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.

The Book of Purrs:Everyday Thoughts From Your Feline Friends
by: Luis Coelho
2024
Andrews Meel
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.

It's cute, sweet and funny - rather purrrrfect :)
I really like the colours of the illustrations. Some of the sentences I totally agree on are for example "Being awake doesn't mean being ready to move" or "I'm innocent and smol, until demon takes control".

One part sweet, one part sassy, and a whole lot of love and introspection.

Cute illustrations with message of inspiration and comedy. Purrfect for the cat lovers in your life!

Do you know what you need to do when your thoughts become too serious?

"Just blep at the world and move on with your life."

The Book of Purrs by Luis Coelho is a sweet and heartwarming collection of comics with positive and encouraging affirmations from your feline friends.

This book is short and simple and it has cute illustrations. And it talks to you the way you talk to your cats. Very cute.

It's a wonderful book for children. You can give it to your child or read it out to him/her. They will be happy. And you will be too. It's not just a children's book. It is a book for readers of all ages if they are in need of a light heartwarming sweet cute comic where the encouragement comes from a feline.

I am thankful to #netgalley for sending me an advance review copy. This means a lot.

The Book of Purrs is an adorable collection of cat cartoons from Luis Coelho (@purr.in.ink). This was such a happy addition to my day! I have loved the cartoons for a long time & it was great to be able to read this collection.

I loved that there was so much heart behind them. So many included positives messages for mental health as well as silly cat jokes. I will definitely re-visit this one when I need to smile!

This book is charming. Little, inspirational, 4 panel quotes with soothing background colors and gentle catitude.

There were occasional touchs of mild profanity that disrupted the vibe a bit for me, but overall, just a peaceful little book of comics.

What a fun little book! Each page is simple in its illustration and statement but each packs a thoughtful or humorous punch. This would make a fun coffee table book.

I received a free ebook from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Ohhhh I love kitties. And comics. And comics about kitties. Especially black kitties that remind me of my own black kitty Bean.

These comics are simple, cute, and sweet. Lots of cat humour as well as serious thought. A nice mix of both. Adorable and enjoyable!

Wow! This is a book will give you the warm fuzzies from the endorphin rush of adorable-ness! I thoroughly enjoy these on social media and send them to my friends, but a book must now be purchased for everyone I know! You will not regret looking at these because you will soon discover you have read it cover to cover!

I was going into this expecting a comic, instead I got something better...a compilation of positive affirmations for your every day life with cats! This will bring you joy every day, the art is beautiful, there's something for everyone. It would make a wonderful gift to any cat lover, be it birthdays, holidays, house warming gift or just a pick me up present this is truly the perfect option.
It's short, sweet and gorgeous, could not have loved it more.

I love this little kitty so much. Sometimes it hits to close home but it's worth hearing some of the quotes.

OMG, this was just so damn cute! I will be getting a physical copy once the books comes out. Great book to have in the living room or coffee table and to randomly open to make you smile

This was supposed to be cute, but I found it more creepy and unsettling. The cats were okay for the first few pages, but then it got repetitive.

As a cat lover and cat mom, and often seeing Luiz Coelho work on social medias, I knew this book was for me. This book full of really cute drawings is like a candy, it's comforting. With these philosophical and poetical texts about mental health or a cat's life, that are totally reliable, you will smile and it will make you feel a little better.

The only negative thing I have to say, aside from the book being too short, is that I would have loved for the comics to be a little bit more diversified; a few panels are pretty much alike, and it's too bad not to have developed the cat's habits part more.
