![]() ![]() ![]() The next books have all made me laugh out loud. We all are different beings and we like certain things in a specific way. It’s possible that funny stuff that makes me laugh doesn’t make other people laugh. Today I’m focusing on light, less on the angst romance books, you know? But those can be categorized as happy tears. ![]() I’m a big cry baby so I usually cry especially if something happy happens, like a love confession. Sure, they can have hard topics in their stories, but overall, when I’m reading a romcom, I want more laughs than tears. What is a funny romance book? For me, funny romance books, or romcoms, need to be on the lighthearted side of the balance. So if you want to read real funny romance books, keep reading! And that sub-genre of books is okay! But truthfully, publishers shouldn’t deceive us that way because we go into these books expecting something and we come out feeling disappointed. They are contemporary romances with lots of drama and a few laughs. And most of the time, they’re not really romcoms. You mainly see it in romance books with cute, beautiful illustrated covers. Why? Because I feel like they (the publishers) are lying to me. Nowadays whenever I see a book labeled as a “romantic comedy”, I get nervous. ![]() ![]() ![]() The restoration of the park's visitor center was completed in 1986.
