I feel attacked by this book with how relatable absolutely everything in it is, like, am I secretly the main character?? Feels like it. Any bookworm would LOVE this book (I mean, it's a book, so obviously, but it's also the story of our lives!!). Would recommend everyone I know (aka, my family, friends, neighbors, friends of friends, family's friends, EVERYONE) to read it.
What a wonderful book for readers! I related to every single page!
These are illustrations about the author's love of books. It depicts anything from book recommendations (Harry Potter, Maus, Persepolis, etc) to ways to arrange books (on my bookshelf is grouped by genre and then ordered by color).
It also has suggestions on how to get out of a book slump, different types of libraries, book formats, and much more.
It was an absolute delight to read and I had a smile on every page. Highly recommend it to all book lovers.
Received ARC from the publisher via Netgalley
Enjoyed the wonderful illustrations and situations that represented book love. This is definitely a book for those who already adore reading. I would consider buying prints of the pages to give to my book-loving
I was having a bad day and then I heard that this book of comics about books was available for review from NetGalley and downloaded it. Did I mention I am now having a great day? The comics were so relatable and any booklover should enjoy this. Yes, I have seen some of these as memes before. Do I care? No. I have found my people, my book people.
Think Calvin and Hobbes comic strips or books. Then imagine this as a book.
When this book is out published, I intend to purchase the hardcover. It's that GOOD!
Debbie Tung gets me as a book worm, book nerd, book lover, bookaholic, bibliophile, and bibliomaniac. Debbie SO gets me!
I laughed, nodded with gusto, exclaimed "Truth!", cringed, giggled, and you name it.
I love love love love this book with a passion! This is one of my newest favorite books of all time and it WILL be on my real bookshelf!
For those who LOVE books, you have got to read this. You will relate to some, most and all of the book. For me, it was ALL!
I cannot wait to have it in my hands physically!
I recieved this book from Andrew McMeel Publishing Comic and Graphic Novels through Net Galley. Thank you so much! I'm going to read and read and read this comic book forever!
This book was SO CUTE! As a book lover myself, I identified with a lot of the scenarios in this book. I also loved the beautiful illustrations. I am not a big graphic novel person, but I wanted a quick read in the middle of all of the chaos that has been my personal life and stressful reading/blog life. Definitely recommend this one!
This is actually a very charming book of cartoons about what it is like to love books, to love reading books, and to love buying books.
Probably would make a perfect gift book for those you know who love books.
The two cartoons below are written almost as though the author had looked in on me. Many times I have though I’m just going to read a little, and spent the next few hours reading. Likewise, when I was done with a story, I missed the protagonists.

Good book for those who, well, love books.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
Loved it! Will be placing an order tomorrow. Will order this one and Quiet girl for our graphic novel section
Cute drawings about book lovers. Especially beautiful illustrations that would be wonderful if sold as wall art.
As soon as I saw Book Love popping up, I knew I couldn't resist. That title, that cover and that blurb? Oh yes, this graphic novel does a thorough job of convincing any booklover they should pick it up. And rightfully so, because Book Love would make the perfect gift for any booklover out there. Adorable illustrations and many many bookish situations you will be able to relate to instantly... This graphic novel is a little goldmine of bookish love and speaks for all of us booklovers out there. Funny, relatable, entertaining and well crafted... Book Love is one to add to your 2019 wishlist!
A delightful read! I found myself relating to everything in book! A great visual representation of what it's like to love books and reading.
BOOK LOVE is a collection of illustrations and graphics about what it means to be a book lover. And every page is another incredibly relatable drawing.The illustrations are wonderful, gorgeously rendered and the captions are so witty and perfect. I want prints of every page. I would recommend this to every book lover (especially as a gift!). It's a must read and must have book!
Enjoyable, funny, and relatable just like Debbie's debut, Quiet Girl in a Noisy World. The difference is, this one is specifically targeted towards us bookworms.
There were many pages in this book that made me scream internally, ME! ME! ME! Yeah, many me moments. I would think many fellow book lovers feel the same way. This would be a nice decoration book to add to your book decorations (as suggested in the book).
Recommend to all book lovers out there, which is to say, all people on goodreads.
Witty, cute and fun! Book lovers will surely be able to identify with this funny comics. With the struggles to keep up with your TBR to that constant trip to the library and bookstore. Some may not be original, but overall I enjoyed it. Perfect for bookworms.
This cartoon book explores the world of the bibliophile: how they spend great amounts of time not only reading, but thinking about reading. Book lovers collect books, treasure books, and talk about books.
Tung is able to capture the magic of a book lover's life in these pages, and bring a smile to our lips.
This is a cute collection of book-themed comics. Some are a bit repetitive, but I think a true bookworm would enjoy this and could identify a lot with the main character.
Thank you to Debbie Tung, Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley fr the opportunity to read and review this book. All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.
Book Love is a collection of cute comics regarding all things books. The collection is likely best suited for the book obsessed, though I think anyone who has felt an attachment to books in some capacity would find them relatable. I enjoyed the illustration style, but some of the comics are a bit repetitive.
I have posted this review to Goodreads. My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.
As an avid reader, these comics are very relatable and funny. I was smiling the whole time. I love books about books! I highly recommend this because it is so cute.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this comic.
The cover and title instantly drew me in and I immediately downloaded and started reading. I finished in one sitting. An extremely fast, gripping and entertaining read.
Perfect for any book lover, this comic focuses on a readers' love and passion for any and all books. This is a celebration of reading and a humorous portrayal of bookworms in general!
This story also has some stunning black and white illustrations throughout.
Overall, I would highly recommend giving this a go if it sounds like something you would be interested in!
Unable to preview due to file error - the only visible part of the pdf were the page numbers. The cover looks super cute, and as a book lover, I would have loved to have been able to preview this title.
