Jennifer Barstad (maidenoflight) This book really made me laugh. A lot of the stuff in this book is exactly how I feel at times. If you need a good laugh or just need a break from "adulthood" I suggest you read this book.

Zaz | 2969 comments Wow, Jennifer, you didn't write for which category you read it. What a shame for a senior member :p
(whatever, I'm sure it's a #1 read)

I read this one at its release, nothing really new for me as I discovered Sarah during the year because of her introvert comics. Now I follow her on Facebook, so I've my little comic each time she uploads a new one. She balances well humor and girls topics, so it's fun to read her small stories.

I read this book for #17, read a book with illustrations, and OMG I loved it! I was laughing through the whole book. Now that I think about it, I rarely see introverts as main characters in the novels I read, so it was a nice change seeing someone who thinks just like me on the page. I had never heard of this author -- I can't even remember how I heard about this book. But I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of her work. Thanks for the Facebook tip, Zaz! Im heading over to Sarah's page now!


Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3269 comments I read this book in about half an hour today for "a book under 200 pages" for the PopSugar Summer 2016 challenge. Like Zaz said, because I follow Sarah Andersen's Facebook page, this book wasn't really anything new to me, but I love her comics. I relate so strongly to so many of them!

Zaz | 2969 comments I didn't try her 2nd volume, let me know what you think of it Rachel if you end reading it!

Mel | 177 comments This wound up being my first ATY read of the year: "a book you expect to make you laugh." This definitely succeeded on that front; I found myself chuckling at certain comics & hysterically laughing at others, especially the period-related ones (which were hilarious and accurate, IMO).

Jody (jodybell) | 3477 comments I just read this for my 2018 Book Riot challenge (A comic written and illustrated by the same person). I'm familiar with her comics, although I don't follow her anywhere on social media.

As an introvert, and a woman, they're very relatable! I think I'd enjoy them more one at a time though, rather than in book form, as they began to feel very similar after a while.

I read this for 2019's Week 38: A book not written in traditional novel format (poetry, essay, epistolary, graphic novel, etc).

This is so very relatable. I found it was easy to breeze through the book; I can see the appeal of having this book on your coffee table to slowly peruse.
