What a great book for all book lovers! Love the illustrations and how relatable it is! I laughed whenever I find myself in similar situations! A perfect gift for any book lovers!!

Thank you #Netgalley and Andrew's McMeel Publishing for a free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

This was one of the cutest, most relatable graphic novels I have ever read. Obviously the topic is great for any bookworm, and on basically every single page I was just screaming "ME ME ME" inside my head. I was tempted to make a list of all the pages I found the most relatable, but to be honest, that would have been nearly the whole book.

The mix of content was well done, too - I liked that there was some variety between the super #relatable, real-life scenes and the more "philosophic" ideas about books being windows into different worlds and feeling so close to book characters that they feel like friends.

The art style was also super cute. I often prefer greyscale illustrations because color can sometimes become overwhelming so this was perfect for me. The mix of comic-style panels and full-page illustrations (as well as pages where the different scenes were not actually separated by panel lines) was also really enjoyable.

My one tiny tidbit of criticism: Reading it in one go, this collection got a bit repetitive to me after a while so I wouldn't recommend that, and it makes sense considering the format the author usually publishes her work. And ultimately, this didn't take away much of my enjoyment.

I would highly recommend this to all booklovers and am keen to check out the author's other book as well!

Book Love is a short version of you and me every day living through the situations via book person's perspective, we surround our live around the books and books and so - the graphics are greyish black and white, the plot makes one laugh recognizing and relating, the same exact situation you have been through either in a bookstore or library - spotting the new arrival book section, spending all day reading and feeling great, and so many more. We have seen the quotation with book reader's situations and this short book is something very similar - except these are original illustrations.
I enjoyed how each page tells one story and "problem" in a bookish person's life. This is a funny and fast read.

The sweetest thing in the world. Cute and lovely. It would be an excellent gift book for a fellow book lover. I've got one in mind! Debbie Tung totally nails the compromises avid readers make when they live with other people. When conversation is a pain because it takes away from book time! The pull of a bookshop where you just can't wait to empty your wallet to acquire the latest book by your favourite author. The way you befriend characters and the way your heart strings are constantly tugged. This is a treat.

Thanks to Netgalley for giving me access to this little treasure.

Book Love was a very cute graphic novel. It really captured the love of reading and the struggles a booknerd has. It was extremely accurate and the pictures really fit the text.

I don't think I have ever read a book that I related to more than 'Book Love.' For those of us that are hardcore readers, it is sometimes hard to get other people to understand the things that are important to us. How a good book can affect us for days afterward. How we always bring a book with us (just in case!), and that it is sometimes just as hard - if not harder - to decide what book to bring than what to wear. Or that special feeling when we walk into a bookstore or a library and are surrounded by all that literary potential. Author Debbie Tung very obviously gets it. And in addition to the subject matter, the comic panels are adorable. My biggest note of critique was that I wanted it to be longer. I didn't want it to end!

A true bookworm is reflected in the pages of Debbie's book. Turning through the pages I would picture myself practically being drawn! *wink*
'Book love' is a collection of illustrations that bookworms all over the world will try post to each other. Did you stay up all night to finish your latest book obsession? I know I did.

5 stars!
This graphic novel was so good!! I loved it so much!! I recommend this book to everyone who love stories about books and readers!! Thank you to Netgalley for this e-arc in exchange of my honest review!

If you've read Quiet Girl in a Noisy World, you will be familiar with the style and illustrations of this book. The focus of the book is on the love of everything bookish. One of my favorite illustrations is about speaking in literary quotes--I'm guilty of that! I also loved the page titled "Memoirs I Could Write" and one of those being "To All the Books I Bought But Never Read". I think book lovers everywhere will be able to relate.

Absolutely cute illustrations. I would definitely recommend this title to fellow librarians and book lovers alike. There wasn't much plot but sometimes that's ok!

This book perfectly captures the way that book lovers see the world. From the fact that we find it nearly impossible to leave the house without a book to the fact that we become so attached to the worlds and characters that the ending of a book is almost physically painful. The perfect gift for the book lovers in your life.

Book Love by Debbie Tung is an amazing read. Every other page in this book made me go like oh this page is exactly how I feel like about reading and books. The content was very relatable. Graphics are simple yet pretty. All feelings of a bibliophile are captured aptly. I loved this book. It's undoubtedly a 5 star book.

What a delightful comic book that felt as if it was written just for me! I would smile and nod when one of the cartoons especially pertained to my own bookish quirks, and there were many. I can see gifting this to several of my bookish friends who also do these same things. This was such a quick fun read that really made me happy.

*Thanks so much to NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for the advance copy!*

This was incredibly charming! I really Tung's art style and humor in general but I especially loved that she curated all of her book related pieces into one book.

Although this is in black and white it only serves to highlight her humor. This is anything but plain

This is truly a delightful find! This book is a series of comics about being a book lover. The illustrations beautifully capture what it means to be a true book lover. I can completely relate to almost 100% of the book. I definitely have been guilty of using someone’s hand as my bookmark. Also, I always have a book with me whether it is a physical copy or an e-copy that I have on the reading app on my phone. This is a wonderful treasure that I recommend to any book lover.

I voluntarily agreed to read a copy of this book supplied by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced.

Although it was cute and relatable (I had "I do that!" moments almost every page) this felt a bit repetitive after a while. I was glad there where different illustrations sometimes like the pages with book covers to shake things up a bit

Such a fun book of cartoons depicting book need life! Happy to add a purchased copy to my collection of books about books.

Book Love is one of the most relatable books I have read. It is both an autobiography and a tribute to book lovers everywhere. It consisted of scenarios every bookworm has encountered several times in their lives. Who else but an ardent book lover can understand that movie tie-in covers are the bane of my existence or that it takes serious friend credentials for me to even let someone borrow a single book. Don't even get me started on book sniffing, I mean, whoever can successfully bottle the scent of books should win the FiFi Award.

Majority of the scenes were amusing. Many had uplifting messages. Some were repetitive. Overall, it was very entertaining.

This is not only a book for book lovers but for people close to them so they could understand all the quirks and troubles a book nerd goes through just for books.

P.S.

I received a copy of Book Love from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I loved this so much! A perfect Christmas or birthday gift for any bibliophile. The illustrations matched perfectly to the funny statements attached to each page. I related to this so strongly on so many pages and I would recommend it to anyone as a quick, easy read for anyone that loves books.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing who provided an advance reader copy via NetGalley.

I found myself smiling throughout this book as I was totally relating to this book! Definitely hit the nail on the head!! So fun.
