LET’S FIND A FEW OF THE MORE HILARIOUS BOOK TITLES I OWN
When it comes to reading, sometimes we look for that right balance of serious (because there are issues that need to be treated so) and funny. Rarely am I ever in the mood for straight silly because I like that balance of relatable and yet humorous. However sometimes, even if the book isn’t solely that, there are hilarious and funny book titles that go make us giggle. As a way of giving them a little shout out, today that is our workable subject.
LIST | A FEW FAVORITE TV SHOW SISTERS FROM PRESENT TO PAST
Like usual my task is to always look at the books that are already on my shelf rather than go outside of this. That said, honestly, I’m not all that sure that I own many funny book titles. But we’ll see and hope for the best. Let’s take a look.
FUNNY BOOK TITLES
PRIDE, PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, JANE AUSTEN + SETH GRAHAME-SMITH
I mean, this is kind of a given. The idea of pairing Jane Austen with zombies? Just way too funny. Goodreads
PRETTY IN PUNXSUTAWNEY, LAURIE BOYLE CROMPTON
This one is super cute and follows a girl reliving her life in a kind of Groundhog Day type premise. Goodreads
DRESSED FOR DEATH, JULIANNA DEERING
Honestly, this series is REALLY good. Especially if you like British TV shows like Grantchester (a little lighter in these books) or something like ITV’s Marple. That said, I have to admit, a title like this does kind of make you go, wait, what!? Goodreads

PRIDE, PREJUDICE AND CHEESE GRITS, MARY ANNE HATHAWAY
Kind of cheating adding a book with essentially the same rule as one of the earlier titles on this list but pairing a Jane Austen title with an unusual thing (this time because the book is set in the south) is always a fun laugh. Goodreads funny book titles
YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER, SARAH HOGLE
I mean this one also may not be outright funny, but I just don’t think I have that many outrageous book titles on my shelf. Regardless, it’s kind of fun, nonetheless and maybe is funnier if you read the novel. Goodreads
A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, HOLLY JACKSON
If you just see this title and don’t know anything about it, it can read kind of funny. Of course, the plot is about a group of teens trying to solve murder so the title in that way makes sense. Goodreads
THE UNHONEYMOONERS, CHRISTINA LAUREN
Not all that humorous of a title, but it is cute although I, sadly, didn’t love the story inside. Goodreads
THE BACHELOR GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, RACHEL MCMILLAN
Despite the title that seems to be a little funny, these mysteries are actually super fun! There are three novels and then some novella stories that act as kind of the “in between” of the novels. Fun characters, too! Goodreads
SUNNY SONG WILL NEVER BE FAMOUS, SUZANNE PARK
Not sure how this book reads (more serious or funny), but the title is cute if nothing else. Goodreads
FINDING MR. BETTER THAN YOU, SHERI PETROFF
Read this one quite a while ago, and honestly, it wasn’t what I was expecting. But then the title is also cute and funny in its own way. Goodreads
Have you read any of these? Would you? Which books have the funniest titles you’ve seen? What kind of “funny” novel do you prefer? Let’s meet up and chat in the comments!
Thanks, as always, for being here. I’m grateful you took the time. Going to try and visit your web spaces sooner rather than later, but if I fail (and I do!), just know I’m glad you stopped by. Thank you.
Thank you for visiting; please come back soon!
Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl August 9: Hilarious Book Titles
I like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. And always nice to see Julianna Deering show up :)
YES! Always enjoyed Julianna’s books. Thanks for the visit, Greg.
The titles all sounded like they are sarcastic. Ha! I tweaked my TTT list this week
Sometimes sarcasm is called for. :) Thanks for visiting, Anne.
Finding Mr. Better than you sounds hilarious! I’ve always enjoyed the title for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, but I haven’t read it yet.
Great list you have today!
Happy TTT

I like Holly’s book title too. Just seemed a little fitting for today because it’s like a “how to” guide only it’d be one I’d never expect to find on a bookshelf! :) As always thanks for visiting, Mareli.
My husband read Pride Prejudice and Zombies when it came out and enjoyed it. He said it was a ridiculous idea that worked.

For sure ridiculous, but he’s right. It does work. Surprisingly, lots of it is Austen’s own language and writing too (or that was my understanding) which is cool. :) Thanks for visiting, Pam!
Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous sounds amusing!
Right? I agree. So fun. :) Thanks for visiting, Lydia.
You Deserve Each Other is such a great title and perfect for the story!
For. Sure. Not quite as funny if someone hasn’t read it, but it WORKS. :) Thanks so much for visiting, Angela. Appreciate this.
I definitely thought A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder was going to be more about how to commit murders than solve them when I first saw the title. Great book though!
I love a good mystery so I’m all kinds of curious about Holly’s book. Glad it’s good – and thanks for stopping by, Jo. :)
Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits sounds fun! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
If you read it, I hope you enjoy! All the Southern feels but make it Jane Austen. :) Thanks for visiting.
A great list! So many books I want to read!
Have a great week!

Fun! Hope if you read some of them you enjoy, Emily – and as always, thank you for visiting.
Great list. These titles are indeed funny, especially Finding Mr Better than you 😂
Have a great week☀️
Right? That one made me giggle. :) Thanks for visiting, Rae.
These made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!
Thanks for reading, Cindy!
OH my… this made me realize I still haven’t read Sunny Song despite being really excited for it way back when. xD I included your post in mine this week, I hope you don’t mind!
Aw, thanks, Jennifer! That’s super kind of you. Off to read your post, too! :)
love these titles!
Thanks! :)
