Book Love was adorable and spoke directly to my bibliophile soul. It gives tangibility to the feelings I have regarding written materials on a regular basis. It gives weight to the feeling of loss when you finish a really good novel. If you have even a slight book obsession this collection of comics is for you.

This is such a charming, relatable little book. Perfect for anyone who is obsessed with books and reading.

This is a quick read and I loved every minute of it. As a bookworm myself, I recognized so many aspects of my own reading experiences and obsessive book behaviors in each scene. Reading this was like viewing myself in a mirror. I also really enjoyed the gorgeous illustrations.

So very, very true!!!
This is a cartoon book depicting the love for books It describes the life, priorities and thinking of a book lover, it is funny, joyful, understanding and frustrating.
These days many of us have moved to the digital book, but only, either for convenience, or the fact that we have run out of room in our house - but it is true a physical book is special on many levels, some of which a depicted in this book.
A truer word never written!!

Firstly I'd like to thank NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review. The cover of this comic immediately hooked my interest and the description just screamed 'read me!', so that's exactly what I did and I loved every single page. Often times non-readers find bookworms and book-obsessed people such as myself a little strange and can't really relate, so reading something like this was like reading about myself. I was nodding along, laughing and smiling the whole way through. I related to every single page and just like in the book, now I want my own physical copy of this! It was so good! I especially liked the parts about being pulled into a bookstore to 'just look' and then walking out with 5 new books, and the parts about letting people borrow your books. The anxiety I got on that page when the man asked to borrow her book was very much the same as in real life! Overall, a sweet, cute, funny and highly relatable book that any bookworm would adore. 5 stars!

Lovely book with beautiful illustrations.Definitely what every book lover can relate to.
At places , it was repetitive but the overall charm of the book covers it well.

Book Love is a graphic novel by Debbie Tung. Her illustrations show images we as reader do, say, or think. In this graphic novel she talks about how we read, why we read, where we read.

I really enjoyed this book, I gave it a four out of five stars. I would love to pick up the final copy when its comes out. It was a great fast read I totally recommend it.

Thank you To NetGalley for providing me with the earc.

Oh my goodness! This graphic novel made my little reader heart so very happy. How adorable and accurate is Book Love? This is a must read for any avid reader because you're guaranteed to see yourself in this one. I found myself nodding my head frequently in agreement and giggling often. I'm guilty of like most of the things in Book Love. The illustrations are also freaking cute. Do yourself a favor and read this.

This is sheer book-loving perfection! I've followed Debbie's work for a while now and I love it all. Her illustration style is simple but the sentiments of her pieces are for bibliophiles everywhere - young and old; buyers and borrowers, paperback readers and ebook readers. This book is the perfect pick-me-up after a rough day, and would be an ideal gift for a bibliophile. I found myself relating to every page. I highly recommend it.

This really captures the soul of what it means to be a book lover. While reading I was filled with the warmth of sharing an inside joke with someone, knowing they understand even if no one else does. Would be a great book to maybe even loan that friend who just doesn't get it.

"Once a reader, always a reader."
Every bibliophile should take the time to read this cute and totally relatable graphic novel! Book Love adeptly encapsulates the reader's complex and utterly nuanced affection for books. It's entertaining and light and soooo heartwarming. I feel like I'm more connected to the book community because of this. It kind of reminds me of Little Moments of Love because of its easy format! It's a quick read and definitely a favorite of mine this year.

Cartoonist Debbie Tung's book will be adored by bibliophiles everywhere. It's not really a graphic novel. It's more of a collection of thoughts on books and reading with some of them serialized over several pages. It makes a perfect gift for the book lover. I received an electronic copy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley with the expectation of an honest review.

This book is adorable! As an avid bookworm, I connected deeply with many of the comics. Reading is truly a great experience and the author captured the range of emotions associated with reading very well. This book would be an ideal gift for anyone who loves reading! I hope to see more of this author's work in the future as well.

This was a really cute collection of comics about people who love to read. I loved the drawings, and I relate to some of the comic panels, such as when a friend suggests you do something outside, so you take a book outside, or when you're going somewhere and you know you'll finish your current book, so you bring multiple choices for your next book because you're not sure what you'll be in the mood for. Those things are relatable and cute. That said, some of the topics were almost too basic and made me wonder why they really needed to be illustrated in a book., such as "Places Where I Browse For Books." There are no surprises there.
It was a cute book to skim through.

Ahhh, reading this made me think of soooo many people, fellow bookish people in the community!

Book Love is literally a great book to gift to give your bookish friends. It is ensnaring, Debbie Tung captures the readers’ heart greatly. Here’s one that sums me up the most.

I know a lot will relate to this book, I did.

Majority of the strips caught my heart so well. From the moment of how reading gets one to the moment of being broke and still manages to sacrifice and buy a few good books to fit in the bag before going home, picking a book, then bring too many books because one can’t decide which or just playing it safe.

Though there is one I felt a wee excluded, I know it’s an ongoing thing, especially to international readers like me. But the library part made me feel that. It tugs my heart. Haha. I wish we had great libraries here.

Overall, it’s a fun and relatable read. And the drawings are totally accurately adorable!

Don't come with me for an unbies review of this book....I can relate to everything so I love it and, if you're here at GR is because you love books, so you can relate too...

Conclusion: Go to read this book like...right now!

Book Love is a cute graphic novel any book worm can relate to. I would definitely buy this book for all the bookworm people in my life.

This review will be posted around December on all the sources mentioned in my blog.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just HAD to get this book. I am a giant bookworm, and so I couldn't resist a book called Book Love. Plus this cover just shouted at me. That is exactly me, reading between stacks of big books!

And then I started reading and I fell further in love with the book. This author is a giant book worm, just like me! Eep! Every page has a comic/illustration, and I related to all of them. It doesn't happen often that I relate so much to something, but I did with this one. Buying books while needing food? Yessirree. Reading at a party? That is me!

I have to say that apparently I read quite a few of these already, as I recognise most of them. Not sure where I read them, maybe Twitter? Still I had fun reading them again, and also discovering several new ones.

I also had a laugh at when she either accidentally spoiled someone or when someone spoiled her. I know the feelings on both accounts. I always try to keep out of spoilers, but sometimes one can just slip out. And then there is the internet with all its spoilers and people expecting you to just read a book immediately.

The art was pretty decent. I guess it may look better in a book, but on my e-copy it looked a bit blurry and grainy at times.

All in all, a highly recommended book to all bookworms in the world!

When browsing NetGalley I couldn't believe my eyes that Debbie Tung's latest book was there and a Read Now too! I was so excited to start this book though I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to her previous book. I'm definitely glad that it lived up to my expectations.

I fell in love with Debbie Tung's comics when I saw them on facebook. I fell even more in love with her comics when I read her first book "Quite Girl in a Noisy World." Book love has the same feel as Quite Girl in a Noisy world but removes the introvert part and substitutes a book reader instead. I love how much fun this book was. Half the time I was convinced that the author has followed me around. Some of the comics seemed to be taken straight from my life.

I love the illustrations and I love the style the comics are in. It has a simplicity and yet on certain pages, it's complex. I just found myself in awe of Debbie Tung's abilities. This book resonates with me just like her first book but in a different kind of way.

I could definitely see any reader loving this book. It's easy to relate to and so much fun to read.

**I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

Adorable. As a book lover I found this wonderful and relate-able. It's a series of mini comics about what it's like to be a book lover. The illustrations are simple but heartfelt and some of them had me laughing as I could only say "I do that, me too!"
I loved the simplicity and the fellow feeling and it's one of those that you would love to dip into now and again.
Great reading.
