Sometimes I feel like I'm an alien and this kind of book show me how awesome, and sad, being a human can be.

A cute collection of relatable comics about daily life.

Very quick to read, but the art is adorable and they’re perfect for when you need something easy to focus on.

This was cute but way too short and I found myself looking at the art more than caring about the text. Everything was very surface level.

I like reading this kind of book. It is a quick read about daily life from spring to winter.

There is nothing new about it but some of them are still enjoyable. Look at the panels where she prefer reading Harry Potter than a new book in her piles.

The drawing is cute. I like it somehow.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

Small Hours by Valerie Minelli is such a funny and relatable collection of webcomics. I have never come across Mrs. Frolleni on Instagram, but I think I am going to start following her immediately.

I really enjoyed this one!

I was provided an advanced digital copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley for review purposes, all opinions are my own.

There is a particular comic in here where she says she missed his smell and that he smells like home. I bawled my eyes out on that one.
Just like Catana Comics and Debbie Tung, Valerie also has made a place on my metaphorical coffee table. I love consuming these wholesome, happy yet simple comics. Makes my day!

I had never come across these comic strips before and they were a breath of fresh air. I read the whole book in one sitting and loved how relatable the characters were. Many of the comics were ones that I could instantly apply to my own situation and see things that had happened in my life that were reflected here.

With simple illustrations and minimal text these were a fun read. I'll be keeping an eye out for more Valerie Minelli comics.

I received an eARC from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've only seen a few Mrs. Frollein comics on my Insta explore page so most of the comics in this book were new to me. I love the quiet hopeful theme running throughout the book as the author captures ordinary life and its many simplicities. Love the artwork — cute and just right for the tone this book sets.

Definitely would recommend this for any webcomic-lover, or even as a really thoughtful gift.

Thanks NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I understand the hype with this comic book. It's cute and can be relatable - but not much for me (hence, the 3-star rating). It's more relationship-focused rather than self-focused. It includes the 4 seasons - which we don't have where I live. I do understand how other people could fancy it. The art itself is cute and not necessarily my ideal, but it's minimalist and no unnecessary distractions so I kinda like it.

Small Hours is a sweet collection of Mrs. Frollein comics that shows both the humour and tenderness that can be found in life and its relationships. In a time when news and events in the world is often heavy, Small Hours reminds us that there is still joy and quirky happiness that can be found in the everyday.

Easy peasy, relaxing, good to put a smile on the face, cute illustrations / art work. Put your feet up, have a cup of coffee, gather kids around and share.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC.

'Small Hours: A Mrs. Frollein Collection' by Valerie Minelli collects some of her popular webcomic.

The strips are divided into sections by seasons and feature mostly ordinary things like morning breath, trips to Ikea, living with someone you love. There are strips about leg shaving and social media and pets.

The art and strips are cute. I didn't find them laugh out loud funny, but they were nice. There are other strip collections I've read that they remind me of, so they didn't feel wholly original in nature. If you like other cute in love strips, you should like this as well.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I adored this collection of comics. I will have to find a way to share this with those friends and patrons who will *get* the relationships portrayed. There were so many strips that I wanted to share with others!

MRS. FROLLEIN! IT'S A MRS. FROLLEIN COLLECTION! She's one of my favorite webcomic authors on instagram, and I am so glad to see her book here on NetGalley. I love her sarcasm so much. I think I saw some of the pages already on instagram, but I'm happy to reread them again. I'm definitely grabbing a copy when it hits the shelves.

This is a quick read filled with heartwarming, funny and adorable comics. The art style is simple, which perfectly suits the theme of finding joy in the small/simple things. It's the perfect cosy Sunday read!

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It's a book full of warm fuzzy feelings. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

I liked the illustrations, there were some black/white and others full of colors. The coloured ones were my favourites. The stories were endearing but I couldn't relate with most of them and I didn't find them particularly funny.

This is another set of comic strips that are based on the life of a couple who are very comfortable with and around each other. It has all the small events and actions that take place as interactions. The little things make up a large chunk of the comics, and they are funny as well as warm. The drawings are a bit on the caricature side, but they convey the story.

Some of the initial choices felt a little repetitive, but like most collections, it got better the more I found my way into the book. I am sure most people would have come across at least a couple of these on the daily browse through the internet, but it is always fun to revisit. A majority of them have that cute, loving vibe so it may not be for those on the lookout for things that aren't in these categories.

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley, but the review is entirely based on my reading experience and my previous encounters with the comic strips.

This book was okay. Some of the humor was lost to me, other parts are funny, some simply cute. A fast, light read.
