Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, is a hilarious, but also very serious memoir of Jenny’s life – told in a very amusing way. I found this because I follow Jenny’s blog, and I just genuinely think she’s possibly the funniest person alive. (This is a link to my fave blog post!)

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is an absolute MUST for this list. I love it, I’ve loved it since I was 16, and I will likely continue to love it for the remainder of my life. In case you’ve missed it, Nicole from The Bookworm Drinketh is hosting a readalong of all 41 books (we’ll be doing it for YEARS, trust me) and my first two reviews are up (The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic). I’m also REALLY excited for Equal Rites this month!!

TIIAP

Anything and everything by David Thorne. That’s not an actual book, I know, so let’s start with his first one: The Internet is a Playground. Now, if you don’t know who David Thorne is, perhaps cast yourself back to an incident that did the rounds on the net a few years ago… there was a man who tried to pay a phone bill (it might have been an electricity bill) with a drawing of a spider. THAT is David Thorne. (Click through for that blog post.)

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli is sweet, poignant AND funny. I know I use this book a lot for prompts, but I just genuinely love it that much!

Royals

Royals by Rachel Hawkins had some very funny moments, definitely Laugh Out Loud worthy. I’m not sure if it is top 5 material, but it is definitely one of the funniest books I have read this year.

So there you have it, five VERY funny books! Until next time, happy reading ☺️?
