Herding Cats

Goodreads Synopsis:    Adjusting to life as a world-famous cartoonist isn't easy. Terrifying deadlines, piles of junk-food wrappers under a glowing computer screen, and an ever-growing horde of pets....umm, never mind--it's pretty much the same.

With characteristic wit and charm, Sarah Andersen's third collection of comics and illustrated personal essays offers a survival guide for frantic modern life: from the importance of avoiding morning people, to Internet troll defense 101, to the not-so-life-changing futility of tidying up. But when all else fails and the world around you is collapsing, make a hot chocolate, count the days until Halloween, and snuggle up next to your furry beacon of hope.

My Thoughts:

-    I have a big fan of Sarah's Scribbles. I love how relatable and hilarious her comics are.

-    I kept trying to show my husband specific pages saying, "This is me!" Since I did this with the previous two books as well, he just looked at me and said, "Every page is you." I couldn't help it. Each page is so funny and just like me that I can't help but share.

-    I love that Sarah takes everyday insecurities and other things and makes them funny. I think they are so funny because they are so true. 

-    The illustrations add to the humor. The facial expressions crack me up!

-    If you haven't read any of Sarah's books, you really need to!

Goodreads Says:    Sarah Andersen's hugely popular, world-famous Sarah's Scribbles comics are for those of us who boast bookstore-ready bodies and Netflix-ready hair, who are always down for all-night reading-in-bed parties and extremely exclusive after-hour one-person music festivals. 

In addition to the most recent Sarah's Scribbles fan favorites and dozens of all-new comics, this volume contains illustrated personal essays on Sarah's real-life experiences with anxiety, career, relationships and other adulthood challenges that will remind readers of Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened. The same uniquely frank, real, yet humorous and uplifting tone that makes Sarah's Scribbles so relatable blooms beautifully in this new longer form.

My Thoughts:

-    I love Sarah's books! They are so hilarious! Each page is a gem. 

-    I love sharing my favorite pages with hubby. He would get a kick out of them too. This is one of those books you just have to share.

-    The situations and topics are SO true!! It is what makes the book so funny.

-    I think any woman would get a kick out of this. It is mostly geared towards women, but I think guys would find it funny as well. 

-    I love how Sarah talked about being an introvert and how being social is hard. She did it in a very honest and humorous way. 

-    I can't to read more!

Adulthood Is a Myth

From Goodreads:    Are you a special snowflake? 

Do you enjoy networking to advance your career?

Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared?

Ugh. Please go away.

This book is for the rest of us. These comic document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas, and wondering when, exactly, this adulthood thing begins. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life.

My Thoughts:

-    This book was HILARIOUS!!! It nailed so many things! From clothes, to books, to dealing with people, this book was SO me!

-    I laughed at so many pages that my husband read this as well, and he thought it was really funny. He also saw me in most of the pages.

-    The artwork just adds to the humor. The girl is so weird looking, and he eyes are so funny. They get really buggy..

-    This is a must read for any book lover and introvert.
