Synopsis

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Snug and the bestselling Little Moments of Love comes an all-new collection, In Love & Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd of Catana Comics! 

When you've reached that sweatpants-wearing cozy place in your relationship, it's all In Love & Pajamas!  This brand-new collection of Catana Comics presents some fan favorites and half of the book features never-before-seen comics that delight and amuse readers of all ages.  Wholesome, sweet, feel-good humor!

My Thoughts

I love how Catana Chetwynd continues to capture the special and ordinary moments with her favorite person. Her comics are adorable and so relatable, and it's fun and heartwarming to see parts of our own relationships. Just like with SNUG, I'm able to enjoy the love expressed in this book with a fondness for my favorite person who is no longer with me.

Something that I love about IN LOVE & PAJAMAS is that you can open the book to any page and have a little chuckle. These comics make the mundane fun. There were some comics that made me literally laugh out loud and it was truly wonderful to feel those moments of joy. 

I cannot wait to have a copy of IN LOVE & PAJAMAS of my own so I can pick it up any time I may need a pick me up. AND it includes stickers!! 

IN LOVE & PAJAMAS would make a wonderful gift for the person who you like to snuggle with the most.

Synopsis

Why bother getting out of bed when you could stay bundled up with that special someone and a book of cozy, cute comics. From the author of the bestselling Little Moments of Love comes Snug, a collection of comics that perfectly captures the honest, playful, and relatable snapshots of romantic life.

Catana Chetwynd’s second book has the same charming and inviting style as her first and includes 50 percent new, never-before-shared comics. Snug is a celebration of the quirks and peculiarities of every one of us—and the magic that happens when we find our matching puzzle piece.

My Thoughts

I just adore the comics created by Catana Chetwynd. They've brought me such joy and this collection in SNUG makes me feel just warm and fuzzy just as the title implies. Her comics bring a smile to my face and can make me literally laugh out loud. She really captures those small moments of falling and living in love.

With her book, LITTLE MOMENTS OF LOVE, I would share my favorite comics with my husband because I thought they were "totally us". I would turn to him, show him a comic, and tell him, "Oh my gosh, THIS IS US!" It happened with comic after comic.

Even though he's no longer here for me to share SNUG with him, it made me feel good to read it because I still saw us in the comics. I could hear his laugh and him agreeing, "Yes, this is us."

And, if I'm being honest, there were times that it made me cry too.

SNUG came out in February of this year and I've read it a few times. Chetwynd's new book IN LOVE AND PAJAMAS will be available in February 2021.
