4,5 stars actually (^.^)
It's my 3rd review of Sarah Andersen's books. I didn't expect her to publish a new book and when I coincidentally see her new book on netgalley I got so excited. I finished it within an hour or so.
I adore how she hilariously illustrates such small things in her comics. Once again, I loved it ! :)

Cute and relatable as always, Sarah's Scribbles see into my soul. Includes a nice little section at the end encouraging young artists to pursue their dreams. A nice way to use her large platform.

Love Sarah! I may be a bit biased, but reading “Sarah’s Scribbles” puts me in a good mood. I own her first two books and open them up when I’m feeling a little down. Thanks for the review copy NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing!

As always, Sarah Anderson does not disappoint with her collections. Herding Cats is the newest complication of Sarah's Scribbles a phenomena that has taken over women everywhere. Sarah always manages to hit the nail on the head especially when describing those who are introverts or basically just like animals more than people.
Funny, witty, and own right truthful, Herding Cats is like looking into my own mind. This book is s little light n the cat jokes in my opinion but never the less is funny and brilliant.

The third book by Sarah Andersen, collecting all her newest works + more! I was delighted when I spotted this book over on Netgalley. The covers and titles are getting better (and sillier) with each and every book. I can't wait to see what the next title/cover will be.:P
Like with each book so far I haven't found a comic I haven't read, well, maybe one or two, as I sometimes don't see her new comic on my timeline on Twitter. But do I mind? Nah, I don't. I just adore that I can re-read them without having to go through her Twitter.
This time not so much menstrual cycles and more anxiety and sadness. They all hit quite close home for me. :( One that also stood out was the stove comic. When I saw it on her Twitter, I had the same reaction. I was both sad and happy. Sad, because it sucks that there are more people who have this problem and it is not a fun one. Happy, because I know now that there are more people like me. That I am not alone with this behaviour.
After the normal comics we get an extra part. She tells us with text and comics about art, about drawing, about criticism on the internet, anxiety over drawing/posting something, and more. I definitely love that this was added. I am not adding art to the internet, but some of the parts (internet and harassment/criticism) hit quite close to me.
All in all, definitely recommended. Be warned this may hit close home. You may experience a ton of feelings and nod along with the comics. Of course you will also laugh as there are enough moments were the comics are more comedy (like the ones with her cat).
---Review to be posted on my blog (and all other places) 2 weeks before the book comes out.----

I don't typically laugh out loud when reading, but this collection had me LOLing several times. I've seen some of Sarah Andersen's comics around the internet before, but hadn't read any of her books until this collection. As always, her take on anxiety and being an introvert really resonated with me.
Because this was my first time reading one of Sarah's books, I wasn't expecting the section at the end where she talks about being a creator in today's internet age. At first I found this confusing, but as I read it I came to appreciate what she has to say.
As a whole, this collection left me feeling encouraged and uplifted. I'll definitely be recommending this and other Sarah's Scribbles volumes to friends and library patrons!

Herding Cats is an incredibly fast read! I read it twice in the space of time it took to drink a cup of tea. While every illustration didn't make me laugh, enough did that I would definitely consider this book significantly more hit than miss.
I particularly liked Sarah Andersen's advice to up-and-coming artists. It was both inspiring and ground in reality.
Herding Cats is definitely worth a read, or two.

Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
I have always heard about Sarah's Scribbles but had never managed to get my hands on one until now. At first, I wasn't sure what to think. The art was simple (which isn't a bad thing at all) and the little comics were a hit and miss for me. But, I slowly started to relate to them more and more and found them rather endearing.
This really let me know that I wasn't alone in some of the things that I feel. There was one comic that I didn't even realize I felt until I saw it and I was like "YES! That is me."
It was a quick read, that I could relate too and I know that many others will be able to relate to it as well and it could help encourage them and let them know that they aren't alone in how they are feeling.

The Sarah Andersen we know and love! She's back with more endearing, relatable and hilarious moments that resonate with everyone "just doing their best".
Some people have said it's too similar to her two other books (covering the same topics of social awkwardness, anxiety, periods..etc), but that didn't bother me the slightest. It's still funny and I'm always excited to read her content.

It takes real talent to pull off a comic strip that is only 1 to 7 panels, and have it be consistently funny. There is truly humor accessible to everyone in this book, and many could be clipped from the "newspaper" and taped to an office door. I have only been occasionally exposed to Sarah Andersen through the book I purchased for my spouse and Facebook shares from my spouse. Now I have to go back and read the previous two books as soon as possible.

I'm following Sarah Andersen's drawings via Facebook and usually I find myself giggling while reading them, because a lot of it represents me I guess. I saw this ARC in Netgalley and downloaded quickly so I can read it. I really have fun reading, and I want to share some of my favorites.

As the third book in the "Sarah's Scribbles Book Series", HERDING CATS is as entertaining as the previous two have been, though they are definitely all stand alone books. Sarah Anderson manages to capture the world of the introverted and anxiety ridden perfectly in her comics, which is part of what I love about her work.
What I liked most about this book, though, was that at the end, Anderson offers advice to others who are trying to start in her field. Much of the feedback is reminding yourself not to have too much doubt in yourself, and I liked that.

This one was just as good as the other two. These explain a lot of what adults go through and feel on any given day. Keep them coming I could read these books all day long.

This is the second Sarah's Scribbles book that I have read and loved. Her drawings are incredibly relatable for anyone who is an introvert, has anxiety, and loves cats and dogs. They, differently from many books, make me laugh out loud. This one, unlike her other books, has a self-help guide for artists, also accompanied by some her illustrations. If you haven't checked out her drawings and or books, I really recommend, they're so great!

I LOVE the Sarah's Scribbles books. This one is super fun, and super relatable (as always) but to me, it fell a little flatter than the others. The "scribbles" are great as always, but the humor was a little more disjointed in this one; while still hilarious, it wasn't as funny. Not the best of her books, but entertaining as always! I still really enjoyed it, but I'd recommend the other more.

I adore Sarah and her work. I love that she is very honest about anxiety and depression and so many other things. Most of all, I love that she chooses to express the humor in it. In many ways she reminds me of myself but I think we're both too introverted to reach out and try anyway. It's a nice thought. Back to the book, this is not exactly what I've seen from her before. I love her series, Sarah's Scribbles and follow it. The first half of this is what we've all come to expect and love. The last little bit is even better. Sarah has become a motivational writer (we all know motivational speaking would never be her goal). I'll let you read it since she says it best but that part of the book made me love and respect her even more. There is a bit of swearing but not too much or too serious (I notate this for my readers who follow me for such info). Basically if you need some comedy and motivation, get this book.
I would like to thank the publisher, author, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Reading comics by Sarah Andersen always make me feel better. She manage to take everyday thoughts and make them accessible. The drawings make me realize that my feelings and thoughts are more normal than I originally thought. I feel better because I feel less alone.
The drawings are "simple", but it is why I love this comic so much. The windows are very relatable, and I love that!

I’m super stoked to review Herding Cats. If you’re on the internet chances are you’ve seen some of Sarah Andersen’s work. She creates really short, but funny and meaningful, comic strips that show up everywhere as memes. She has two short collections, Adulthood is a Myth, and Big Mushy Happy Lump. I’ve read both of them and my main criticism would be that they’re just too short! I understand why they’re this length, Sarah mostly creates one page comics and with every page covering a different topic, they’re not going to be that long. And then there’s the whole thing where she actually has to draw all the artwork.
I always enjoy these. My favourite is still her first collection because I think it really showcases some of her best work and most popular comics. She’s tried a new type of storytelling in the last two books though where she has added some text followed by comics to tell and bit more of a story and address larger issues. Sadly I’m not really into this format as much, I like her stories, I’d just be more interested to see them told solely through comics, but I think Sarah might struggle a little bit with longer story telling through comics and I prefer her shorter comics. I think her shorter comics provide a really good social commentary on a huge variety of issues and how we interact in the world in the internet age.
So I didn’t love this book as much as the first, but there was still a few really great comics in here. She had two comics in this one that were directly about feminism and I really enjoyed them both, so I’d love to see more comics on social issues as I think this is a really good medium to share ideas and highlight how ridiculous some social norms really are. I will still continue to read whatever Sarah puts out, because they’re such a quick read and they always give me a laugh.

I highly reccomden this book. Sarah is such an amazing artist. Every time i "read" her comics is like : Ok, this is about me. My life is just "written" in this comis book. These comic books are too short, but so entertaining. With one word: LOL. Sarah's Scribbles always magically appear in my life just in time to cheer me up and I'm so grateful for them.

I love Sarah Andersen! Her books always make me smile. This one in particular is one of my favorites. I can relate to so many pages!
