Book Love

I fail to see how this book WON'T appeal to your average bookworm. Debbie Tung is spot-on with every observation about being a book lover ... from the hilarious things we use as a bookmark, to finding out what a book's title was as such. Her line cartoons are accented with monochrome washes, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them floating around before, so grabbing the review ARC was a no-brainer.

I feel truly seen. I feel validated. I feel happy and joyful and very very satisfied.

That's what I have to say after finishing this book and I can promise it'll be the same reaction from any book lover like me. But be prepared, this is for those book obsessed people whose life revolves around them, not the occasional readers.

Every page, every illustration, every line felt like something I would do or say or reproductions from my own life. I'm one of those who carries a book everywhere I go, would rather read in a corner than go out, and talk obsessively about books to anyone, irrespective of whether they are interested or not. And the gushing and fangirling.... I have never seen so much of myself on page before and I'm so glad this book exists.

My only disagreements - I would rather have coffee than tea while reading, and please don't dismiss e-readers - I cant imagine my life without them.

This book is the perfect gift for any book lover and I recommend this to anyone who wholeheartedly believes in the power of the written word.
