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.

  1. 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.

  2. Ooh nice picks! These are punny titles! I might have to do a punny titles pick one of these freebie days! Lol.
