Fat chance by nick spalding about a couple that enter a dieting competition x
Furiously happy: A funny book about horrible things by Jenny Lawson!!!
Diskworld
White Girl Problems by Babe Walker
The earlier books in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
Yes!!
Just started the first one this morning! Already love it
I agree I have ready almost the whole series.
All of them are great!
Jonathan Tropper’s books are very funny
Until we collide by Charlotte Fallowfield
And the entire series so far of The St Mary’s Chronicles by Jodi Taylor
Saw someone before talk about these. What type of book are they ?
Fantasy, I guess. They are about a group of historians that can travel back in time to witness key events (ie: Helen of Troy, great fire of London) and record them. I think they are brill. They are funny, thought provoking and clever. They would have made excellent books for youngsters but there are two steamy bits which make them adult reads. But Jodi has said they are considering doing them for younger audiences 🙂
Sounds good might give it a try
One of my favourite series ever ❤️
@Bertie I really love them and was hooked from the first book ‘Just one damned thing after another.’ Only one that puzzled me was book two as I didn’t realise they were bouncing between past and present. But once I did, it was great 🙂
Sam Mortimer Would you consider them fantasy Sam? Hard to categorise them 🙂
It is isn’t it, sadly I get so into them they become real ??. Yes, sort of Dr Who fantasy … ish , superb entertaininment, but so interesting and educational also.
@Sam Exactly! 🙂
Can’t wait to read them. Love a good series!!!
Any Marian Keyes and the book why mummy drinks by Gill Sims
❤️Marian Keyes
Sue Perkins – Spectacles. Her autobiography is so funny. I found Terry Pratchett’s work to be very funny, if you’re looking for fiction
That would be a toss up between any James Herriot book or any Deric Longden book.
bridget jones diaries☺
Got to be Bridget!
I have to admit… surprisingly loved ” The Diary of a Provincial Lady’! The follow up series was amazing! Got me laughing in so many instances. ?

Fat Chance by Nick Spalding
Not one book but the early books of the Stephanie Plum series I laughed and laughed!
All of them!
I’ve laughed out loud at a lot of books but I’m not good at remembering all the titles. However, I love Urban Legends, the crazier the better, and parts of “Too Good To Be True” by Jan Harold Brunvand made me laugh.
Why Mummy Drinks by Gill Sims – literally laugh out loud and I rarely find books that make me laugh.
Carpet Diem by Justin Lee Anderson and A Man with One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell
I’ll get you that pint at Fantasycon. ?
Definitely all of Janet Evanovich’s books! I couldn’t read them in bed at night because I would wake my husband up laughing ?
Me too!
Yes!

Any of the Janet Evanovich books, grandma is a trip!
Love them!
I usually hate happy love stories but I read this one and it had me dying in tears from laughing. Real legit tears! I could not even hold my phone up to read it bc it was knee slapping funny! I’m usually read psychological thrillers so I think I just needed to give my mind a break and read this book.
Secret garden
Any Nick Spalding books. Bricking it was one of my favourites though.

That’s my next book to read, as just collected it from the library
@Caroline I haven’t read her latest but heard it’s really good.

Sandman slim novels by Richard Kadrey were freaking hilarious. Not for the faint of heart though. Also the tome of Bill has been likewise hilarious. Both have a lot of explicit language, sexual references, and ass kicking (urban fantasy, vampires, the devil, etc.)
