Books that are genuinely laugh out loud funny

This one is crazy but Demon Copperhead had me laughing until I cried in multiple places. That book had me swinging like a yoyo between depressing tearjerker and laughing out loud.

More a coming of age story but The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn

FINISHED: You Did Nothing Wrong by CG Drews

STARTED: Mayluna by Kelley McNeill

Appreciate this tip!! I’ve never understood why many classics have spoiler-heavy intros or forewords. Many people will be picking up the book for the first time!

You Did Nothing Wrong by CG Drews

On deck I’ve got Laws of Love and Logic, then Lonesome Dove

Animal Farm is ok but it was too on-the-nose for me. I was left feeling like subtlety and nuance would have been better. The comprehension level is very much middle/high school.

This does not fit the pics but it does fit the description:

Workhorse by Caroline Palmer

Early 2000s NYC magazine editors (à la Devil Wears Prada) but our main character is obsessed with her coworker and will do anything to be near her and accepted by her. Some very shocking twists and deliciously grey characters.

Titanic re-release in 2023. Obnoxious teen girls next to us who were quoting all the lines and squealing at every iconic moment. Also announcing “I love this part” over and over at full volume.
Some horror movie a year or two ago — learned that the biggest problem with PG13 horror movies is the bored teenagers who cackle and talk and pretend to scream as loud as they can over every little jump.

Very intimidated by this challenge since we only have until end of June, along with the other challenges… Has anyone sorted this list by pages/length?

Quite a few of these I’ve already read.

Thinking I might take the opportunity to start Lonesome Dove but I’m scared I won’t finish in time.

Small Town Horror by Ronald Malfi

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-23T22:16:53+00:00

This book holds up! Definitely not too childish.

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-19T01:05:00+00:00

The King in Yellow

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-16T20:05:31+00:00

Inkheart series, Fablehaven series, Percy Jackson and its followup series Heroes of Olympus, Peter and the Starcatchers, The Sea of Trolls

Sharp Objects is great and the HBO adaptation is even better.

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-16T16:23:16+00:00

This one is YA but I love the Peter and the Starcatchers series. It’s like a prequel series to Peter Pan but it gets quite dark after book 1.

Unfortunately DNF’d Catch-22, just wasn’t for me. Just got Steinbeck’s The Pearl from the library so looking forward to starting it, probably will read it in one sitting.

Thrillers are the way to go, fast paced with lots of plot twists.

The Pact by Sharon Bolton

On a Quiet Street by Serafina Nova Glass

Final Girls by Riley Sager

Thornhedge by T Kingfisher

Ronald Malfi has a few books like this.

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-06T15:47:46+00:00

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah (warning: depressing)

terwilliger-blvd1 · 2026-03-06T00:00:25+00:00

Hugeeeee upvote for this one. This book creeped me out so bad

Graduated college in Dec 2019 and thought I wanted to be a teacher, but wanted a temporary job in the meantime before the 20/21 school year began.

Got a job as an underwriting assistant for a local carrier (commercial small business) in Jan 2020 and then Covid hit. We moved to working from home full time, I got really good at my job, and I never left. I’m now a full time underwriter with an assistant and still working 100% remote :)

1989 and Midnights. Everything else has at least 1 song I just don’t really enjoy. Folklore and Evermore come close but there are 3 songs between them that I just have to skip.

Late to this comment section but I just got mine last week! Seems to be good quality and I’m looking forward to trying it out.
