I liked this one better than her second book, but didn't find the last part geared towards artists to be interesting.

I learned about this talented comic writer from my daughter. The cat cartoons have been especially enjoyed in our household but there is more. Sara Anderson humorously and effectively shows us our anxieties and issues. Try this book. Being able to laugh breaks the hard things down into manageable bites. It will help you to process and digest your experiences!

I really liked many scribbles but others were just average.

I loved Sarah's previous work and loved this latest edition as well. I was so excited to get an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for a review since I love her comics. All of the comics included in this edition were really relatable to me and I liked that in this version she has a few pages of copy talking about being an artist. She captures reality really well in her comics.

I love Sarah Andersen's work. As an book-loving, cat person introvert it speaks to me on a personal level. While reading I kept interrupting my boyfriend to show him comics that I felt explained myself to him better than any words ever could!
Ms. Andersen's honesty about herself is refreshing as well. She addresses her anxiety and shortcomings in a humorous manner that helped this reader feel less alone and thus less self-critical. I would definitely recommend Herding Cats to my friends and to any patrons (most likely millennial and younger) who need a good laugh and a light read to lift their spirits. I'm eagerly awaiting Sarah Andersen's next comic collection!

It’s likely that fans of Sarah Anderson will have seen all the comics collected in this book, but don’t let that stop you from picking up a copy. Not only are the comics funny (as always) but many of them have more impacted than anticipated. And as a bonus, supporting an artist you love is always a wonderful thing to do.
I’m a fan of Sarah Anderson; I’m not going to deny it. So much of what she draws just really resonates with me. As a creative who struggles with anxiety myself, I feel like she can put those feelings into words (or images, in her case) better than I could ever hope. Seeing the struggles occurring in somebody I respect…it’s a helpful reminder that we’re all human and we all have our own battles to fight. To see her winning those battles (posting artwork and doing what she loves, despite the anxiety and all the other roadblocks) is inspiring.
I love how despite the silly nature of it all, Sarah still takes a moment to be serious and talk to her fans. I’m sure she’s aware (as indicated by her directness in conversation here) that many of her fans look up to her, and would love to do what she does. Instead of seeing them as a threat or potential competition, she encourages them to keep at it; to continue producing artwork and ignore all the critics out there (and let’s be honest here, we’re all our own worst critics). I have so much respect for her for taking this stance.
I can’t wait to see what volume four will contain (I know I can check out her website as well, but I do enjoy supporting the books when they release). Maybe I’ll luck out and it’ll be another cat themed title!

Amazing, as always.

Sarah Andersen is my favorite, and HERDING CATS – the third in her Sarah’s Scribbles series – does not disappoint. Her trademark adorable line drawings, self-deprecating humor, and wry wit are all present and accounted for. While Sarah’s observations run the gamut, from popular trends to personal apocalypses, HERDING CATS is all about the three As: anxiety, animals, and art. Err, make that four: can’t forget about adulting, filed under “things that are impossible and threaten to break me on the daily.” (I feel you, girl. I’ve cried three times and counting, just today.)

The last section includes advice to aspiring artists, punctuated by pithy comic strips for the rest of us. I was not bored.

Some of the comics I remembered from her twitter feed, but many were new, or at least new-to-me. Nearly are all instant classics.

In sum: Buy this book. Buy it meow.

This made me smile and I had to show a few panels to friends because they were extremely relatable - what more could you want from a Sarah Andersen comic? I also really enjoyed the second half, which was Andersen's advice to artists and really just everyone on the internet. There was a lot of care put into it and I really appreciated it. It made me feel hopeful, which is sometimes rare in the current days, especially when discussing the internet. I enjoyed the previous two installments and if you did too, I think you'll also enjoy this one.

Sarah is back with her quirky sense of humour, cats and black leggings.
Fun read. Most of the issues in this book are very relatable and it offers good advice to artists who want to put their works out there. It makes you laugh at life's problems while encouraging you to enjoy life and chase your dreams.

Six word summary: My life displayed in comic format.

What I Love: Everything. These are so hilarious because they are absolutely relatable. I feel like every page I am nodding my head thinking "I thought I was the only one!"

Who should read it: People who also find life ridiculous at times, but enjoy fun as well!

Sarah’s stories are still incredibly relatable, adorable and funny.
As always, I’m looking forward to reading more!

I love Sarah's scribbles, and Herding Cats was no exception. In addition to the usual funny-usually-light hearted comics, Herding Cats came with a powerful message: CREATE. This struck home for me, because it IS easy to get caught up in the criticism and fear of messing up. It's harder to push past those feels and just keep creating for no other purpose than your own enjoyment. Because of the simplistic style of these comics, it risks becoming repetitive, but I always find each new batch just as entertaining as the last.

I loved this, it was sweet, relatable, perceptive and eloquently argued (when something needed to be), and for most of the time, I was lost in Sarah's world. It had a nice adding at the end (with more text), but I wouldn't like to spoil it for any potential readers. I'd just say: if you haven't had acquaintance with Sarah's work yet, this might be the best one to start with.

ARC from NetGalley (just in time!), thank you kindly.

This book takes a great look at coping with those anxious thoughts lots of us go through. Great illustrations make it easy to relate to.

This was the post-Trump comic I needed so I could be sweetly and hilariously reminded that a lot of us are in the same space right now and that, no matter what, pets and Fall are still great.

Sarah Andersen's comics about cats, introversion, and the life of an artist are always adorable and easy to relate to. In this collection, it's more of the same (which is good!), plus a helpful, brief guideline at the book's end for creative folks who sometimes struggle. If you haven't been reading Sarah Andersen, you are missing out on great stuff.

Andersen's drawings are both hilarious and relatable; it's hard to go a few pages without saying, "That's me!" It takes skill and insight to depict true emotion in a few drawings, and Andersen has both in spades.

I will not lie. I am not the biggest fan of this artist/author usually. I like bits here and there and then the rest isn’t for me. I thought that when I first picked up this galley, and now at the end I have had a change of heart. This book is full of the usual comic strips. The ones about books are my favorite, but then I hit this strip about the Nerd being bullied in public, to go home and become the online bully themselves, and it just hit me with all the feels. The author goes further, and towards the end of the book, calls out our lives as lived on screen, and that everyone who wants to create should. That there will be trolls and bullies, but also helpful criticism both good and bad. Never stop creating. Never let the trolls take over your life. I love the message at the conclusion of this book so much, it shot my review up to the best I give. We need more authors and illustrators making comments like this. Good job.!

Liked this one better than the previous one. The last chapter especially, sound advice on how to survive as a creative person on the internet... Good advice for anyone on the internet, really.

L'ansia, le scadenze, la creatività, l'amore, i gatti, l'inverno: condensata in poche, geniali vignette c'è tutta la vita, sopratutto interiore, di quella che ho scoperto essere un'artista sincera e sensibile.

Saggia, con il sorriso, e un oceano di forza interiore che usa per sopravvivere al mondo e a sé stessa ogni giorno.

Perfetto per farsi due risate, perfetto per trovare di che pensare, perfetto per sentirsi vicino qualcuno.

Perfetto.
