I think I picked the wrong couple of days to read this book because now I miss my babies so much??
It’s a series of the cutest kitty comics, some motivational, some aggressive (in a cute way).

I have enjoyed this author's Instagram and his comics for a while and was excited to get a chance to read this book. I find the artist's style to be quite enjoyable and the short comics are fun and engaging and thought-provoking. I only wish that the book were a little longer. I have at least one friend that I intend to recommend this book to when it is published.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

What an adorable book! If you love cats, you’ll love the little details and the heartwarming quotes on every page. Of course there’re the devilish cat thoughts!

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC!

This is everything I could want in a book and more. I adore these cat illustrations with pages of funny, interesting, and relatable words! Easy 5 stars and recommendation to my audience.

I read this with my cat on my lap, queue the librarian stereotypes, and yes I was wearing a sweater. It was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. It was cute and funny, and even thought provoking. This would make a great gift for the cat lover in your life and I've already thought of a few.

I wanted to read this in appreciation of our own black kitty who reminds me daily to take time for myself and found The Book of Purrs to be chock full of terrific and adorable kitty illustrations and really positive, often meditative, messages.

This is an enjoyable book to purrrruse to get your daily fill of floofy yet regal black kitties and necessary messages to be kinder to ourselves.

Overall wonderful for (middle school grade and up) kids and adults alike, the majority of the messages that go along with the cats are extremely positive and great affirmations. ** Some of the messages are more profane than mindful so parents will want to look through this before offering to younger readers.



Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the PDF

This is the type of graphic novel that doesn’t have a story, each panel is his own thing. I think this would be fun on a rainy day, a bit like taking a tarot card? Instead pick a page of this book and pull that smile to the surface. Or the book to keep in your night table and enjoy a page before bed?

If you read it as a whole, which I did, for this review; even tho the panels are not connected, you can’t deny that it’s still cute and makes you smile and just go all “awwww”. But I think it’s better enjoyed one page at a time. They are encouraging and funny and if you are a cat person like me, it’s bound to make your heart warm.

The way it’s drawn it’s adorable, I think it went perfectly with a black cat at the centre. They are such simple illustrations, but they are jut the perfect amount of details and cuteness in them.

Oh wow, this was adorable. And honestly had me tearing up a little with the last few.

Would be great for anyone who's already a fan of the artist, someone who loves cats, or someone who just needs a little bit of love.

The forward says this is ideal in random order at random times and that’s the right call. I could see this as something to gift a high school graduate or to someone with an office, people who can turn to it randomly and have a laugh or a pause or something.

The art is really cute and the colors are nice. The fonts were pretty easy to read, too.

Side note, this made me really glad my cats aren’t biters.

I have seen many of the artists’ comics on Facebook memes and loved them so I was very happy to get his book from NetGalley. As a certified cat lady I love these adorable illustrations! If you’re a cat lover looking for a laugh or a moment of joy be sure to grab this little collection. I could easily see myself wearing any one of these on a t shirt, or drinking from a coffee mug, on a monthly calendar, etc. Loved it!

This is such a cute book! A blend of funny and encouraging panels, all with absolutely adorable cat illustrations. Note: there are a few swear words in this book, so be aware of that before deciding if it's one you want to share with your child or not.

What a cute book filled with purrretry and catcomics. The comics are a combination of funny, lighthearted quotes and deep and meaningful quotes which I enjoyed a lot! Some made me rethink my life choices and others just made me laugh. The cats are so so so cute to look at and getting through this little book was truly a treat. When it comes out i definitely want a copy of this on my shelf :)

Absolutely adorable! This was the purrfect little read after a long day. It's fun, full of love and affirmation, as told you by cats in the tone most of us use to talk to our own cats. This is one of those books I'd call a "coffee table book". Something you lay out for friends to flip through when they visit.

The artwork is also adorable with different kinds of cats and their big sad eyes in places. Showing their effection through bitting like my own cat does when he doesn't want me to go to work!

Purrfect book for any cat lover!

This is a winner. Cats, positive affirmations, and lots of pspspsps!

After reading this, I want almost every beautiful illustration as a print, and I also feel that I will be buying a hard copy of this, just to have on hand to look at whenever I feel the need for a pick-me-up.

5.0

Paw-sitively guaranteed to produce smiles, this googely-eyed black kitten will give you warm feelings and, maybe a few tears. Filled with good feeling and positive affirmations, this is a book of encouragement and a reminder of the importance of self-love.
Open the book to any page, and there will be a fluffy adorable black kitty, with big goggly eyes, and words to inspire a feeling of love and acceptance.
A book for everyone---I absolutely am in love with this one.
Highly recommended for adults and kids.
Thanks to Net Galley for sending this e-book ARC for review.
