This book is spot on. I identified with most of the scenarios and was nodding and laughing my way through it. I highly recommend it for both book lovers and those who put up with us (so that they can have a slightly better understanding of what drives us and that yes, it is magnetically impossible to pass up a bookshop without peeking in).
It does make me feel better to know that I'm not crazy or alone in my book love.

And I must say, the phone booth library has to be one of the best things I've ever seen.

Book Love is a book of comics by the very talented Debbie Tung. It talks about the life of bookworms. It’s very funny and I recognize myself in a lot of the scenes drawn in this lovely little book. The illustrations are really nice. It’s a quick read and would make the perfect gift for a book lover. I’m definitely going to check out Debbie Tung’s other book.

Someone wrote a cute comic series for this big ol' book nerd. I loved this book so much and it was really relatable. The art style was done really well and went between sweet and simple drawings to pieces that were more elaborately desgined. I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this!

Perhaps it’s a silly thing to say that I was utterly blown away by Debbie Tung’s <i>Book Love</i>. There’s really no question as to what this book was going to be about, no possibility that I wouldn’t have related to it, and yet I find myself in a place of feeling as though no book has ever truly captured my feelings quite so precisely when it comes to the wonderful books that I’ve grown up loving all my life. <i>Book Love</i> is just so relatable, I feel as though it took a piece of me and turned it into a novel. And I know there are so many others out there who are going to feel exactly the same when they pick this up.

From that annoying friend who always builds your excitement when they mention loving a story only to dash it down when they tell you they love it because they saw the film but have never actually read the book, to the boyfriend who is simply a beautiful wonder as he offers to buy you a book (mine did for our anniversary), every second of this graphic novel fills you with a deep sense of companionship. And really, what more could we ask from the books that find their ways to our shelves? I saw myself in so much of this book and it felt truly wonderful to feel connected to the author as a result.

The love of all things book related is just so deeply ingrained in myself that I could not help falling in love with a book that basically embodies that very feeling in physical format. I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to read this one and you can be certain that come January 2019, I will be buying this book for myself. Perhaps I’ll get it on my birthday since that seems somehow perfectly appropriate. And if you love books, even a little bit, believe me when I say you’ll find yourself among these pages just as I did. And it will feel <i>wonderful</i>.

Book Love is super cute. I was feeling a little stressed, but then I downloaded the ARC of this book and was smiling and relaxed in no time as I flicked through the pages. Any bookworm will find something to relate to in this work. The cartoons are so cute and absolutely spot on. I definitely recognised myself in many of the scenarios. This is definitely a gift any book lover will appreciate.
