  1. I like, You're Never Weird on the Internet (almost). LOL! My own favourite funny title is The Quiche of Death by M.C. Beaton. :-)

  10. Those are great! I need to check out the birdwatcher book. We put a bird feeder in our backyard and I love seeing all the birds but I have no idea about the different kinds so I need to learn!

    1. Birding is addictive. Once you buy your first bird identification book you're totally hooked. :)

  13. Dating Big Bird is a funny title but well worth reading! She went to my high school, although I didn't know her then.

    1. I really liked Dating Big Bird! That's cool that you went to the same high school as Zigman. :)

  14. How to Be a Bad Birdwatcher? Sounds like my attempts at birdwatching, lol, but I don't think that would make someone want to read it. Dating Big Bird? Another a head scratcher.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Such great titles! They certainly caught my attention! Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was written in 1968 and is a classic, but I've still not read it.

    1. It's one of the few Philip K. Dick books that I've read, and I actually quite liked it. :)

      Delete
  16. Bad Birdwatcher and Androids Dream are both fabulous books. Not so Nerd in Shining Armor.

    Just my two cents.

    1. I didn't like Nerd in Shining Armor much either. It had potential, but failed in the actual attempt. But the title is still funny. :)

      Delete
  17. How To Be A Bad Bird Watcher and My Life AS A Potato are hilarious titles for books.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Just seeing the title, "How Nancy Drew Saved my Life," makes me want to read it! They are all great titles.

    1. That title made me want to read that book, too. :)

    1. It's a great book! Felicia Day is very funny. :)

  20. I know we shouldn't judge a book by the cover, but maybe we can get away with judging by the title? I'd definitely want to know more about these haha

  21. This is the only apocalypse I want. "Scooby Apocalypse"

  22. Those are pretty great! I expected a bunch of made-up titles...but this is even better.

    1. I'm not clever enough to come up with my own funny book titles. ;D

  23. For the life of me, I couldn't think of a single funny book title. So I admire everyone who could think of 10! The Birdwatcher one looks really cute, but I am also wondering how did Nancy Drew save the narrato's life! ~ Lex

    1. It's a more serious chic lit book about life for a single girl. And I really liked it. :)

  25. I skipped this one since I couldn't think of anything, although MY LIFE AS A POTATO did come to mind later. It is a funny one!
