Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s list are our top ten books that will make you laugh or at least chuckle! I don’t often laugh out loud at books, so I decided to go for light and fun reads which will probably raise a smile! Here are the books that I have picked!
(Book images go to Goodreads)
The Undomestic Goddess- Sophie Kinsella
Sophie Kinsella’s writing can always make me smile. Mostly because some of what her characters get up to is utterly ridiculous. Sophie’s books are great for something light and fun. They don’t take too much concentration yet they’re interesting enough to capture your attention.
Adorkable- Sarra Manning
I enjoyed this book. It’s light, fun and easy to read. It was another one that made me smile!
Going Vintage- Lindsey Leavitt
This is another great light read. It’s got some fantastic characters and a relatable plot. It’s about young people reliant on modern technology!
Geek Girl- Holly Smale
Geek Girl is such a great series. I think it’s very feel good. As the series progresses it’s definitely developing much more depth. I love how it embraces geekiness!
A Sudden Crush- Camilla Ilsey
This book is perfect for fans of women’s fiction (okay chick-lit!) It’s so easy to read.
The Fill In Boyfriend- Kasie West
If you’re looking for a light, fluffy, contemporary read then Kasie West is a perfect choice.
Since You’ve Been Gone- Morgan Matson
This book has its sad moments, but mainly it just made me feel warm and fluzzy. We all want that!
The Break Up Artist- Philip Siegel
I adored this book. I wasn’t expecting to. To be honest, I thought it would be super cheesy, but it wasn’t! It’s light and fun to read.
The Boy In The Dress- David Walliams
I was pleasantly surprised by this book, which I recently read for part of the kid-lit challenge that I do with my sister Beth. The comparisons to Roald Dahl are utterly justified in my opinion. This book warmed my heart and made me smile!
Born Weird- Andrew Kaufman
This is SUCH a strange book, but well worth exploring. It’s better not knowing a lot about it before you read it.
I confess I have not read a single book on your list which means, of course, I have lots of books to explore. My TTT
Looking around, I haven’t read many of the books on lists this week! Eek.
I’ve never heard of any of these books before. I’ll make sure to check them out, since I had a hard time coming up with my own list.
This list was particularly tricky!
I’ve been adding Kasie West books to my wishlist since I started following TTT…she sounds like my kind of author!
My TTT.
She’s fantastic for something light and fun!
Nice list! I’ve not actually read any of these, but I would like to read The Fill-In Boyfriend and Since You’ve Been Gone at some point.
My TTT
Both fabulous contemporary books!
I have only read the Kinsella book and once I saw it on your list, I thought I should have had it on mine too. I have read a couple of books by the author and they are fun, light and easy reads. Geek Girl is on a number of lists. I definitely should check that out. Great list.
Here is my TTT of today:https://dwgitau.wordpress.com/2016/04/19/top-ten-tuesday-ten-books-that-will-not-make-you-cry/
Thank you. Geek Girl is great for a few giggles!
I haven’t read any of these books, but sounds like a cute bunch. The Boy in the Dress sounds interesting.
It is a fantastic book!
We have one in common: The Undomestic Goddess.❤
Here’s mine:
Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books That Will Make You Laugh – http://wp.me/p7ksIu-3O
That book is fabulous!
Oh I absolutely loved The Undomestic Goddess when I read it! It’s been so long, and I still remember smiling my way through it. Maybe I should re-read it soon. Great choices 😀
Thanks Jolien! I loved that book. 🙂
Going vintage sounds SO good, I really want to add that one to my TBR. And Kasie West as well, 🙂 I LOVED Since You’ve Been Gone ❤
Both fantastic authors! I say go for it 🙂
I loved The Fill In Boyfriend. Great list!!! Thanks for stopping by.
😀 Thank you. Same to you!
I have read none of these books, but I do have quite a few of them on my TBR! Kasie West is always a great choice
Yes, I think she’s a brilliant writer.
I’ve seen Since You’ve Been Gone on a couple list today. It’s one of those books that I own but have yet to pick up. Maybe that needs to happen soon. Great list 🙂
My TTT
I’d highly recommend it for Spring/Summer!
Love Sophie Kinsella and The Fill-in Boyfriend and Since You’ve Been Gone. I’ve been meaning to read Adorkable! Glad to know it’s funny!
It certainly has its moments!
I’ve not even heard of any of the books on your list! Time to start writing down some titles. The covers of some of those are adorable.
Here’s mine: http://sittinginthestacks.net/2016/04/10-books-make-laugh/
Thanks Ashley. They are great fun!
Adorkable looks so freaking cute!! Also yes to Sophie Kinsella!! I love her books… I haven’t read The Undomestic Goddess, but I know if it’s written by her, I am sure to LOL 🙂
Definitely! I love Sophie Kinsella’s writing.
Adorkable and Geek Girl have been on my TBR list. I need to get around to reading them!
You have some other fun looking ones on your list as well.:)
Thanks Amanda! I thoroughly enjoyed these books.
I haven’t read any of these, but The Fill In Boyfriend seems interesting!
Here are my Top Ten!
It’s a cute read!
Since You’ve Been Gone definitely made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s just such a fun loving summer adventure and I enjoyed every bit of it. I’ve not read the other books on the list but I’ll be sure to keep my eye on them. 😀
It really is a wonderful Spring/Summer read. 🙂
Three cheers for Sophie Kinsella, Kasie West and “Geek Girl” recommendations! Cannot wait to read the latter two especially, and I do love the film “Shopaholic” (because it’s so cute), so perhaps someday I’ll read a novel by Sophie too! 🙂
I believe that the Shopaholic books are even better than the film! 🙂
These are perfect light and fun reads. I almost put The Fill-In Boyfriend on my list, I’m really looking forward to picking up her other books. Great list, Chrissi!
Thank you. I agree, Kasie West is a brilliant writer! 🙂
I love Sofia Kinsella. Her books always make me laugh! Here’s my TTT. 🙂
She is a fantastic writer.
I really do need to read books by Kinsella and West some day soon! My TTT
They’re well worth reading!
I love Geek Girl – I really need to continue the series. 🙂
Check out my TTT.
I think it’s a wonderful series!
I just checked a few of the books you featured. Going Vintage sounds really good and I love the cover. I still haven’t read Geek Girl so may 2016 is the year!
😀 Fingers crossed!
I haven’t read any of these! *hangs head in shame* Have been meaning to read Geek Girl for quite a while now though. I saw The Boy In The Dress on TV and loved it, still need to read this book too! Lots for the TBR today! 🙂
I love Sophie Kinsella! I can’t believe I didn’t put one of her books on my list! Aagh! What was I thinking? I think my favorite by her was Can You Keep A Secret. Undomestic Goddess comes in close seond though. Thanks for visiting my TTT! Happy reading!
She is a great writer in the genre! I really liked Can You Keep A Secret too! 🙂
I’ve only heard of a few on your list – but I do have A Sudden Crush! 🙂
Yay! It’s a cute one!
