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.

A graphic novel that encompasses what it’s like to love books. Depicted in comic style, a variety of bookish topics are covered – favorite books, book formats, bookstores, libraries, and more.

I loved Quiet Girl in a Noisy World, so I was excited to see a new book by Debbie Tung. Even better, this one is all about books and the bibliophiles who love them.

A delightful book. I could relate to so many of the scenarios shown. A perfect read for book lovers. Charming, amusing, and accurate.

I received a free eARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t tell you enough how excited I was to read this! When I saw the cover I just felt it was something I will totally relate to and I was proven right! Only 10 pages in and I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s obviously written and drawn by someone who loves books, to be read by fellow bookworms. My thoughts in every page were all “I know right!” and “This is so me!”

This is definitely a book I would recommend to every book lover I know. It also has book recommendations, and tips on how to avoid reading slump and get more reading done. The art is so cute and charming.

It perfectly captures all the irony and nuances of being a bibliophile. They really delivered on their promise—I felt so understood and appreciated. It accepts and celebrates all kinds of book lovers with open arms.

I found this collection of comics fun to peruse, but wasn't overly impressed with it. I don't have a lasting impression or memory of what it contained and nothing felt like it truly connected with me as a book lover.

I feel about this book the same way I did about Debbie Tung's previous book, 'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World': the pages would work well as Tumblr/Instagram posts, but they feel a little flimsy collected together.

The ideas explored are very simplistic, and basically boil down to three things:

1. Books smell good.
2. Books give us emotional reactions.
3. People who like books buy a lot of books.

The way the ideas are shown visually. are simplistic too. For example, the concept of 'being grateful' is the character (presumably the author/artist) holding her hands to her chest in otherwise empty space; the concept of 'following my passion' is the character walking along a path with no scenery or goals visible (why not something exciting like a magical castle, an endless ocean, fantastical creatures, a bustling city, a sweeping landscape, or literally anything that's interesting or unusual?). The art isn't ugly, just functional.

I'm also not entirely sure who the audience is – one of my favourite things about the 'books about books' genre (a genre I love) is that I get recommendations for books I haven't heard about. Even a casual reader isn't likely to get that here – the recommendations are classics we all know (The Catcher in the Rye, Little Women, Anne Frank's diary) or Oprah's Book Club style bestsellers (Wally Lamb, Jodi Picoult, Paulo Coelho). Which is fine, if that's your thing, but as an avid reader I like to find out about books I don't already know.

That said, some of the pages are funny and unique (I liked 'Memoirs I Could Write' and "More Things You Can Do to Fall in Love With Reading') and some would make cute posters for school libraries. It's a sweet book to page through if you have a spare five minutes.

This is a gorgeous collection of comics all relating to the topics of books and literary love. The art style is simple but elegant and all the scenarios are highly relatable to fellow book enthusiasts. I am a great fan of this author and loved her previous book about anxiety. Would recommend people check out her work as she is very talented and creates highly relatable and amusing comics.

Book Love is a wonderful collection of comics that will speak to all book lovers and reading enthusiasts. From libraries, to bookstores, to home collections, bibliophiles will see their favourite source of books represented. This book would make a great gift for avid readers.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Book Love is a collection of book-related cartoons that any book lover can relate to. I have seen a few of these cartoons floating around social media, but I didn't realize they were all by Debbie Tung. She has a knack for putting into her cartoons exactly the way books make me feel. My favorites in this collection include the cartoon about the sequel not coming out for a year and the cartoon entitled “A Bookworm's Essentials”.
