⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liked it, fun while I was reading it
Adorable affirmations involving black kitties, I'm all in. This is less of a book to sit and read through and more of something you have on your bedside table for a little daily dose of cuteness and encouragement.
I loved the illustration style and have seen some of this artwork on socials.
Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing, NetGalley, and author Luis Coelho for providing me with a digital ARC copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review. The Book of Purrs is out October 22, 2023.
I've been following Luís on social media for quite a while now, and he has never disappointed. His comics are so cute and adorable, and they run the gamut of being funny to insightful to downright inspirational and heartwarming. There really is something for everyone on any given day, no matter how you're feeling, and all the different cats are so wonderfully drawn that it feels like they could just leap off the page and into your home. I'd already preordered a hardcover copy of this as soon as it was announced, then was lucky enough to get a NetGalley copy as well, so now I'll have both a physical and digital copy to have no matter where I am!
I cannot recommend this book enough, and if you have the chance to follow Luís on social media and/or support his Patreon, I highly encourage you to do so. Seeing his new comics are often the highlight of my day! =)

CAT LOVERS ASSEMBLE!!!!!
This genuinely the CUTEST and the most ADORABLE, PRECIOUS little book I have ever read. Cannot wait to buy the hardcopy. Honestly anything cat is honestly the cutest but add to it the different cartoon eyes, expressions and the sassy quotes. PURRFECTION!! Truly!
My favourite quote from the book has to be - "I shit rainbows 🌈 and do what I want" - like how can you not LOVE that?
If I want a selfhelp book to tell me how to feel better and don't talk down to myself, it better be this adorable cat. You never know if the next page is trying to teach you to be more compassionate with yourself or giving a thorough explanation of why biting hooman is a love language. Brought me all the joy.
Super cute and fun! I follow him on social media, so it's nice to be able to support an artist I really enjoy!
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this ARC! I loved it from start to finish.
It's a short collection of mini comics and illustrations that range from comedy to inspirational quotes. It was pretty adorable. Sometimes sweet and touching, other times funny and weird. Just like cats.
Filled with affirmations and silly jokes, this book was a cute and easy read. I loved the illustrations and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick read!
Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC!
This is a really cute book and can be an ideal gift to a cat lover or anyone who loves animals. Some of the illustrations should be printed as posters!
I would totally buy it!
Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this!
I’ve been following this account on Instagram for a while now, so when I saw this book, I knew I needed to read it!
If there’s one thing that can be said, it is that cats make me unbelievably happy. And this book combined cats with cute little comics. Some comics were silly cats just being cats, some were cats giving hoomans inspiration and motivation, some were just a few reminders about why we love cats so much.
I absolutely love the art style of the comics! I have always been so drawn to it and the book was just beautiful. I also love that black cats got some representation. I know there’s a stigma around black cats, but they’re just silly, cuddly, little floofs!
Thank you NetGalley for this E-arc
Just wonderfully wholesome and delightful. Like speaking with a lovely encouraging friend who just so happens to be incredibly fluffy and a little bitey.
A lovely little collection of inspirational and funny one-liners with the cutest illustrations of cats! I found the one-liners to be somewhat simplistic, but also very enjoyable to read. The illustrations are the best part of this collection, just adorable.
Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review!
I loved loved loved this collection of comics!!! The author is one of my new favourites to follow on instagram and I enjoyed every minute of this book.
As a cat lover the illustrations, humour and quick wit were right up my alley and had me laughing, smiling and devouring the book! Highly recommend!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 Stars.
This was a cute feel good kind of read. It made me smile a lot and I liked the artwork.
Thank you, Netgalley, for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
As soon as I saw this, I knew I wanted to read it. I'm a cat lover and owner of a black cat myself. I didn't even know there was an Instagram page (that I am checking out right after this) and I had a blast flipping through the pages. I laughed with most of them and recognized my Salem throughout. This was so funny, so heart warming and cute. A total recommendation to every cat lover out there.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for my honest review.
Purrfection! I’ve seen a few of these online but for some reason they worked better for me as a collection. Absolutely loved this from start to finish.
I just could not stop reading until I finished it! I read this with my cat Lucky and my kitten Hope and I often looked at them, while chuckling from the naughty comics or emotional because of the adorable ones. This is a book that every cat lover will adore!
If you like this illustrator, this is the book for you.
If you like cats, this is the book for you.
Could be also a wonderful gift for cat lovers in your life.
I'll surely buy it just to spark joy in my day to day life.
This was delightful! It's not the kind of book you read through from cover to cover in one sitting (although you absolutely can) but the kind of book you open to a random page, read one or two pages, and walk away happier.
I love the (sometimes a little aggressive) cat love shown in these comics, and absolutely loved the sentiments of love, self care, and aggressive affection shown.
I definitely want to pick up a physical copy for myself, as the drawings were perfect!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was super cute. I loved the illustrations and the messages throughout were funny yet heartfelt.
The art style is adorable and beautiful. I love that the pages look textured
I follow this artist on Instagram, so I was so excited to read this now! I love cats, so these comics always make me smile. This book is the purrfect collection of uplifting, heartwarming, and laugh-inducing art for any cat lover--or anyone who just needs a smile. I laughed out loud for most of this book, and when I wasn't laughing, I was introspectively reading the more daily-affirmation-type messages. I will definitely buy a physical copy of this to keep around and open when I need a pick-me-up!
Such a nice book with witty and generally cute content! It's a good read to have in a dull day and when you're looking for cats and cutesy content.
