A really quick, very goofy, adult graphic novel that never takes itself too seriously but maintains a needed touch of maturity nonetheless.

Enjoy!
First graphic novel I‘ve read. I‘ve been trying to find this book at a library for a couple of years, moved to Ohio and it was waiting for me to be read. A quick read but very relatable. #single #bears #boyfriend
A cute graphic novel - pretty much what it says on the tin. Girl meets bear. Bear - who doesn‘t talk and spends winter hibernating - is somehow a better boyfriend than human men she has dated. A fun but unexpected romance!
This was a graphic novel which was pretty straight forward. There is a woman. She starts dating a bear. I thought it might be a metaphor or something but it was not. It was about a bear.
I've been looking forward to reading this for awhile now. I think today is the perfect day for it! 😁 My husband's reaction to the cover and title was priceless! 😂
I was worried that this human plus bear romantic comedy might be too weird, but it‘s just right. Sweet, funny and surprisingly real. A #graphicnovel with plenty of heart.
The day-to-day relationship stuff is pretty funny with a real bear as Nora‘s boyfriend.
Ben: Bring London! Bring Kerouac! But Glamour?
(Nora‘s ex-boyfriend Ben is a meany and a pretentious snob.)
This is really adorable and fun. I don‘t know what‘s not to like. A great graphic novel with a fun theme. 🐻 #librarybook

My morning reads pushed me past my Goodreads goal! Really enjoyed "Nothing Can...", a high school GN without the hyper-melodramatic BS. "Screwhead" was strange, but, by the author's own admission, never meant for public distribution.
"My Boyfriend is a Bear" was just weird. Sincere and sweet, but the couple were in their own fairy tale bubble while everyone else is questioning the sanity and safety of the situation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
How adorable... and weird... and hilarious. I loved the ending. 💕
(And yes, her boyfriend REALLY is a bear.)
5/5 10/10 🌟🌟🌟 absolutely wonderful! I borrowed this from the library but I need to own a copy!!
I love this super cute shoutout to the podcast Oh No! Ross and Carrie. Anyone else catch this?
I loved loved loved it! I would love to read a bunch more :)
This graphic novel was so sweet! I first heard about this from Margot Wood on YouTube, she‘s formerly from Epic Reads but now works for Oni Press, the graphic novel publishers that this is from. Once you get past the fact she‘s dating a real black bear(complete with sexy time, adult themed panels)you just live for how cute & sweet it is. Bear kinda reminds me of the hubby, great at cuddles, loves his kitty, terrible at cleaning up his crap.10⭐️
omgahhhh I‘m actually loving this so far 😂😂😂
*Not a complete list!
🐻🐻🐻
I LOVED this graphic novel. It did make me cry. One one complaint, too much cat death!
#BookMail Pt4 Finally There‘s this graphic novel which was recommended by Margot Wood,formerly from Epic Reads.This looks super cute, it‘s about Nora who has always had bad luck with men.Then she meets a bear while on a hike & he turns out to be the most romantic & caring boyfriend she‘s ever had. Yes, I know. It‘s an inter species relationship which a lot of people will go ewww about. But if you suspend belief for awhile, it‘s a very sweet story.

I am drawn in by the title to this. Not sure if I'll like it. But I picked it up because I know it would have been something my best friend would have read & laughed about.
This was sweet and silly, with a dash of sadness. I really liked this one.
My Boyfriend Is A Bear is sweet and funny and has a lovely message. Highly recommend!
This one would be a five if not for the ableist language and low-key fatmisia. The plot is what it says on the tin: Nora‘s boyfriend is a literal bear. The art on this is gorgeous; I especially loved the hibernation art. A sweet romance (featuring a garbage mum and bestie)! tw: cat death (from old age)
Cat Farris (the artist) was at #ALAAC18 and has the most adorable signature for this book!
I‘m still recovering from Annual and the world is on fire, so time to relax with a bath and a graphic novel romance.
I heard about this on the #NPR #popculturehappyhour podcast on the ‘what‘s making us happy‘ section yesterday...
It was described as weird, funny, sweet and romantic and after yesterday‘s news I decided this sounded like just what I needed. Downloaded on a whim, and so glad I did!
It was exactly that... cute, quirky, and made me smile.... 💕👍📚
3⭐️ I cant decide if I liked this book. It's a love story of a woman and bear. The bear is everything she has ever wanted in a man, and she loves him. The bear is not anipahorphic, it does not talk, but it does get a job, fix things, etc. The panel about mating season being fun… Can‘t get that one out of my head. Especially when there is an illustration later in the book of 2 bears mating, that the human bear mating thing ...eeeeeee.
This is so insightful & adorable, I can hardly 🐻 it.
Yep, I went there!
This was a breath of fresh air for me. I was truly surprised at how deep and touching this story was, and appreciated how different it was from the majority of graphic novels that I tend to read. I loved the main character Nora, and sympathized with her never ending struggle to find a decent, and respectful man that will treat her right. She ends up meeting Bear, and falling in love with him. ⬇️⬇️ continued below⬇️⬇️
Few of my #NCBD purchases! Looking forward to Infidel no. 2 #newcomicbookday #comixology #comics #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #recommendsday
This was in my mailbox today! I love getting bookish mail. 😊 I don‘t mind waiting in the waiting room now. Lol
Nora has dated a lot of jerks. Now all she wants is a boyfriend that will cuddle. Though friends and family are not always supportive of her choice, she finds the perfect boyfriend in a bear. Their relationship is cute and almost perfect, but what will happen when winter comes?
Weird premise, but I loved it!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Laying on the hammock about to start this #NetGalleyARC #HammockReads
Evening reading. 🐻
Nora has dated quite a few douche bags in her day. (She said it...) It is no surprise that she wants her next boyfriend to be a CUDDLER! Good Listener! Brave! Smart! Funny! A homebody & outdoorsy fella. WHEW! Clearly she's not one to settle but she knows it's going to be rough finding the guy. Perhaps that why she's so open to a relationship with the bear that pursues her later that evening.
Cute but maybe a little too real, not whimsical.
