Summary

The newest Sarah's Scribbles collection from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Andersen

The fourth book in the enormously popular graphic novel series， the latest collection of Sarah's Scribbles comics explores the evils of procrastination， the trials of the creative process， the cuteness of kittens， and the beauty of not caring about your appearance as much as you did when you were younger。 When it comes to humorous illustrations of the awkwardness and hilarity of millennial life， Sarah's Scribbles is without peer。

I received an eARC courtesy of Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。Andersen does not disappoint with this book。 It is always refreshing to find something so utterly relatable。 And just truly funny。For Libraries: While classified as adult， there is no real content issues to be wary of。 I think a great deal of teens can probably relate the the humor here。 So if Andersen has fans in your community， this might be worth adding to your shelves。

Sarah is universally snort-your-coffee-out-your-nose funny。 I'm always amazed how she fits all this dramatic motion into one， seemingly simply drawn page。 I guess it helps that she completely gets me and those like me。 can't wait to share this one with friends。 I loved it。 Sarah is universally snort-your-coffee-out-your-nose funny。 I'm always amazed how she fits all this dramatic motion into one， seemingly simply drawn page。 I guess it helps that she completely gets me and those like me。 can't wait to share this one with friends。 I loved it。 。。。more

I was given an advanced reader copy of Oddball from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I’m a huge fan of Sarah Anderson and her scribbles series。 Her cartoons are absolutely delightful and volume four is no different。 She has a wonderful way of expressing herself in these scribbles so that anyone can relate。 Even with only a few panels， Sarah is able to have you laughing。So give it a try and prepare yourself because once you start you won’t be able to put the book down！

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review！This was another fun and relatable graphic novel by Sara Andersen。 As always， the illustrations were creative， expressive， and delightful in Andersen’s signature art style。 Oddball is full of many brief relatable moments to enjoy and think further on。 I do wish those had been longer or that there was something to bridge each mini story so that it didn’t feel random at times。 My favorite comics were all the ones Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review！This was another fun and relatable graphic novel by Sara Andersen。 As always， the illustrations were creative， expressive， and delightful in Andersen’s signature art style。 Oddball is full of many brief relatable moments to enjoy and think further on。 I do wish those had been longer or that there was something to bridge each mini story so that it didn’t feel random at times。 My favorite comics were all the ones that involved cats。 Oddball was a good read that I read quickly in one sitting。 。。。more

Such a funny and creative book relating to daily struggles the introverts go。 This book will resonante with anyone with introvert personality， found themselves oftenly in socially awkward situations， have love for animals，love to read ， procrastinate。 I loved it a lot，some instances were really relatable。My only complaint is that it finishes so quickly， I would like to read more books like these。

Another adorable and relatable edition of Sarah's Scribbles。 I have loved every installment and this is no different！ I love the drawings; very cute without having a lot going on。 The subject matter is ALWAYS so relatable。 As I was reading I would be like "Oh， that reminds me of so and so"， "MEEEEE"， and "Not wrong。"。 Very cute。 Very relatable。 So funny。 I love reading them when they come out and hope there is another！ Thank you to Sarah Andersen， Andrews McMeel Publishing， and NetGalley for an Another adorable and relatable edition of Sarah's Scribbles。 I have loved every installment and this is no different！ I love the drawings; very cute without having a lot going on。 The subject matter is ALWAYS so relatable。 As I was reading I would be like "Oh， that reminds me of so and so"， "MEEEEE"， and "Not wrong。"。 Very cute。 Very relatable。 So funny。 I love reading them when they come out and hope there is another！ Thank you to Sarah Andersen， Andrews McMeel Publishing， and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I received an ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。These books are always so relatable and funny。 Oddball was notable because it had lots of monster-y jokes （Medusa， Dracula） and lots of relatable comics around obsessing about fictional things。 There were a couple of pandemic references which I also appreciated。 You can never go wrong picking up a Sarah's Scribbles book if you need a pick-me-up。 I received an ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。These books are always so relatable and funny。 Oddball was notable because it had lots of monster-y jokes （Medusa， Dracula） and lots of relatable comics around obsessing about fictional things。 There were a couple of pandemic references which I also appreciated。 You can never go wrong picking up a Sarah's Scribbles book if you need a pick-me-up。 。。。more

In this fourth book in the Sarah's Scribbles collection， the author showcases the same sense of humor that made her relatable and famous， but with enough small changes on the topics she touches on to make sure she doesn't become repetitive or cringe and stays current （no easy task！）Andersen clearly still knows what's popular and what's not with her public， very online millennials， and keeps giving us what we crave。 There's the classic cat jokes and praise for comfortable clothes， but she also po In this fourth book in the Sarah's Scribbles collection， the author showcases the same sense of humor that made her relatable and famous， but with enough small changes on the topics she touches on to make sure she doesn't become repetitive or cringe and stays current （no easy task！）Andersen clearly still knows what's popular and what's not with her public， very online millennials， and keeps giving us what we crave。 There's the classic cat jokes and praise for comfortable clothes， but she also pokes good-natured fun at her emo， contrarian past self and starts to get into millennial-Gen Z dynamics。 There's even a few gags about lockdown and some jabs at women's treatment or expections from society。All in all， it's slightly different so it could stay the same。 It's not a comic that will tell you anything particularly meaningful， it won't change your life， but it's a fun， easy read that appeals to a big public。Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC。 。。。more

First of all， I’d like to thank Sarah Andersen and Netgalley for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review。 I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s comics since 2016 and have read all previous installments of her Sarah’s Scribbles Series。 Because of that， my expectations were sky-high and the book did not disappoint， even though I’ve seen several of the comics beforehand through her social media， none of them failed to make me laugh。 The facial expressions on her drawings are always hilarious， and the nu First of all， I’d like to thank Sarah Andersen and Netgalley for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review。 I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s comics since 2016 and have read all previous installments of her Sarah’s Scribbles Series。 Because of that， my expectations were sky-high and the book did not disappoint， even though I’ve seen several of the comics beforehand through her social media， none of them failed to make me laugh。 The facial expressions on her drawings are always hilarious， and the number of emotions she can convey is surprising considering her art style。 Being the fourth book in the series， Oddball is also a testament to how much Andersen has improved and perfected her drawings， and witnessing her progress as an artist is something that brings me great joy。 I believe that one of the main reasons for my love of Andersen’s art is that the topics she depicts are so relatable， both to myself and countless other readers。 In Oddball she represents well several subjects， such as the struggles of more introverted people， the friendship dynamics between extroverts and introverts， the struggles faced by twenty-somethings that are still figuring out how to be an adult， the joys and downfalls of being a reader， how incredibly in love we all are with our pets and many more。 Being on the autism spectrum I’m not represented in most of the media I consume， so what makes me happier when it comes to her comics is how seen I feel， even though Andersen has not （to my knowledge） disclosed to the public whether she is or not autistic herself， she captures perfectly certain aspects of autism。 For example， how it is to have hyperfixations and special interests， how “weird” other people can make you feel for being “obsessed” with specific subjects， and how much you wish to share your special interests with others。This is a funny， wholesome， and light-hearted read and that can make any bad day seem a little brighter。 Also， it has MEDUSA IN IT， need I say more？#Oddball #NetGalley Marina Garrido。 。。。more

As a fellow awkward millennial who loves animals， witches， and fall I really relate to Sarah's cartoons。 She has a knack for being able to show what it's like when you're the odd one out， the last one to the fandom， or the one decorating for Halloween when it's still 100 degrees out。 It's refreshing to have cartoons about a late 20s character who isn't focused on love or children or acting like they have it all together。This particular collection focuses on embracing the things that make you hap As a fellow awkward millennial who loves animals， witches， and fall I really relate to Sarah's cartoons。 She has a knack for being able to show what it's like when you're the odd one out， the last one to the fandom， or the one decorating for Halloween when it's still 100 degrees out。 It's refreshing to have cartoons about a late 20s character who isn't focused on love or children or acting like they have it all together。This particular collection focuses on embracing the things that make you happy， finding your people， and loving your pets - whether they return the love all the time or not。 There are some comics in here that have been shared on social media but also several new ones - and they all made me smile and laugh - just what we need right now！ I reviewed a copy of this from NetGalley but all thoughts are my own。 。。。more

I love Sarah Andersen’s comics。 I wish there’d been a bit more continuity to how these were all chosen， but they were all good ones。 I especially like the Millennial joke ones and the reading ones。 I have Andersen’s day planner and a bunch of these comics are also in there。 That’s also a super fun way to use a planner and I really like it。 I’ll keep reading her stuff — it always cracks me up。Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy。 I love getting to read things before they come out。 :）
