Okay, so I wanted to get into some funny mystery books this year, yeah? Like, I wanted something light but still with a good puzzle. 2023 seemed like a good year for it, lots of buzz, you know?
First, I googled “funny mystery books 2023” obviously. I mean, where else do you start? I got a bunch of lists – Goodreads, random blogs, you name it.
I started making a list, jotting down titles that sounded interesting. Anything with a goofy title or a cover that made me chuckle, I wrote it down.
My Reading Journey
- Started Simple: I picked one that a few different lists mentioned. Figured it was popular for a reason, right? It was… okay. Funny-ish, mystery was kinda weak, but a decent start.
- Went Deeper: Okay, so next, I decided to look for author interviews. I found some of the writers talking about their books on podcasts. Hearing them talk about their humor and writing process? Super helpful. Way better than just reading a summary.
- Tried a Recommendation: I had chosen another book from the podcasts talking. This one was much better! The jokes landed, the mystery kept me guessing, and the characters were great.
- Followed Authors, not Just Books: Now I’m onto the next. Finding authors I like and seeing what else they’ve * like the best way to go,I think.
Honestly, the biggest thing I learned? Don’t just trust the lists. Listen to authors, read reviews, see what clicks with your sense of humor. It’s all about finding what makes you laugh, while still getting that mystery * I can keep enjoying my time.
