September 12th:Favorite Comedy Books
I honestly do not have any. Maybe I do not read them? Back in the day when I still loved Evanovich I used to laugh out loud to her Plum books, but that laughter got stuck in my throat after 7 books. They are not lol worthy anymore, not even giggle worthy, not even smile worthy.
I also remember laughing to Bridget Jone's Diary. Hmm, maybe chick'lit hit my comedy nerve.
I guess in the end I just do not have any favorite comedy books. And I do not read nonfic about comedians either, dunno if they would make me laugh anyway. For me to laugh it has to be amusing, and those things I found here and there in books that are not always comedy books.

First time I met Luci. And I could not say no to those demon eyes
Like you, I can't think of one specific comedy novel, however, I do like when humor is interspersed throughout, or there are quirky characters. When it comes to movies, I have quite a few faves because I enjoy laughter when I can get it. (lol) Happy Tuesday! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteI love movies where I can laugh, the more the better
DeleteNo series Blodeuedd but for LOL Beth Harbison novels do it every time
ReplyDeleteI have to take a look at those
DeleteI can't think of any off the top of my head but some chick lit does make me laugh. I'm with you on the Stephanie Plum books.
ReplyDeleteI do like chic-lit
DeleteI took part in a summer reading challenge and one of the slots I had to read was comedy. It was hard to find something and when I decided on a comedian's memoir, I thought I nailed it. Except, their story only had a couple funny parts and the rest just made me feel bad for everything they'd been through. :\
ReplyDeleteOh that is a great way of doing it! There are a few I could think of reading
DeleteI was s starting a list of funny books I read but then the hurricane came lol
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo bad at remembering books I read but the funny ones are always my favorites.
For What It's Worth
I am so bad with names
DeleteI've read a couple comedy mysteries that were pretty fun. I don't read much chic lit and I never did get into the Plum series.
ReplyDeleteAck Plum, I should just give up
DeleteI can't think of any that I've read.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI like humor added into books I read :) Do those count?
ReplyDeleteI think it should, those are the good ones
DeleteThe Charley Davidson series makes me laugh, as does Julia Quinn.
ReplyDeleteThey are good :D
DeleteOh my gosh. Baby Luci. #melts
ReplyDeleteI know, my heart!
DeleteI am sure I have not read any.
ReplyDeleteOne day then
DeleteComedy in books is hard...movies are better for that.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI used to laugh so much over the Stephanie Plum books but then the jokes got old and I was not amused.
ReplyDeleteI laughed for 20 min once, i remember it well, I just could not stop...but that was long ago
DeleteI love humor in books. I read a historical romance series by Katie MacAllister that I think was meant to be comedy, too. I laugh a lot when I read Carolyn Brown's cowboy romances. Darynda Jones' Charley Davidsons crack me up, too. I'm sure there are others, but I don't think I've read just straight comedy. Oh, I haven't read Stephanie Plum series, but just read my first Evanovich for the Night & Moon series and it was funny.
ReplyDeleteI think those are the ones I should have mentioned. Not straight comedy but comedy in them
DeleteComedy is such a tricky genre, because humor is so subjective, you know? The closest thing I can think of for myself is once in a while, I like indulging in SFF humor. But even then they can be so hit or miss.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
True. What I find funny others might not :)
DeleteAww baby Lucy's so adorable! 😍 Also, I think I'd pick Terry Pratchett for best comedy book. 😁
ReplyDeleteIsnt he :)
DeleteHave to agree with the Plum books. I stopped around 7 or 8 because nothing ever changed. I do love when a book makes me laugh though.
ReplyDeleteI am at 23 and still the same
DeleteAwww. Luci. He was so cute (not that he isn't still cute, but you know, kitten).
ReplyDeleteI don't read a ton of comedy books, but I do read a lot of romance with humor in them. Molly Harper, Eve Langlais and Shelly Laurenston/G.A. Aiken are my go-tos. There are some UF ones too like Darynda Jones and Ilona Andrews.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
Kittens are always cuter :D
DeleteSorry Luci
I cannot think of any comedy books I like. I don't read them. Most of them don't make me LOL. I read The Virgin Romance Novelist a while back and that was supposed to be hella funny. My girlfriend gave it 5 stars for funny. I thought it was okay. I found the humor kind of crass and gross, just not my thing. Like you I read the Plum books but gave up. Got fed up of the neverending love triangle.
ReplyDeletein movies I can do crass, in books..well I do not know
DeleteOMG YAS, it never ends
OMG.... little Lucifer. LOVE HIM!!! While I don't consider them comedies: anything by Molly Harper makes me laugh. And of course the Charley Davidson series has a lot of humor.
ReplyDeleteLook at those demon eyes! *melts*
DeleteTOOOOOOOO LONG
