will be for sure buying a physical copy

thank you NetGalley for sending me an eArc

well I love cats so this book was the cutest thing ever

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A wonderful book about the kitties in out lives and how they see us. There were several laugh out loud pages that I really enjoyed.

I am a crazy cat lady though can you be that with only 2 cats? My children are cat lovers as well. We read this together and all loved it. It was funny but inspirational. We love the illustrations with having a black(technically tuxedo) cat ourselves. This was so cute to read. Recommended for anyone even if you don't like cats.

Thank you to NetGalley, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Luis Coelho for the ARC of this book. This review is my own opinion.

What a delightful little book. I already knew the author’s art and was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s been turned into a collection. The rhymes made some of the messages feel forced and corny, but it’s a lovely experience just the same.

Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The illustration collection “The Book of Purrs- Everyday Thoughts from Your Feline Friends” by Luis Coelho is an uplifting compilation of comics starring a black cat.

When I came across this book I didn't know the Portuguese illustrator known on instagram as @purr.in.ink but now I'm a fan!

This was a quick read that left me with a positive feeling. The comics mostly are one picture with a quote and they made me smile,nostalgic and also a little sad. I was surprised that the illustrator managed to invoke so many different feelings with these simple illustrations. They are never repetitive and some of them resonated strongly with me.

I believe everyone can gain some insight and fun from this book so this truly is a perfect gift for a cat lover!

A big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was a very cute book. I liked the pictures of the cats and how they were used to bring me joy and laughter. I gave the book 4/5 stars because I felt like the jokes about bites were redundant by the end. I would have loved to see more jokes about other cat stereotypes such as they show love by putting their butt in your face or by bringing you "gifts". All in all, great concept and I hope you publish more. Thank you for the arc, I look forward to purchasing this book for my husband when it comes out.

This lighthearted comic was exactly what I needed for a pick me up. I've seen Luis' art throughout my time on the internet, but never really looked at it for more than a good chuckle. I was glad to have picked this advanced reader copy up.

I already knew it would be a cute read, but what I didn't know is I would find myself appreciating every single page on it's own. The artstyle is simple but very well done. Luis has a skill and talent for watercolor art.

He gained a lifetime follower with this one.

Super cute! Definitely will be a good gift recommendation for the holiday season for any cat and animal lover!

The perfect book (and illustrations!) for anyone who loves cats!

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

I FINISHED IT TOO FAST! NOOO!!! I'm heartbroken. It was too short. That's the only flaw I found. I really needed this, as someone with a love for cats (especially black cats! my babies!) and as someone that's going through a lot right now. The artstyle was simple yet so cute. The texts were also simple but so cute. This is a great, short book if you need a little cheering up or if you just want to see cute black cats. It may not solve any of your problems, but at least you'll remember how cute cats are. I recommend it to everyone.

A purrfectly delightful collection of Luís Coelho's kitties that we've come to love via social media. With a little bit of all things cat, from silly bathroom guard cats to some feline wisdom for grief, this book is sure to make you smile with its adorable illustrations.

Thank you to the publisher and author for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I read a digital copy on a tablet.

I’ve never seen this cute character cat before, but it must be very popular. I smiled throughout this graphic comic collection. It’s hard not to when it’s cats! I particularly liked when the cat has really big eyes — something about it makes me chuckle!

I will say, if you’re looking for clean humor, there are some curse words and other things that may make this not for you or kids, depending on your sensibilities.

Most of this content seems to be centered on mental health and motivation. It’s cute. Would make a good gift for someone. Cute collection, not groundbreaking but nevertheless

Thank you so much for letting me read this book. This such a little gem of a book. And it is amazing how many feelings can be conveyed through a cats eyes.

The art here is wonderful. I absolutely love the art style and the adorable little cats! Which is why I hate to complain about anything done by artists. It's just that I personally didn't enjoy it as a book. I think some of the individual comics were lovely and the art as a whole was beautiful but a lot of pages were just drawings of cats with affirmations and motivational quotes.
If that's something you find to your liking then that's great but I was a bit bored?
Yeah, I hate to give this critique but maybe it's just not my cup of tea and others might enjoy it more.

If a book has kittens and inspiring messages, as well as fun moments and more kittens... I'll be there.

The Books of the Purrs is a short comic, which does not have a reading line. You can open it wherever you want, read what you want and continue at another time. It has beautiful, simple, commanding messages.
The illustrations are cute, a little repetitive but at the end of the day, they fulfill their function.

I don't know what kittens Luis Coelho may have come across, but none of the cats I've had wanted to bite me. He took it as something quite common and has MANY scenes like that. Weird 😆

Thank you Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC I read on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

These illustrations are so cute! I’ve seen some before on social media but havin them all together in a collection like that is so much better. It’s a perfect gift for catlovers or for someone who needs a cheer-up! The texts are motivational and have a wonderful message.

As a mother of 2 cats, I approve.

This book was an absolute joy to read.

The artwork was beautifully done, and I loved the rhyming throughout the book.

This is a wonderful gift for cat and comic lovers full of funny, sweet, and relatable lines.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC of The Book of Purrs

"What if you talked to yourself the way you talk to cats"
This is an absolutely adorable book! Ok I am a tab bit bias as I have an adorable black cat, but I loved everything about it, wonderful little reminders to hush our inner critic

This is a really cute book full of mini cat comics. Perfect for someone looking for something light and humorous to read, with a dash of kitty darkness added in.
