I've enjoyed this cartoonist's work before, but a whole book of them turned out to be not entertaining. And the title is super misleading, as there are about 2.5 librarian cartoons and the rest are about writers procrastinating their writing and book title puns. Bleh.

Cutesy.  Title is misleading.  This is a graphic novel mostly about writers and writers during lockdown.  It is a collection of 1 page graphic panels that repeat the same 3-4 jokes about writing and novels.  It was a fun alternative to the darker or more serious books I am currently reading or a substitute for scrolling social media but it was pretty repetitive.

It's like the Far Side Gallery but for authors and book lovers. It's completely relateable. I love the fact that there are a few interactive pages.
