Playing catch up...
I am posting one book (or two) from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

This.
so-soI picked this up at a garage sale years ago because I liked Jon Stewart back in his Daily Show days (which he is back).
It is a collection of 19 satirical essays about the Kennedys, Hitler, Hanson, The Last Supper, Bill Gates and more. I read a couple during breaks at work. It was good enough to entertain me for my breaks, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this book.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickReading Just Another Day at Your Local Public Library by Roz Warren just made me want to read more by this humorist author! Our bodies, our shelves, has some repeated stories from Just Another Day but many of them are original to this book, and we do get a little bit more insight into the author and her day as a librarian. A "just for fun" read that is guaranteed to make you smile if not laugh out loud...
pickIf you love books, libraries, & a good sense of humor, then this is a must read book! This was our 2024 kick off book for book club; a year of reading books about books... Straight from the librarians mouth, this is a collection of humorous responses to frequent Library occurrences and questions. A compilation from both the authors library, & librarians across the country. From puzzling, to funny, to cringe worthy, such a fun read!
For me, the year cannot truly end without Dave Barry's Year in Review. IMHO, his satire is, as always, spot-on.
If interested, here's a link to read it for free:

panThis book was a gift in a swap group this summer. From what I understand it is supposed to be funny but I have a fairly non-existent sense of humor. Is this funny? As described; a bunch of Weight Watcher's recipe cards from the 70s with the authors commentary. No recipes of course. I do rather want the lime sherbert recipe... it sounds good but is blue? Anyway most have the most stereotypical bad 70s color scheme which is odd for food.
