I went a little literal and read Ten Cats: Annie and the Cats
, an e-book anthology of the online COMIC strip.
I finished reading Twinkle, Twinkle Little Social Media star, an adult picture book satire which made me laugh out loud so... yeah. It worked! Without this mini-challenge I would not have even looked for such a thing.
I have read Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen. And books 2 and 3 also, for that matter. :D These are amazing!
I read Calypso. No one makes me laugh more than David Sedaris. I have listened to many of his books, which really adds to the experience. I had this hardcover on my shelf and I could actually “hear” him reading it as I read it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read August by Kit Morgan. The female characters that came over from London into a small town and the adventures of them having to learn to cook, sew, etc, when they were used to having someone else do it for them made for a laugh out loud book.
I read The Satanic Nurses. It is a collection of literary parodies. I love satire so it was hilarious tome.
Such a fun book:The Guncle
But it has so much more to offer - a new addition to my all time favorite books.
