My Thoughts

I have been following Debbie Tung’s cartoons on social media and was thrilled at being able to review her latest, ‘Book Love’. If you have not seen her work, you simply must check her cartoons out and if you are in any way obsessed with reading, then this truly is a must have! It was her debut of, ‘Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert’s Story’, that first drew my attention. I have not looked back since and smile when her cartoons come up in my Instagram feed.

Debbie’s comics capture simple everyday moments that happen to us all. She has a great love of books and tea - so here at Great Reads & Tea Leaves, we are definite fangirls! This book contains absolute little gems that nail it for all of us book obsessed beings. It is a homage to books and being a lover of books. There will be undoubtedly more than one occasion when you will smile with the book loving moments Debbie captures.

Short and sweet, this book will reel you in and provide the vindication that you are not alone in your obsession. Page after page will lay before you moments and situations that will have you nodding your head in agreement, everything from fave books, to love of bookstores and more!

If you love books you must delve into the array of scenarios that will resonate so strongly. What a great gift this would make to the book lover in your life! Thank you Debbie for documenting so succinctly what many of us feel.

Short to read but guaranteed to put a lasting ‘smile on your dial’, this is a little book that must be read by all lovers of literature. Lighthearted, relatable, and full of what we all love most of all!
