Slothilda: Living the Sloth Life
Are you a fan of doughnuts, the internet, and naps? Slothilda is your kindred spirit! This colorful, sweet, and funny book is the perfect gift for someone you know who really wishes he or she was living the “sloth life.”
Slothilda feels pressured to overachieve in a fast-paced world, but she's constantly fighting her DNA. Though Slothilda's sluggish ways might occasionally hold her back, it turns out her perceived deficits are actually her greatest attributes.
Slothilda gives us permission to feel unashamed about our slothy tendencies and emphasizes the importance of celebrating our authentic selves.
From former Simpsons animator Dante Fabiero comes this all-too-real comic series about an adorable little sloth who's driven by her desire for self-improvement. Slothilda explores an inner conflict we can all relate to–the desire to succeed and grow, while paradoxically dealing with the ever-present temptation to sloth.
With hilarious themes related to work, fitness, food, shopping, and pets, this book shows that you're not the only sloth at heart.

As soon as I saw the cover for Slothilda, I wanted to read it immediately, because the title character is so adorable that I couldn't pass her by. I dove into this one as soon as my Netgalley approval came through, because, come on—a cute little sloth with her Corgi pup, lamenting the struggles of a lazy life? Yes, please.
Slothilda is absolutely just as precious as I expected it to be, and then some. The artwork is fun and light, and Slothilda's plight is totally relatable. A vicious cycle of working out, then eating junk food, and repeating ad nauseam? Using your workout equipment as something to hang clothes on? Being glued to your phone all day, hiding your clutter, and spending money on all the wrong things? I think a lot of us have been there, and I know I sure have those days, so it was kind of fun to see it taken out of its naturally less-than-ideal state and translated into this cutesy little character who you can't fault for her laziness, even if you wanted to, because it makes her so happy!
Not to get too deep or anything, but Slothilda also functioned as an unexpected moment of self-reflection for me. On the one hand, some of what we see in the little comics had me a little like, "Ouch, just tag me next time, huh?" and feeling self-conscious and like I need to make some changes in my life. On the other hand, some of the things shown are so harmless and make little Slothilda and her pup so happy that it drew an opposite reaction from me: How often do we force ourselves to fit a certain criteria just because it's what society says is "best" for us? Do we do more harm than good sometimes? I know, "it's not that deep, Destiny," but it's food for thought.
Anyways, this book is adorable, Slothilda is a precious little character, and I loved it. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's so over-simplified that it doesn't feel like it should be considered a full release. It would make a good coffee table book, but if I had paid full price, I can't help but think I'd feel a little bit let down, as most of the book is empty white page space.
Thank you so much to Skyhorse Publishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Based upon the premise and cover, this sounded like a fun and light reading for an evening. Unfortunately, for me it was not.
Half of it is related to diet and exercising, the other half to various every day topics. Most are repetitive and I didn’t like much the drawings either. Just two of them made me smile and here they are:
The gifs on his site are a bit funnier and from my PoV, the author should have developed it further instead of publishing a book.

*All of my reviews are as spoiler-free as possible unless states otherwise*
Update: January 9, 2018
So I kind of reread/skimmed this book again recently and I just want to add to my initial review here on Goodreads how precious Slothilda and Peanut are! Aside from being cute n cuddly, Fabiero was able to make relatable content while keeping the feel-good feeling as the pages go on. There is room to improve on in that I am definitely looking for more content and scenes that are not so common in the media if this were to be followed.
Going into this book, I got what I expected and was not let down by the entertainment value in it.
I am so excited for the future Slothilda projects and I will keep on supporting Dante Fabiero & Slothilda!! It's cute, it's relatable, and definitely something I would want on my nightstand for a quick read & glance every once in a while after my binge read or something to flip through when I feel down. That is without considering my love for corgis. . .
I am a fan. If that is not already obvious.
[[My mistake for tagging this as a Graphic Novel but rather a compilation of cartoons and mini stories]]

Update: September 27, 2018
I actually really enjoyed this graphic novel. And I like how the format is kind of similar to poem books (divisions and some content) but contains a minimalistic but satisfying cartoon to make them that more entertaining. It was so relatable and I found myself aww-ing at every page that had peanut in it <3

This was so freaking AWESOME!
"Patience is a virtue. Unless I'm hungry, then patience can kiss my ass."
The description says Slothilda could be your spirit animal...and in my case I believe that to be true.
"I'm gonna stop procrastinating....Right after this nap."
The pictures are really well done and the charisma leaps off the pages. Certainly something I would encourage everyone to get a giggle from.
"Self-control? I'm only familiar with instant regret."
Thank you NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for this DRC.

How can a comic series describe you so easily? It's astonishingly relatable.
The comics are simple and short, covering the most important aspects of life. I thought there would be scenes that were accurate, but I didn't imagine there were that many.
It's cute, simple and funny. I love how creative the lines were. I wanted to bookmark every page. Adorable.

Ahoy there mateys! I have always known that the sloth is one of me spirit animals (though mine would be sarcastic and grumpy). So when Millie @ milliebotreads shared her thoughts on this gem, I knew I had to buy it. It was worth every doubloon. I absolutely love Slothilda and am very glad to have added this book to the hold. This was not a stowaway because I just got it but gets included in this list because it is the end of the year and I have one more posting day. I might have to buy merchandise. Because of this:
Arrrr!

I can really find my self in Slothilda..it was a fun read..loved the illustrations ♥

I fear too many of us can identify with this book.
It is a mirror to our inner slothness; putting off things until tomorrow that could be achieved / completed today. The trouble with tomorrow is that it is always a day away.
This is a comic reflection on habits, sayings and fashion that often drives one to find the latest diet, health fad or annual gym membership that only involves attending once or twice. The usefulness of gym equipment if not using it for its intended purpose.
I loved the cartoons; the character of Slothilda is a delight and her logic is beyond challenging at times. I smiled with the words. "I made my bed, now I must lie in it!"
Also "My Superpower is ...... ...Power Napping."
Not everyone's sense of humour but something for everyone and the cartoons are really cool.
This one nearly made me laugh out loud LOL!
"I don't wanna hydrate
I wanna carbohydrate."
The book is made to amuse not shame.
Sometimes through humour we can learn truths, where telling, would fall on deaf ears.

2,5/5. A humorous comic book about trying to get fit. It begin with the usual joke about fitness, injury, food, motivation and so on. After that we cover a variety of subject/activity but all related to laziness in a way or another (not achieving thing and too much eating). Not bad, the jokes are alright, the illustrations are okay and everything is fine. Just a big lack of originality that hurts it.

I related way too much to this sloth.
September 28, 2020
This was so witty and adorable, I chuckled a lot while reading this one. Slothilda is officially my spirit animal.
If you struggle with procrastination and your desire to succeed in life is always at war with your temptation to sloth away, this is the book for you.

I am a fan of Slothilda and sloths in general, and therefore, this was a must-read for me. I loved the art and found myself smiling and giggling throughout the entire book.
I think we all have a little bit of sloth inside us. Some of us are better at keeping it in check more so than others, but I think it's there, and because of that, I believe many people will be able to relate to Slothilda's struggles. I probably related to the diet and exercise bits the most, but also adored the fur baby parts. Seriously, could Slothtilda get any cuter? Add Peanut her dog, and yes she can.
I enjoyed this fun little book, which made me chuckle and smile and was a wonderful little pick-me-up for me.

I saw one reviewer that called this a graphic novel.
This is not a graphic novel.
This is a series of sometimes funny cartoons about life, as lived by a sloth creature that would rather eat then exercise, or procrastinate, or stay messy, as many of us do, at least a bit, in our day to day lives.
And of course, if you have followed the adventures of Slothida online, then you will want to have this collection all in one place. The subjects covered are Fitness, Food, Work, Money, Home, Lifestyle and Fur baby.
An enjoyable book for what it is.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is a really cute collection of cartoons based around our best intentions vs our inner sloth. The character is adorable though it maybe looks a little more bird-like than sloth-like. Either way, the cartoons will bring a smile or a chuckle.

This was a very cute illustrated quite to the 'sloth life'. Some of the comics made me chuckle and I'm a big fan of the sweet drawing style and soft colours. I would have liked a few longer/more in depth comic strips, but I did enjoy a lot of these, especially the ones that included Slothilda's dog, Peanut.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I vaguely can remember that I saw this character before seeing her book on Netgalley. Maybe Twitter? I will have to do some research later.
Meet Slothilda, a sloth who is very much like us humans. She is trying all sorts of things to improve herself, but also being lazy as hell. :P I know that Slothilda is my spirit animal. I am a very active person, but something I just want to curl up and be lazy. Just do nothing. Nothing at all. Maybe sleep.
Oh, oh, oh, that foam roller! That is me with something else. I bought an exercise/yoga mat last year with the full intention to use it, but I actually used it a few times, and then, forgot about it. Teehee. Thanks for reminding me, Slothilda.
Fully supporting her using the gym ball for self-defense! Also, doughnuts are a very valid options! Then again, maybe that is because I am highly allergic to nuts/peanuts, you got to eat something with nuts, and why not go for doughnuts? Right?
I just loved the illustrations, I do wonder how the book will look in real life, as with my ecopy it looks a bit weird to just have one image that, for most, only takes half of the page.
The book is split up in various parts. Like Home, Food, Money for example, with illustrations going with each topic. I didn’t have a favourite topic (I liked them all), though I have to say that the Fur Baby got realllllll close. Too much cuteness! *eyes turn to hearts*
Slothilda’s life was so much fun to see. At times I recognized things from myself or my fiancé in it. Oh, and can I say that I just adore the corgi! I love corgis!
The art was just the cutest. I was awwing at almost all of the illustrations, OK, maybe all of them, and I was wondering if it could get even more adorable (hint, yes).
All in all, a terrific-fun-adorable-cute-fluffy-slothy-lazy-can-we-go-to-sleep-already-or-eat-book, which I would recommend!

Celebrating the inner sloth in all of us!
(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through NetGalley.)
Slothilda is an everywoman: She's addicted to her phone, laptop, and the internet. She naps hard and snacks harder. She loves carbs and is an A+ procrastinator. Her beautifully curvaceous behind is a mirror image of that of her dog, Peanut. (A corgi, natch!) And, oh yeah: Slothilda is a sloth. (fwiw I think she more closely resembles a hamster, but it's all good.)
With sections on fitness, food, work, money, home, lifestyle, and fur baby, Dante Fabiero pays homage to his inner sloth, and celebrates the sloth that lives in all of us. (I have to assume, if only for my own self-esteem.) Slothilda is a heroine that's both super-adorable and relatable AF.
I mean, I wasn't exactly shocked to discover how closely my diet and work habits parallel those of a sloth, but some of the strips are weirdly specific. (Hours spent hunting for a valid online coupon code to save a measly coupla bucks, hello!)
My only complaint is this: In the ARC, the captions appear as text separate from the illustrations, giving the comics an odd and disjointed feeling. I'm sure this will be corrected in the final version.
Oh, and Peanut should totes be renamed Cheddar. That is the only acceptable name for a corgi.

A big thank you to NetGalley and to the editor. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I’ll try to write something sensible here but it’s possible that in the end, I’ll fangirl all around the place because this little sloth and her corgi are here to steal your heart away and I think I have found my spirit animal! I also think that in my previous life (and maybe in the previous one, too, and the previous previous previous one) I was a sloth. And Slothilda is one of us, girls (and boys!). She’s an adorable, fluffy, sweet and so so so cute little sloth who is trying hard to juggle adulting, keeping a healthy lifestyle, working and being an introvert. Sometimes life is really hard!
I loved the art! And how can you not, honestly? But I loved the comics, too. They are so real and fun! I smiled a lot while reading and I laughed out loud too, and that was just so refreshing! Also, it was a little bit creepy because well, I may sound paranoid here, but I think the author has some hidden cameras in my apartment because… well, Slothilda is me!! Shocking, right?
Anyway, once I started it I had to finish it right away, and okay, it’s a short book (maybe a little bit too short, because I would have liked more adventure with her, but I am greedy, I know!) but I got back to it from time to time in the last week, because it’s just something that cheers me up, and that’s so great!!!!

This review and others posted over at
my blog.
Thank you to the author for sending me this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
The adorable illustrations alone would have been enough for me to check out this book. Not only is Slothilda cute, but she’s 100% relatable!
I absolutely loved this comic collection. Slothilda delivers comedic opinions and advice on all the important topics: fitness, food, work, money, home, lifestyle, fur baby (in her case, a corgi) and gratitude.
Each comic occupies its own page and almost every page had me either laughing or smiling. I love the art style and the minimal color palette. Slothilda was really relatable for me – she wants to exercise, but would rather snack; she wants to clean, but would rather nap; she spends way too much time on her phone and watching Netflix; and loves her pet unconditionally, even when he’s a brat.
My only real complaint is that her cutie little corgi doesn’t appear in enough comics!
I will certainly be on the lookout for more Slothilda comics in the future.
Definitely check this out if:
+ You need a quick, relatable pick-me-up read

Thank you to the author for sending me this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
The adorable illustrations alone would have been enough for me to check out this book. Not only is Slothilda cute, but she’s 100% relatable!
I absolutely loved this comic collection. Slothilda delivers comedic opinions and advice on all the important topics: fitness, food, work, money, home, lifestyle, fur baby (in her case, a corgi) and gratitude.
Each comic occupies its own page and almost every page had me either laughing or smiling. I love the art style and the minimal color palette. Slothilda was really relatable for me – she wants to exercise, but would rather snack; she wants to clean, but would rather nap; she spends way too much time on her phone and watching Netflix; and loves her pet unconditionally, even when he’s a brat.
My only real complaint is that her cutie little corgi doesn’t appear in enough comics!
I will certainly be on the lookout for more Slothilda comics in the future.
Definitely check this out if:
+ You need a quick, relatable pick-me-up read
+ You like sloths
+ You enjoy napping, snacking (carbs especially), social media and/or procrastination

When I saw this book I have to say that I did want to read it based on its cover. Simply put, I think sloths are one of the most adorable animals. (Sloths, Llamas and Green Sea Turtles are obviously the best of friends. Why, you might ask? Because they are all so cute. Enough said, I think.)
Before I regale you with the benefits of loving sloths let me move onto my thoughts on "Slothilda".
Slothilda is adorable and hilariously relate-able--probably more than I would want her to be! With wonderful illustrations we meet Slothilda and are introduced to the battles she faces against her will for better health and a fuller life and her deep desire to not do laundry or use her treadmill for its intended purposes.
This is a quick read (think 10 minutes) but if you need something to quickly allow you to laugh at the minute battles you also face on a daily basis... well, here you are. This is perfect for you!
Now, I must end this so that I can continue my plotting...ahem, planing on how to convince someone to let me have a pet sloth.

First of all, thanks to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for approving my request and sending me an eARC in exchange for a honest review.
You have to know English isn’t my first language, so feel free to correct me if I make some mistakes while writing this review.
You have no idea how much I liked this graphic novel.
Slothilda is basically every one of us.
We share the firm decision to exercise and to go to the gym, except we are wiped out after one day.
We eat something delicious and calorific and we instantly regret it.
We procrastinate everything because a nap is so much attractive - we can always do it later, can't we?
We hide everything inside a closet and right on time that everything falls on us when we open it.
We let the laudry pile get taller than us.
I loved these drawings and their colors and I got a good laugh out of these comics.
I fell in love with Slothilda and her dog, Peanut - they were so adorable!
And I related so much to her - maybe even too much.
But we are allowed to be a sloth from time to time - there's always tomorrow, right?

Slothilda: Living the Sloth Life by Dante Fabiero was a quick, fun read. I first found Slothilda when I was writing a piece on introverts, and I wanted some GIFs to supplement. Slothilda came up, and I instantly feel in love. This is an expansion of those Slothilda moments. Slothilda wants to be better, but she also wants to just relax, love what she loves (Carbs! Naps! Staying Home!) This was simply a book that made me smile. It wasn't deep, but it was relatable. Every once in awhile, I like to check out one of these simple reads for a little shot of happiness. Thanks to NetGalley for providing me that opportunity via Slothilda.

Slothilda
I Picked Up This Book Because: Totally sucked in by the cute sloth on the cover
The Story:
This book Killed Me Softly. Really, it tells my whole story with its words/drawings. This is super cute and funny. It’s not often I wish I had a hard copy of a book but I definitely wish I had one of this one and a coffee table to display it on.
The Random Thoughts:
I'm so tickled that she has a dog named Peanut.
5 Stars

I read this when I should have been sleeping. It was just too cute and relatable, so I kept going. Sleep is over rated, right?
The illustrations are really cute, and complemented the books text perfectly. After reading Slothilda, I kind of think I'm living the sloth life without actually being a sloth.
I really have nothing bad to say about this book. It's great for a quick pick-me-up.

This book had me giggling through most of it. There is something absolutely delightful and cathartic about seeing the daily struggles of trying to live your best life acted out by a sloth. The struggle is real and adorable in Slothilda, and I'll definitely be re-reading this whenever the going gets tough.

Repetitive, bitty, and cliched. Rather than the comic book style I thought this would have, given its blurb and all, I was quite surprised to find a slew of random illustrations accompanied by captions which tried too hard to be funny. There is so little substance here that I’m wondering what the point of it is.

I don't think I have ever related that much to a sloth before reading this book. It was cute and fun and a quick read with lots of pages you can definitely relate to. The format and the art were quite enjoyable, I like that kind of minimalistic theme.
