Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Humorous Book Titles

Click here to read everyone else’s replies to this week’s question and here to see the full list of topics for the year.

I’ve blogged about humorous book titles several times before, so today I’m going to share some titles that are both humorous and a little quirky. While I haven’t read any of them yet, quirky can be a good thing!

Two women laughing while reading books. One has a book on top of her head. This is one of those topics I could talk about forever! Isn’t it wonderful to chuckle when you read the title of a book?

I like to collect hilarious book titles as I search for new books to read.

There are some quite clever ones out there. The more you find, the easier it is to discover even more of them in my experience.

Here are just a few of the ones I’ve discovered. Yes, I’m sure a couple of them are probably repeats from previous TTT topics, but why not giggle at them again?

The only one I’ve read so far is How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming. It was an informative, interesting, and sometimes funny read.
