I missed reading the second collection and I’ll have to go back to fix that but the comics in here are as good as the first book. These are one-page comics that are from her online strip. Lots of cats, dogs, and self-depreciation humor about her introversion and anxiety. But I think the best part was the advice to artists at the end of the book. It works for any creative type that is sharing their work to the public. Overall a fun book to read and I’ll make sure not to miss the next one when it comes out.

I was scrolling through Netgalley and this book was available for free, so I immediately jumped on the opportunity to review this. I've seen her comics around the internet and they are always so relatable. This book also included many situations I can identify with.

She truly knows how to portray being introvert and anxious. The comic about the neuro-oncologist who is asked 'how does it feel to be a woman in your field?' made me snort too.

There is a short help guide for artists at the end. While I'm not an artist, I liked the tips she gave and the tiny comics she used to show her point.

Definitely worth a read!

I love this artist! I had no idea this was even coming out. Not until March 27, 2018, though.

These go quick, but she is so funny and she really captures what it's like to struggle with anxiety and depression.

It might seem all sunshine and roses to the outside world, but sometimes you are just stuck with your face on your cat, unable to move.

Keep it up, Sarah! I've loved every one. And oddly enough, my 9 year old zips through them, too and laughs.

another hilarious collection. i especially liked the section where she gave advice to young artists.

Every thought I've ever had as an artist, an introvert, a cat lover, a HUMAN... has been illustrated by Sarah Andersen in this book. Love it so much. I laughed and cried the whole way through.

I absolutely LOVE IT!!

Sarah Andersen never fails! It's hilarious and full of positive energy and actually made me laugh out loud many times (it has been a while since a book made me do that). I was afraid that it won't be as good as her first two books, but I might actually like this one even more.

It simply made my day :)

I highly recommend reading this from Netgalley <3

Really funny and relatable, as usual Sarah Andersen never disappoints.
Everyday life, with humor and lovely drawings that give another life to the writing.

This was, yet again, an amazing collection of scribbles.
I am not entirely convinced that this book was NOT about me...?

One thing that I really appreciated was the section, or chapter, Sarah added about Making Stuff in the Modern Era. It was so beautiful and encouraging. I really love that since gaining all of this attention, she has used her platform for good.

In Big Mushy Happy Lump she really promoted conversations about mental illness, while in Herding Cats she starts meaningful conversations about the importance of creativity and not allowing the dumpster fire that the internet can be to impede your creativity. While she uses the example of a visual artist - her advice and wisdom can be doled out to anyone whose worked could be viewed with a creative lens (writers, musicians, poets, etc.)

Herding Cats was beautifully done and quite hilarious; I highly recommend it to old fans and new!

My final rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

**Shout out to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars!
I came across this comic by accident and decided to give it a try. It's been like ages since I read a comic but I think that Sarah's Scribbles are going to get me back to this genre.
Herding Cats deals with so many obstacles that face people throughout their life in a funny comical way.
The advices around the end of the book were so inspiring and great.

I thought the "Making Stuff in the Modern Era: A Guide for the Young Creative" was a great addition to this book and made it my favorite in the series.

I love these books! So relatable and funny! I really enjoyed the last section about art in the modern age as well as how the internet can bring out the worst in people.

Herding Cats is the third book in the Sarah’s Scribbles series. Having read both her previous works, Herding Cats seemed a tad underwhelming. I can’t quite point out to what went wrong where, but I feel like I’ve read the whole introverted, socially anxious angle before and that Sarah isn’t bringing anything new to the table (yes, she did try to make a few political statements, but they didn’t quite pack a punch).

The rest of the review is on my blog: https://rainandabook.wordpress.com/2018/01/04/herding-cats-sarahs-scribbles-3-by-sarah-andersen/

I so enjoy these books - this is installment 3 in the Sarah Scribbles and it's just as enjoyable.
All of her comics, delivered with humor and satire, are extremely relatable and relevant to current events.
Reading these is always nice as, at least for me, you can read and say 'Oh Hey~ I'm not the only one. haha" :)

I'm not the only one that procrastinates, that gets anxiety, that bumbles through life, and so much more.

It's a comfort and entertaining. The best combo. <3

Wonderfully funny with heart. I love the included encouragement for aspiring artists.

I've read Sarah Andersen's first book and was familiar with her work online, so I was definitely excited to give this one a try. As expected, it was very funny and it made me laugh out loud a few times. Her comics are extremely relatable, I think all of us have experienced at least some of the situations described by her. It's nice to know that there's someone going through the same daily life struggles as us, and because this is a short, feel-good book, it's perfect to read when you're in the middle of a reading slump or simply not having the best of days.

Like I said, I thoroughly enjoyed her comics, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a lot of new content, because I had already stumbled across most of them at one point or another while scrolling through social media. I'd love to see more of her work.

The last part of the book was very uplifting and encouraging, and it hit all the right notes regarding how people interact online nowadays. It's very easy to be mean, while standing behind a computer screen and, like the author, I also believe that we've become desensitized to all the hate that's going around the internet. It was a good note to end the book on.

Overall, I thought it was a good book, and I'd definitely recommend it!

As usual I liked the comics and I also appreciated the words of the author in the end of the books, but I think I spot some repetitions, even from the last books, but it is still a super enjoyable reading.

Come al solito i fumetti mi sono piaciuti, e anche le parole dell'autrice alla fine del libro, solo che ogni tanto mi sembra che sia un pochino ripetitiva, considerando anche i due libri precedenti; resta comunque una lettura estremamente godibile.

I was really excited about this book and found some of the cartoons funny and relatable. Of course cats are funny. I felt to down though. Maybe they were suppose to be light, but I just felt a sense of doom when reading most of them, then one would bring me back a bit ... Then back down.

The comics seemed depressing overall and repetitive on the down side (I felt like I was being beat over the head with the same theme presented in almost the same way). Variety in presentation would help. It almost seemed like looking at different drafts of the same idea. Some of the ideas were good, and I appreciate the encouraging "don't give up" message at end, but the negativity caught me off guard then wouldn't let go.

One of my last reads for 2017, it was such a welcome break. While this isn't my favorite among the three, it sure is quite good. Illustrations about the artists' life, inspirational drawings and some about life make up the book! I love the part of the book where she delves into various aspects of the artist's life and what it takes to do something different. These small notes of inspiration are accompanied by illustrations that make it fun and not boring in anyway.
Overall, a fun book to lift your spirits!

I love Sarah’s Scribbles! Herding Cats is another fine volume by Sarah Anderson. She really shines the spotlight on what every day is like being an introvert and having anxiety. Sometimes getting through even the simple things seems as tough as, well, herding cats. Excellent!
