A very delightful and easy graphic novel to read on a lonely day. Extra props for introverts/early relationship folks and I smiled the whole time and I highly recommend this book and author.

This was funny, adorable, and such a quick read. The art is simple, which lends to the idea of small things that make someone happy. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Cute comic, and a really fast read. I laughed several times, and found the drawing style adorable, although I have to say that the humour is not exactly my cup of tea.

I would recommend it if you want a quick book and like or want to try comics.

Cute little four panel comics. Didn't seem funny to me and nothing I could relate to. Sorry would not recommend. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

This is an adorable collection of short comics that are both hilarious and relatable. The illustrations are so cute and you'll be shouting "I do that!" every few pages. I didn't really understand why the book was divided into seasons, but it didn't detract from the comics themselves.

This book can only really be enjoyed by adults in a long term relationship, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to purchase for my libraries, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I had not read Valerie Minelli's comic strip before picking up Small Hours. I adore this strip and the characters and tone she has created.

This is a fun, fluffy, light-hearted read that doesn't take long but will be fun to go back and skip through. I think these sorts of comics garner the attention because they're so relatable and make you realize that there are other people like you. It's all about little moments of every day life.

This is such a fun quick read! All of the comics were so relatable. The girl is quirky and pretty introverted. The comics made me laugh and I would definitely reread most of them!

More whimsical than actually funny, this compilation of web-pages shows a loving couple, and that's it – a loving couple sleeping, cuddling, avoiding work, and just getting through life with a few heart emojis to share between each other. If that is enough, then go for it – I wouldn't necessarily rush to return, and certainly would not expect to be buying this, but many will find it their thing.

Small Hours by Valarie Minnelli is a very cute and funny collection of comics. Relatable and very real.

3.5 stars ⭐

I wasn't familiar with Valérie's comics but I really liked her style, it reminded me of Soppy's work(which I LOVE). I would definitely pick up her other works in the future.

This is one of my new favorite books. The drawings were adorable and well done; they fit the story/message perfectly. Almost all of the comics were things that I, personally, could relate to without feeling super depressed about what my life is like. I would highly recommend this book.

Cute little collection of comic strips.

Great entertainment for an hour or so. Many of the strips brought a smile to my face and I found myself nodding as I could completely relate.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCHHHH.

I'm a fan of comics, especially romance ones, but this book was so precious and relatable I couldn't put it down. I wish I had the physical copy so I could read it when I'm feeling down and get little bursts of warm happiness. ♥️

The art is fresh and different and all the panels are unique and refreshing. I'd recommend it for anyone, it's definitely a happy little book that you should own.

What a great gem of a collection. I have never heard of Mrs. Frollein and came across this on NetGalley and thought it sounded interesting. In particular, the cover caught my eye. The drawings are very simple and whimsical and they capture the mood and story in (usually) 4 panels. In some ways, this reminds me of Baby Blues, which was a huge favorite of mine back when we got newspapers! After reading this, I immediately hopped onto Instagram and subscribed to Mrs. Frollein.

Most of the panels are black and white and they cover the ordinary couple going about their ordinary lives. I found myself laughing out loud in places (like the $500 Ikea trip) and also just smiling at the love this couple has for each other even with the frustrations they can have with life or even with each other. The woman and her boyfriend are very relatable (yes, I have a LOT of black in my wardrobe) and help you to see humor in our own foibles.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #ValerieMinelli for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. You now have a new fan!

Well, the illustrations here were really cute, but I didn’t think this was very funny or extraordinary in any way...

Small Hours is a quick read full of short stories that are relatable and funny. The pictures throughout the book are so adorable! This is a feel good book that would make a great gift. Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

I just reviewed Small Hours by Valerie Minelli. #SmallHours #NetGalley

Can't stop reading until the end!!! This book is so entertaining and I'm so lost in the read that I forgot about time. Enough said :D

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I can't get enough of the cute webcomics books that have been published lately. This one has adorable pictures and a lot of relatable comics. This is a quick, lighthearted read.

If you’ve spent any time browsing around online, then the odds are good that you’re going to recognize the name; Mrs. Frollein. Or, at the very least, recognize the artwork found within this book. Mrs. Frollein is a charming web series written and drawn by the lovely and talented Valerie Minelli.
Minelli has such a way about making her comics connect to a wide array of readers. And it’s all because of the heart she puts within her comics. Her characters are eclectic and anxiety riddled, but they’re also heartwarming and cheerful. They’re the perfect read for a rainy or sunny day. And more often than not, you’ll find that their actions mirror things you’ve done in your own life.
That’s the main reason I love Mrs. Frollein so much. The comics themselves are fairly cute as well, which is a major bonus. So naturally, when I saw that a series of the comics were going to get bundled up into one book (Small Hours) I found that I couldn’t resist giving it a read.
And I couldn’t be happier about that decision. Small Hours was every bit the delight I was hoping it would be. It was the perfect balance of down to earth and insane humor. The characters are quirky and silly at times. And at other times tackling the harder parts of living. It was emotional and so much fun to see all these comics together.
As if that wasn’t enough, Small Hours boasts one more special feature: twenty-five of the comic strips within these pages cannot be found online. They were made specifically for this book. So die-hard fans of the characters are going to want to check this one out!
