Book Love is a gift book of comics tailor-made for tea-sipping, spine-sniffing, book-hoarding bibliophiles. Debbie Tung’s comics are humorous and instantly recognizable–making readers laugh while precisely conveying the thoughts and habits of book nerds. Book Love is the ideal gift to let a book lover know they’re understood and appreciated.
If books were spirit animals, this would be mine! I related to every page, every drawing. This is a must-read for every book lover.
A must read for any book lover!
I have never taken the time to read a graphic novel. This book might have changed that for me. This book basically described me. I loved it. It literally made me laugh out loud. I love the drawings and I loved the story. This book was written for book lovers everywhere. It really doesn’t matter what genre you prefer, if you love books you will love this one.

This was an adorable and VERY accurate graphic novel. My only negative is that she dismisses those who choose to read on eReaders and insists that her way of books only is the “RIGHT” way, and that rubs me the wrong way. Reading is reading and we should be supporting each other in that, no matter what vehicle we use to get there. I won’t go into my usual rant about this [just know I have been turfed out of book groups because of my stance on this], but know that it did keep this from being a 5 star read for me.
Other that that one thing, this book is close to perfection. If you are a reader, this will make you smile [almost] the whole way through.
If you are a book lover you need to read tis book!!
Each comic shows what it is like to be a bookworm and some of the struggles we face, like getting emotional and staying up all night reading. I related to all of these comics, if you couldn’t tell.
I recommend this book for non-readers as well so they can understand how books impact us, especially for people dating book lovers. This was a quick read but great. I will definitely use some of these comics in the future.
If you love books, this is definitely for you. It is relatable on a spiritual level. I feel like this was written about me. Like seriously, something like one of the scenes in the book happened to me before. I didn’t care if I got wet, all I cared about was my book.
I actually read this twice already. I find comfort in how I’m never alone in this. Honestly, I just want to hug this book and say, “Thank you for understanding me.”
I highly recommend this to all book lovers out there. Truly, this is about book love.

Perfect for book lovers.
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.
