmeel Publishing through Netgalley for an advance copy!

Thank you Netgalley!! this is a book for EVERY BOOK LOVER!! Just page after page of all the delights and dilemmas of reading IN CUTE COMIC FORM!! You will be making copies or cutting out the pictures to tack on your wall. So relatable. Kindle vs real book? check. Why you'd rather be reading than doing anything else? check. All the reasons characters stay with you and tug at you are drawn out in this book. Book hangover? You're not alone. Can't decide what to read next? these pics will make you feel in good company.

Every book lover should read this one. You know the feeling when you wrap yourself in a blanket and curl up on the sofa? This book evokes that feeling in a beautiful way. If a book could be a cuddly teddybear giving you lots of hugs, this book would be it.

To be recommended!

Enjoyable and charming but overall fairly superficial and light. More of a cute gift rather than engaging story

Adorable illustrations and cute comics about the life of a bookworm. If you have any love for books you will recognize yourself in these pages, but there is unlikely to be anything you didn't already know in this book. This book will make you say, "Me too!" or "Someone understands me!" and you will probably recommend it to all your bookish friends to share in these revelations.

It is a compilation of comics, and does not have an overarching plot but that does not detract from it's charm.

Loved this just as much as I loved her previous graphic novel!

Just as relatable and wonderful for a book lover, the illustrations are perfect, I read through this a few times as it made me giggle and feel all warm and cosy inside.

Beautiful.

*Huge thanks to Debbie Tung, Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own*

This graphic novel was soooo relatable and the art was very cute. It's full of short little comics all centered on the love of books and reading and I was able to relate to every single one. It was a delightful short read.

What to say about this book, other than it’s a must read for all book lovers. It would make the perfect, most thoughtful gift for any book lover. It allows every book fan to feel validated and warmhearted about our beloved pastime. Beautifully done and this author gets it!

There was no way I wasn't going to love this comic. It's called Book Love! I loved the illustrations. I felt like this book was about me! I enjoyed it so much that I have pre-ordered the hardcover. A must read for book lovers.

I loved this book! It really made me laugh.
There are comics here that relate to anyone who loves books.
I have gone through most if not all of the funny situations described, and it was great to see them!

I'm going to keep this review short but sweet, exactly like this book!



I found this short graphic novel extremely endearing. I read it in one sitting and found myself smiling uncontrollably. I think this book describes bookish life perfectly. For what this book is, it's perfect and I wouldn't change anything.

This is the book which every booklover should read. It is funny, its hilarious, it is so unrealistically realistic.
.
Feeling of deja vu; overwhelms the reader and everything seems so familiar and you think subconsciously have done this all.
.
Cartoons are funny, engaging and hit the nail on the head and covers everylife a booklover could live.
.
Emotions arising out of reading books are nicely depicted and you will laugh many times reading it.
.
I loved the book and look forward for more from the cartoonist.
.
Only drawback I could find was little repetition of few themes. Otherwise excellent book for any booklover.

Great illustrations, any book lover will enjoy this. I think it will be an amazing gift. I highly recommend it

This is my life in pictures. I squee-ed when I saw this book and the title, I really loved reading Quiet Girl In a Noisy World and knew that this title would be just as fun as the last. Book Love is all about being a lover of books and reading and all the quirky things we tend to do. The whole things is in a graphic novel format with loads of illustration. The artist/author does such a good job describing book lovers and loves in these illustrations and had me laughing out load and saying 'yup' a lot as I agreed with the weird things I also do (smelling books, having to go into every bookstore, always needing more books, having issues loaning books out, etc.)

Everything about this was what I needed and wanted. The comic strips are so relatable and down to earth even if a bit odd... we all have our quirks. If you are a book lover or know one, this is a great book/ gift!! I highly suggest it and adore it.

A collection of short comics centered around the joys, heartbreak, and deep love that readers have with books. Very few offered new insight or "feels" into the bookish world, but does that really matter in the world of book lovers? This is a charming read that will make any book lover feel seen and would be a great little gift for any and all lovers of books to enjoy.

Even though this book is laid out as a comic book, it's just the perfect Christmas, Birthday, Boss Day, etc. book as a gift for serious book lovers like me. I got the impression that Ms. Tung followed me around while I talk to myself about books and more books. That is the main reason I purchased a book store a few years ago, it's life, my life. All off the pages will make you go, "What, that's just what I was thinking?" How can one not know the difference from the original book cover to the one created for the movie? One is the original and other is just freaking sinful. I plan on ordering 10 copies for the store and only order for my serious, serious friends. It’s is the BEST book of 2018.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this title. I really enjoyed it. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

Debbie Tung gets me.

[I just went back and read the review I wrote from her first book - <i>Quiet Girl in a Noisy World</i>, and guess what’s there?? <i>Yes! I love it when a book - even better a comic book - puts into words things that have rolled around in my brain.</i> I could write the same thing about this book.]

I just spent this whole book agreeing with every page.

I’m going to a resort this spring with my girlfriend, and the most exciting thing about it is the library!

Some things are funny because they’re funny. Some things are funny because they’re true. This is both.

I love Debbie Tung’s cartoons - I guess mainly because I can relate. If you want to understand the bibliophiles in your life, check this out. If you are a bibliophile this <i>has</i> to be part of your collection.
