My library closes on Monday and moves to a few shelves in the local council building in 3 weeks time.. I am so sad already... I don't think I have ever not used a library in my entire life.

Any recommendations of books that are really going to make me laugh? I want something light hearted and funny to get my reading spark back again!
Let's Pretend This Has Never Happened by Jenny Lawson, it is just funny from the first page until the last.

I've just started Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and I'm hooked. I'm quite ignorant to TB in general so it's been a real eye opener already.

I love Green's writing style, The Anthropocene Review was also great!

I looked for this in the library yesterday, but it was checked out. Looking forward to reading it!

Ive read a few books by Meghan Quinn and always laugh when reading those! The only thing I find is for romance books they are quite long!
I’ve read the Vancouver agitator series & the cane brother series. I also read her Christmas book which a lot of people didn’t like but I actually really liked it! Thought it was fun, funny & cheesy!
 
Anyone had any joy getting Prima Facie tickets? I went online 30 mins after general sales opened at my nearest venue and the Friday and Saturday were sold out. When I tried the other dates there were no seats available there either. All sold out within an hour 😢

The same happened to me although I was a bit slower and by the time I looked they were all sold out. Hoping they extend the tour!

I would have been online at 10 but I had a meeting first thing. I even tried other venues but realised it was pointless when I saw I was number 2000 in the waiting room. I’ve just emailed my closest venue asking to be added to the returns waiting list. I really hope they extend it when they see how popular it is.

truly unsure what to make of somewhere beyond the sea (after loving house in the cerulean sea). loving see the kids and everyone again but i can’t get past how heavy handed the message is, after he did so well to show and not tell in the first book.

also having a straight up jk rowling insert as the villain is wild (does she know about this?) - right down to describing her as looking exactly like her. struggling so far and it’s making me sad.

I only dip in and out there but the trip to Lindsay Rotte was tattle gold
Take me baaaaack! 💃 You should get on there again, Mario is on a car journey and it's wonderful.

To keep on topic, I'm reading the new Neil Lancaster book and loving it! Almost halfway through already and I only started this afternoon, I'm flying through it. I rate his detective series. I think he has other books but I haven't read them.

As TWOTM is always raved about on here and it was in the BOGOF audible sale I decided to grab it. It’s over 28 hours long 😳

I've had a crappy year of reading so far, but I finished Shark Heart this morning and oh my days we're back in business! So good. I cried my eyes out, so 5 stars, I don't make the rules.

Not only did I like it, I wrote a lengthy review it seems!

I am two books down of the remaining five in the Tudor Queens series on my Kindle. Reading them in order so this week I have enjoyed Anne Boleyn, beheaded, and Jane Seymour, who gave Henry his much longed for male heir, but died two weeks after childbirth. Henry is buried beside her, so of all of them he must have liked her!

I really feel like I have been done a disservice by being born 500 years too late. I really want to go to Court and be a lady in waiting or a lady of honour.

Taking a break before Anne of Cleeves and an going to read Beneath Devils Bridge by Loreth Ann White.
