I read Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein for this prompt, which was a cute little summer story about two half-sisters who finally meet as they grapple with their father's death. Definitely a good summer beach read!
I read “Cat Trick” by Sofie Kelly. It is a play on Hat Trick, but she used the word Cat because the series revolves around cats.

Dead and Breakfast fantastic mystery book about a new beginnings of a new inn The Merry Weather Ghost, a beginning of the series, a beginning of the prompts #1 Pun in the title.
If you think a book fits the prompt, it DOES! They said to interpret creatively, so don't stress - have fun! :)
The internet is saying Remarkably Bright Creatures because it’s bright smart and bright as in the light they brought to each other’s lives…so I’m going for it!
I read Hitch 22: A Memoir Christopher Hitchens Maybe not a pure pun but it is a play on the words Catch-22
I read The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, where Earnest is the name of the protagonist and the theme of being honest.4/5
I am having such a hard time with this prompt. Mainly because I'm not good with puns. LOL. Puns equals humor and humor is not my strong suit.

Or try something like crime And PUNisment (capitalized a pun).
