What's a book you know isn't good... but you love it anyway? ๐ฅฐ We all have read books that maybe aren't that well written... don't have good characters... have silly plots... but for some reason, we love them anyway! Now, I'm not saying that all the books in this photo aren't good... but I can recognize that on some level, intellectually, that maybe Fifty Shades of Grey isn't a literary classic. But I still enjoyed the heck out of it when I read it. ๐ Sometimes, a book gets you through a tough time... speaks to you on a personal level... or just brings you joy. So what's an unpopular book that you love? Or a book you recognize isn't "good" but you still love it anyway. Let me know in the comments below ๐ค
How much humor do you like in your books? Do you like humor as the foundation? Like Christopher Moore does with his books "Bite Me" and "You Suck"? Do you like characters that are are funny? Like Alexia and Lord Akeldama in "Blameless"... Gail Carriger's steampunk romp. Or maybe it's the setting that's funny... like the fictional towns in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books or Jacqueline Carey's Agent of Hel series. Roscoe and I like books that are well rounded, which means humor is preferably included. We love supernatural stories with a humorous edge. It makes for a really fun reading experience. How much humor do you like in your books? Share your thoughts with Roscoe below ๐ค
Double tap to say Happy Friday to Jack-Jack๐ค Jack-Jack has finally recovered from me being gone for a few days and is ready for photos and treats again! Although I still feel like he's telling me "Bite Me" with his eyes๐ If you're not familiar with Christopher Moore, he is an amazing author that writes super funny, and often absurd books. They are always a good time, and they always make me laugh. Bite Me was one of the first Moore books I ever read, and he continues to be one of my favorites. Bite Me is the perfect book to sink your teeth into on a Friday afternoon ๐ Jack-Jack says "Happy Friday" to you!!!๐ค
STAFF PICK SUNDAY: Adriana from Studio 300 recommends โBite Me: A Love Storyโ by Christopher Moore because โIt is not your average love storyโthere is action and drama as well as supernatural beings. What made this such a fun read is all the humor, I found myself laughing often and even years after reading this novel, I will oftentimes quote the funny one liners.โ ๐งโโ๏ธ Check it out in English or Spanish from our catalog today! #StaffPickSunday #staffpicks #readersadvisory #recommendation #bookrecommendation #fountaindalelib #bolingbrook #biteme #bitemealovestory #christophermoore #darkcomedy
Bite Me: A Love Story There's not enough time to describe how much I love Christopher Moore books ๐๐โค For the third installment of the San Francisco Vampire series, Moore gives us giant vampire cats, katana wielding elderly Japanese artists, and a sleek, black vampire controlled yacht called the Raven. Hilarity ensues ๐๐ #christophermoorebooks #bitemealovestory #rorylovesbooks #rorysbooktoriumextraorium #bookstagram #booklover #readabook #bookaddict #vampirebooks #sanfransiscovampires

Day 9 - Trilogy #celineandfarahapril16 First of all, thank you to @abi.s_cupboard for the #randominstagramprop tag ๐! Meet OM the frog (OM like the meditation chant). He's happy to be included. To the trilogy, since I was doing something random anyways, I chose a non traditional trilogy. If you haven't read anything from Christopher Moore then I encourage you to read these absurdly funny books. I mean, how can you not want to read a book called You Suck: A Love Story? If I tagged you, and you want to do it, use the random Instagram prop tag in one of your bookstagram pics! #bloodsuckingfiends #yousuckalovestory #biteme #bitemealovestory #christophermoore #frogstatue #goldfrog #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeature #bookishfeatures #igbooks #igreads #vampires #funnybooks #booknerd #booklove #bookish #bookie #digthatchantingthing
I love Christopher Moore books! They're amazing and they're so hilarious and filled with the most quirky yet relatable characters. I was so excited to hear that there will be a sequel to A Dirty Job called Secondhand Souls that will come out next Tuesday on the 25th. I loved that book and I can't wait to dive back into his crazy world! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #christophermoore #adirtyjob #practicaldemonkeeping #coyoteblue #bloodsuckingfiends #yousuckalovestory #bitemealovestory #secondhandsouls #books #bookworm #booklion #booknerd #bibliophile #booknerdigans #vscobooks #vscoreads #instabook #instaread #bookstagram
