  1. Cool... I'm loving that generator! Had a few of these on my TBR list already (or read them) but I'm seeing a few new interesting ones, too! Thanks for sharing! :D (And for mentioning Pity Isn't An Option!)

    1. Yeah, I made sure to include some well-known classics as well as some lesser-known ones. I love discovering new authors, and I assume other people do, too. :) (PIAO is def a favorite. Looking forward to the sequel.)

  2. Great choices and cool format to show them :) For laughing, not many books can do it better than a Junie B. Jones chapter book for me :)

    1. I've heard that about Junie B. Jones! I haven't read much at that level (except the old ones I read when I was that age like Amelia Bedelia), but I suspect I will more as my kids grow up. I love it when books intended for teens and adults mix the humor in, too. It's rare, I think, with everybody writing dark, sexy, and broody these days.
