Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. Here is the topic of the week:
😄 Books With Good Humor 😄
Another "freebie" topic this week made me think about all the books in various genres that actually made me laugh/giggle 😂 These are not "comedy" books, they all have wildly different topics and genres, but they share the fact that their characters have amazing one-liners, hilarious narrators, ridiculous situations etc.
I think, if done right, humor can add so much life to the story. On the other hand, some authors tend to go too far, and it turns cringeworthy.
💬 Do you like humor in books? 💬

I am very curious about The Martian. I loved Project Hail Mary and there were some fun moments and funny banter, but isn't the MC in The Martian alone? Tbh I don't know anything about it--I like going in blind into books these days. Lol. But I'm curious in what way it will be funny. I'm really looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThat's actually a great question - he is all alone, but he copes with that fact and other difficult situations with sass. Basically, we're constantly in his head and he keeps making hillarious snarky remarks, sort of like Murderbot 😂
