Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week is all about those books that make you laugh out loud as you read! I actually feel like my list should be longer but these are the ones I came up with.
The ENTIRE Off Campus series, really. The banter, the wit, the hilarious dialogue — I love it. I have literally shook with laughter reading these books and it’s amazing. The humor is just so spot on and perfect!
2. The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer
I absolutely loved the funny banter between Cinder and Thorne and Iko ALWAYS made me laugh with basically everything she said. I listened to the whole series on audio and I vividly remember cracking up in the car while I listened — there are so many funny, perfect lines in this series that are laugh out loud!
3. The Reckoners series Brandon Sanderson
So, our main character David likes metaphors but he’s not particularly good at them. And it makes for some pretty hilarious results that had me chuckling quite a bit!
4. Red Rising series by Pierce Brown
I see you all side eyeing me. “Doesn’t this series have a lot of violence, Wendy?” “Isn’t there death and dying and heartbreak and didn’t you say you cried?” Okay, yes, but the brilliant part is, amongst ALL the terrible things and the dark gritty stuff that happens, there are these amazing moments of humor and I loved it. Laugh out loud moments between favorite characters and that humor is just so fantastic.
5. Scoring Wilder by R.S. Grey
You guys, this book. The laugh out loud humor was my FAVORITE! I was laughing so so hard and could not stop. It was amazing. I remember texting Betty nonstop with favorite lines the entire time!
AHHH I LOVE RED RISING! I have so many Red Rising feels right now though, because I just finished the final book. :’) I should re-read the first though, because I’d forgotten about the banter! OH OH and Cinder + Thorne = the best dialogue in the history of ever. I was constantly laughing! AND IKO. Adorable Iko. xD Also David’s metaphors are absolutely horrendous…and I love them. 😛
Here’s my TTT!
I second Cait!! Red Rising!!!!!!!!!!! Sevro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 That was one of my favorite things about the series. The humor amidst all the death and despair. Lol. And the Lunar Chronicles!! I freaking love the banter between Cinder and Kai and Iko cracks me up so much.
Iko definitely made me laugh. I think she’s my favorite character in that series actually. I didn’t realize that Red Rising had funny parts to it!! That’s interesting to know!
I have Cinder on my list too this week! Iko is hilarious and the Thorne’s sass is gold 😀 I LOVE that you included Steelheart, that one was funny but I never thought to add it! I still need to read Red Rising but I WILL do so soon!
Now I have even more of of read to read The Deal. banter and giggles are soooo up my alley!
I’ve only read the first Lunar Chronicles book, but Iko did make me laugh a lot!

I love this weeks topic, I am such a fan of books that can make me laugh. I picked Red Rising too, Sevro makes me laugh far too much. You’ve got some great picks this weeks, and I am definitely going to add a few of these to my own TBR. Thanks for the recommendations! 🙂 You can check out my picks here.
This week’s topic is so hard I ran a mile, haha. I barely ever laugh out loud reading a book, I am obviously a stoic and dead-hearted woman. I have to agree that Sevro makes me smile, though :D! His antics with the wolves’ pelt alone is A+ entertainment. David of Steelheart is also the sweetest – especially because I usually find that Sanderson’s actual intended jokes fall flat as well (see Shallan of Stormlight Archives), bless that man.
THE DEAL!! Yes, sooooo funny! And I love so many of Iko’s lines in TLC too 🙂 I didn’t love Scoring Wilder unfortunately but I have to admit what I read was pretty amusing.
