The Right Swipe tickled me so much.
Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure made me chuckle and cheer on the heroines.
I loved Say No to the Duke by Eloisa James. It was funny and flawless.
The Overdue Life of Amy Byer – as a (retired)librarian I related, especially the part of “rumspriga” for moms (“MOMSPRIGA”). definitely LOL funny.
Where’d you go Bernadette made me laugh out loud when the feuding neighbors caused a landslide.
Dance All Night (Alexis Daria) — the latest entry in the delightful Dance Off series!
Tessa Dare’s books made me laugh this year.
This year, I read several delightful books that made me smile during certain parts. The Flatshare, The Austen Playbook, and The Widow of Rose House.
I loved Jenn McKinlay’s The Good Ones
Such an awesome tribute to the Romance genre/ writers and bookstores!!!
oooh. This is one of those years that I feel like I didn’t get a lot of funny books in. But I definitely laughed at my (re)read of “Sideways Stories from Wayside School” with my eldest.
Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrews. Action and funny together forever.
Red, White, and Royal Blue made me smile because I loved the characters, and made me laugh at the irony. Fantastic read!
Get a life, Chloe Brown 🙂
When We Were Magic. Witch YA that starts out with an exploding (literally) penis.
The Flatshare, as many others would agree.
And A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy
The Flatshare, as many others would agree.
And A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy
Enjoy this season of light!
One book that made me laugh this year, though it also had a goodly amount of gore, was Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch.
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston made me smile so much! The more I think back on my reading year that one keeps coming up to the top of my list.
I loved Brazen and the Beast!
Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure by Courtney Milan!
So many great books this year! The most recent one that made me laugh was Faker by Sarah Smith.
Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston
Not a romance but it made me laugh out loud – Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher.
Cat Sebastian’s Unmasked by the Marquess. Also The Magnolia Sword (Sherry Thomas’s Mulan retelling)– LOVED it, ahhhh!
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren was a fun read this year! I definitely laughed out loud a couple times reading it. A perfect beach read!
A recent favorite was Covent Garden in the Snow by Jules Wake — the perfect feel good, seasonal read!
Save of the Game by Avon Gale
One Giant Leap by Kay Simone, the m/m astronaut romance I didn’t know I was missing until I listened to it on audiobook narrated by the excellent Greg Tremblay.
Anything by Janet Chapman!! (definitely will miss her stories!)
Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu was the book that made me laugh the most this year. It’s a delightful graphic novel about a former figure skater turned hockey player who is attending a prestigious school on a hockey scholarship, and I can’t recommend it enough.
I feel deep in love with Alyssa Cole contemporaries this year.
Well Met brought me such joy! Romance at a Renaissancce Faire? Sign! Me! Up!
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I loved all the characters, even the minor ones, and found the book to be very relatable.
Cary Elwes, As You Wish, had me crying. Listened to audiobook read by Elwes and a bunch of cast from the Princess Bride.
I love and re-read Act Like It by Lucy Parker (and I hardly re-read anything!)
Richard is such a grumpy, and I am a SUCKER for witty banter!
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman
The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker
Even my mother liked Evvie Drake and she usually never touches my books because she prefers mysteries.
Pucked by Helena Hunting had me laughing out loud.
Where’d You Go Bernadette
Happy Hanukkah!
