Adulthood Is a Myth
Adulthood Is a Myth: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection | Sarah Andersen
These casually drawn, perfectly on-point comics by the hugely popular young Brooklyn-based artist Sarah Andersen are for the rest of us. They document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet,the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, anddreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. Oh and they are totally not autobiographical. At all.Adulthood Is a Myth presents many fan favorites plus dozens of all-new comics exclusive to this book. Like the work of fellow Millennial authors Allie Brosh, Grace Helbig, and Gemma Correll, Sarah's frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious.

After a string of books that I just couldn‘t get through, this was a quick, cute, and funny collection. #pop23 #bookwitharabbitonthecover

squirrelbrain I read this one for the same prompt. I love the page you picked - I often think this myself when people suggest I should ‘just stop worrying‘! 🤣 14mo
Cortg Graphic novels always pull me out of a reading rut. It makes your brain read different when taking in the graphics with the storyline. A nice little reset. I‘ll have to check this one out. 14mo

I was idly scrolling through the #pop23 prompts on Goodreads last night, and saw this book tagged for #abookwitharabbitonthecover.

I‘ve seen lots of posts before with these Sarah‘s Scribbles on and always found them funny and relatable but this was a bit less enjoyable than I expected. Maybe as it‘s the first one and *very* teenagery?

Still a pick though.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I read this a few years ago and I think the charm is seeing one comic at a time. A rapid fire review through the book likely takes the charm away. 1y
Ruthiella I‘ve never read any of these books, but they do look charming and funny when others review them. 1y

I realized yesterday I had an entire month of hoopla borrows to use up and kind of went on a graphic novel binge...plus bonus borrows...so today I‘ve read four of them so far.
I didn‘t really care for this. I‘ve liked them on Facebook, but it seems small doses are best. A whole book was excessive. A few chuckles for a so-so.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I debated trying to squeeze this in, but I think I'll pass. 3y

A handful of relatable ones, but I guess am not so antagonistic toward being an adult as the author. Also definitely not quite as introverted. I loved the bunny the most!

Oh my goodness!! Love!!! ♥️😆
I requested this one on a whim from another library in my system and it came at the most perfect time -- this US election gauntlet we are experiencing. It's the only thing I'm able to focus on; I've even been off litsy. 😱 But I needed a break from it all and was able to escape with these adorable drawings of some super relatable situations. Books sometimes find us at the perfect time.

Yesterday‘s #libraryhaul! It was my first time actually going to the library and browsing since the beginning of the year and I really enjoyed it, although the library had been renovated and rearranged which really threw me off. The top book on the stack is going to be my first try at reading a book in Spanish. I‘m not very hopeful about understanding a lot of it but I‘m going to try!📚

This was my favorite panel from this book. Overall I really enjoyed it, but as someone who is married and been an adult longer then they were a child many of the comics didn‘t ring true to my life. Book 51. 4⭐️

“ I‘m pretty sure adulthood was a myth all along” Sarah Anderson. This book reminded me of reading the funny pictures when I was a kid but with scenarios that are so more relatable. Super cute and fun and worth picking up.

I decided to just review these together since they are short and I enjoyed all three. I've been doing a Graphic Novels/Comics readathon for November. I have always liked these little comics online so I was excited to see a whole collection of them. Sarah Andersen does a fantastic job capturing the inner workings of many introverts in her comics.

My August 2019 books read, part 1. My favorites were all of the Sarah Andersen books. The Gown was a lovely story about friendship and perseverance. My husband did the audiobook of The River and really enjoyed it, maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had listened too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ve always loved Sarah Anderson‘s comics, and I adore her humor. Her books are an incredibly short read and are light-hearted about everyday life, mental health, and being an introvert. If you haven‘t seen her work before, make sure to check her out.

I‘m guessing that many of you already know how great this collection is, because I‘ve seen Andersen‘s cartoons on Litsy a lot. Humour is medicine. It triggers the release of serotonin and endorphins, lowers stress, lifts our mood, helps put problems into perspective, and improves our physical health. We all need to laugh. Littens, keep on posting funny things, ok?

kspenmoll Yes! 😂😂😂 5y

Is it still called metafiction when a cartoonist references #comics conventions? Whatever it‘s called, Andersen uses it brilliantly here.
