Happy Tuesday, y’all! And Happy April Fool’s Day! In honor of the day, Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to share books you’d be a fool not to read. In my opinion, the only book you’d be a fool not to read is the one you don’t pick up. Recently, I’ve noticed a trend in giving books titles with puns. So in honor of that, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite tongue-in-cheek book titles.
I love how authors, and publishers, play with words when naming books. Let’s face it, a book with a quirky title is more likely to grab our attention. All titles will lead to Goodreads.
Now let’s check out these tongue-in-cheek book titles.

Loving all of these, and the one with Prince intrigues! Punny titles are among my favorite… My post is here – https://www.ladyinreadwrites.com/a-is-for-alliteration-and-amazing-animals/
Hah! These are all fun. I spotlit some ‘funny’ books.
These are such cute titles!
Would absolutely love to read some of not most of these! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Some of these titles are SO fun. I tend to be drawn in by book covers or the author penning a novel, but sometimes it’s fun to look at titles too – because they also draw a reader in! 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today.
I haven’t read any of these yet, but I do love a good fun book title!
I do love a good punny book title and these are all fun!
Funniest to me: I Woke Up Dead at the Mall! These are all so silly. Good post idea. I will steal it sometime.
Love the titles of all of these. Prusa’s and Sheehan’s books need to go on my wish list. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog today.
They are all excellent titles. I think a quirky title like that does grab your attention.
Have a great week!
Those are such cute titles. I especially love Witch, Please. LOL. Happy Tuesday, Pam!
These titles are fantastic!
These are great! I love Tasha Hibbert! I think I have Love At First Spite on my kindle.
Ooh nice picks! These are punny titles! I might have to do a punny titles pick one of these freebie days! Lol.
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
I Woke Up Dead at the Mall by Judy Sheehan is a title that grabbed my attention!!
These are great titles!
These are super cute! I love punny titles!
I love clever and funny book titles. These are great! Thanks for sharing!
What a great topic! Such fun titles!
I love tonque in cheek titles. They always make any book sound more appealing.
Those are some fun titles (and covers), for sure!
Just reading these titles makes me happy!
I love all the sass in these titles. I think Love at First Spite might be my favorite title here. I’ve never read it, but the title pulls me in.
I love the direction you went with these, and yes, those are excellent book titles! I love them!

This was such a great topic!! I love these titles.
I love punny titles! At least they’re memorable. 🙂
Those are some really great titles! I enjoy punny titles, and have read more than a couple of books off your list. Seeing punny titles popping up more in romance makes me so happy.
