I have been watching Catana's journey with John for a while on Instagram and was thrilled with the book. I had to read it as soon as I saw the review copy available here. Warm & fuzzy as Huff Post puts it, the panels are relatable and makes you go awwww at every turn. Snug by Catana Chetwynd is like a hug from your childhood teddy bear when you are feeling low.

"Snug" was just as adorable and feel good as Catana's previous book "Little Moments of Love." Her simple drawings partner perfectly with the comics; they accentuate the stories without tons of extra backgrounds or unneeded props. I was worried that the comics wouldn't be too original or that they would be too similar to the previous book but each comic was original. I can't wait to see her next collection whenever that may be.

Thanks so much to the author, NetGalley, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts. All of my full reviews can be found on my blog at tacklingtbr.home.blog and on Instagram @Tackling_TBR

What is there even to say about Catana Comics? These sweet comics have been in my life and bringing me immense joy since I first saw them around two years ago, or so. And they are not only adorable, but so relatable. Sometimes I feel almost attacked with how much my fiance and I relate them to our own relationship. Socially awkward? Wants all of the pizza? Nothing but cuddles and no pants? Attacks their partner with all of the kisses and weird reactions? I feel you, girl. Especially during the year and a half that my fiance and I were long distance - we sent these back and forth to each other daily, and they always made us feel closer together, and definitely helped us get through that time. So I knew going in that I was going to love this.

This is a very quick read, as each comic is only a few panels on a page, so I just read through them all in about 25 minutes. I would highly, highly recommend this to absolutely anyone. It is funny, and sickly sweet, and I guarantee that every single person will find at least one (likely way more) that will make them smile!

This was insanely adorable. I loved the illustrations. I was already familiar with these two from comics is seen in social media. A whole book centered around their relationship was cute. I felt like I saw myself in so many of the comics. This is what relationship goals should really look like.

Catana and John’s relationship is one that will have you fawning over each page -- sighing awwws aloud and making mental notes of #relationshipgoals. Each page is different glimpse into their cute and romantic relationship.
Each page of small and simple moments captured in comic form is adorable, and I enjoyed reading them as they made me smile and laugh and long for some of those elements in my own life. However, once I finished, I was a little disappointed that there was no story, no character development. This is simply a record of cute moments in a relationship.

I've been following Catana on Instagram for a long time. I love her comics. They're so funny, heart-warming, and relevant. Several of these made me laugh out loud and even though I've read the ARC, courtesy of NetGalley, I want a physical copy to flip through. I just wish it were longer. I love her comics!

I read this in one sitting, so much fun. I loved the first the book so I knew I needed to read this. This graphic novel shows the little things that matter in a relationship and does it in a very cute art style. This made me smile and laugh through out the whole entire book. Definitely going to buy this for my collection.

This was really cute, and I found myself nodding and smiling along with almost all of the comics. Definitely gave me the warm and fuzzies and made me feel *snug*. I just wish it was in Kindle format because the formatting didn't fit well or easily on Adobe Digital Editions.

*Received an ARC of this from Netgalley*
This book was honestly the breath of fresh air I needed. It was super cute and I wanted to take a picture and send almost every page to my S.O.
My job has taken me half way around the world from him and this book made me think of him and it gave me all the warm fuzzies. I also, literally, laughed out loud at parts.
Highly recommend!!!

These comics are always so adorable! I hadn't read the first collection of comics but I loved this one! So many of this were super adorable and relatable! If you haven't seen her comics before she is definitely worth checking out and following on social media!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review! :)

Similar warm fuzzies to the original Catana collection. This one seemed to have fewer comics that were personally relatable to me, but maybe that was just my mood, or the ARC format being distracting. There were definitely still a few I really loved, and I recommend for any fans of Catana, or really, anyone dating or married to their best friend.

Content 'warning' is pretty much the same as the original too: there's really no actually content, but with minor cartoonish nudity, a brief reference to blood/murder, and most of the humor being in the context of adult relationships, this would likely not be appreciated by younger readers.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute, loved the little vignettes about the author's relationship and how relatable so many of those moments are when you're in a long term relationship.

This was sooo super cute!! I've always loved Catana's comics so this was really fun to read all at once!!

I love Catana comics! Little Moments of Love is still my favorite, but this new collection had many great scenes in it as well! This comic will appeal to YA to adults who can relate to the silly antics of a relationship. Adorable! If you follow Catana comics on Instagram, you will enjoy this collection!

No rating for this one.

No matter what I do, I cannot open this book in any eReader I have at my disposal. Tried multiple times but ended up in frustration which is such a shame as I was looking forward to reading this. I sometimes have this problem, not all the time, mind you since I download and review many graphical books from NetGalley. This might be something for publishers to figure out.

I’ve been a fan of Catana Comics for quite some time now and I’m so happy to get a chance to read this!
This collection was so heartwarming and wholesome that it left me feeling warm and gushy inside.
Would recommend if you’re needing a cute little pick-me-up!

Snug is yet another collection of the adorable comics created by the one and only Catana Chetwynd. If you haven't seen any of her work before, go ahead and google Catana Comics. Trust me, it's worth it!
Catana Chetwynd's comics have always had this sweet and endearing feeling to the comics. And that's one of the reasons that her comics have become so popular. They're cute and personal, covering the sweet and content moments.
And okay, it also shows off how silly two people can be, when they've found their person. We all get a little bit silly around our partners, thanks to not feeling the need to maintain a filter. And Catana Comics has always shown that off quite nicely.
Snug is a collection of some of these moments. They're playful, silly, and sweet. Sometimes the comics alternate between those emotions and moments. And other times they're a blend of all three. No matter what, they're a blast to read.
And fans are Catana Chetwynd will want to check this collection out, as not only does it put some of our favorites into print – it also has a bunch of new comics as well. In fact, there are fifty new comics that never made it online. And that alone makes this one worth checking out! It helps that the comics are everything I was hoping for, being a perfect fit for her series as a whole.
As always, I loved each and every one of these comics. All of them were fun or quirky. And more than one of them made me laugh and confess that I have in fact done exactly that, while in a relationship. And that's pretty cute, if I may say so. I imagine most readers feel that way.
This was another great collection from Catana Comics. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work in the future!

On occasion, I'll see little comics from this illustrator on social media. I never think much about it other than the humor and how relatable each one can be. I didn't even realize that there could have been a collection until I came across Snug. Each page had brought something different that everyone can relate to. I have enjoyed every comic that was presented in this collection and I can easily imagine everyone else will as well.

Cute, funny, sweet, endearing. "Snug" is all those things, and certainly feels like an antidote for the turmoil and cynicism of today. However, I think it's best served in small doses. I think reading a comic a day (rather than the whole book in one sitting for a review) is the way to go.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an AC in exchange for an honest review.

Welcome Back!

I am super excited to be writing this post! It's a little outside of my usual but I am here to talk about Snug a book of Catana Comics collected. This is the second book of it's kind and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review. Something I have not really shared on my blog is that I love Catana Comics, these cute little comics are something my spouse and I have shared with one another for years now. A lot of them apply to us ( so they are super relatable) but also they are super cute and fun to share with each other. So when I got this ARC on Netgalley I was incredibly pumped and I knew exactly how I wanted to read it. Reading this book was a little different than I have ever done with any other book, I snuggled up on the couch with our kittens (though they did not stay very long, they had kitten things to do apparently), and my spouse. We looked through this together and it was a super sweet fun time!

The comics are super cute and lovey as always and were done in the usual Catana Comics style. There were a lot of comics in this particular book that we found funny or my spouse or I would point to and say yupp, or yeah you do that too. If you have not checked out a Catana Comic yet you can definitely do that online on their Facebook or other social media outlets but also you should check out their books! I am definitely going to be purchasing this second book to just have around to share again with my spouse at some point in the future. On Goodreads, I am rating this five stars.
