The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth and Other Curiosities of the History of Medicine 

By: Thomas Morris


If you’re a fan of medical oddities or the Mütter Museum in Philly, this is the book for you. Morbid topics but Morris, a medical historian (not a doctor) writes in an engaging and amusing way. He translate medical speak into layman’s terms and injects not a little bit of humor into these descriptions. An enjoyable read if you’re not afraid of reading about such things as the boy who inhaled the larynx of a goose into his own throat. (Humor, Popular Science)

The Bad Guys 

By: Aaron Blabey


The first in a series featuring classically feared anthropomorphic beasts as would-be protagonists. Unabashedly silly and fun.😈 (Humor, Fiction, Graphic Novel)

I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual 

By: Luvvie Ajayi


I really wanted to like this book. I was looking forward to reading it, but it was difficult to get through. There was only one "part" of any substance, but it wasn't new thoughts regarding culture. I don't have a big internet footprint, so maybe it was just completely unreliable. I struggled to get through it and felt relieved when I was done. (Humor, Parody)

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving Our Cats: Heartwarming and Humorous Stories about our Feline Family Members

By: Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen


Mostly a fun read. Short stories about our brat cats. Some are sad because we miss them, but still nice. We have lovely memories. (Humor, Animal, Nature)
