Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Debbie Tung's work was a delight to experience. I absolutely loved the artistic style used throughout, which was a blend of whimsical caricature and detailed observation. The witty humor and relatable poignancy about the admiration of books, and all those truths and quirks associated with such an affinity, will ring true with any devoted book lover.

This was a cute collection of comics perfect for all book lovers. I can see these images being shared by bookworm, and library social media accounts for years to come. It is so relatable, and perfectly captures what it means to be a book lover.

I'm sure other people, upon reading Debbie Tung's first book, [book: Quiet Girl in a Noisy World], had the same thought I did. Debbie Tung could not be more relatable. She could not be talking more about who I am as a person.

Debbie Tung heard us. And her response was <b>challenge accepted</b>.

That first book had comics for us bibliophiles, but this is all Book Love, all day, every day. From the smell of books to the joy of being at home alone with a cup of tea and a good book, there is so much "SAME" that can be shouted at this book. You'll laugh, you'll smile at the warm fuzzies that sink into your soul as you read this wonderful collection of comics she wrote just for us.

Book Love by Debbie Tung is a fantastic little book for any book lover! I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The book is a collection of comics that show what life is like for a bookworm. We can all relate to the main character’s exploits in the library and bookshop! The drawings are very cute and well-done. Each shows the main character, Debbie. She visits libraries, bookshops, and reads in her own comfy space. She reads just about anywhere! Each cartoon is a single page and any bookworm will recognize themselves in these pages. I laughed out loud a few times at the situations because I can totally relate.

Very nice, upbeat cartoon series in book form that you will find yourself looking at again and again. I think some of these could be framed and hung on my wall. They appealed to me that much. So, if you are a bookworm like me, you have to read this. Well, we have to read everything, but this one will be something like a mirror, showing you how we look to the rest of the world.

Great stuff! Get this book!

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.
