Getting Over ItGetting Over It by Anna Maxted
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $0.01
This book came highly recommended and I did like it, but I didn't find it as much funny as astute and perhaps witty.
Running In Heels: A NovelRunning In Heels: A Novel by Anna Maxted

I love Anna Maxted, even if her writing is often uneven.

More fun with serious issues from ms. maxted
Being Committed: A NovelBeing Committed: A Novel by Anna Maxted
Buy new: $11.86 / Used from: $0.01
Fun, but not her best.
A Tale of Two SistersA Tale of Two Sisters by Anna Maxted
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $0.01
Good, made me feel like I said good bye to friends when I stopped reading, but it was not the best Anna Maxted book I ever read. Still better than Being Committed.

A really fun read.

One-Hit WonderOne-Hit Wonder by Lisa Jewell
Buy new: $11.05 / Used from: $0.01
This was a fun book. I like Lisa Jewell's writing.
Ralph's PartyRalph's Party by Lisa Jewell
Buy used from: $1.95
This book is a lot of fun to read, but I felt that some of the characters often behaved in ways that drastically contradicted their established personalities.
Thirty-nothingThirty-nothing by Lisa Jewell
Buy used from: $0.01
I really enjoyed this book much more than Ralph's Party. The characters remained truer to themselves throughout even though it is just a silly love story.

Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01
This was okay.

Too funny is Georgia

Very funny. Just love this character.
Mad CowsMad Cows by Kathy Lette
Buy used from: $0.01
This was funny, but Kathy Lette's writing won't change your life. Good to read on an airplane.
Bridget Jones's Diary (movie tie-in)Bridget Jones's Diary (movie tie-in) by Helen Fielding
Buy used from: $1.88
This was funny, but Kathy Lette's writing won't change your life. Good to read on an airplane.
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (movie tie-in)Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (movie tie-in) by Helen Fielding
Buy used from: $1.00
The plots are more contrived but this book is actually funnier than the original, I think
Ringing for You: A Love Story with InterruptionsRinging for You: A Love Story with Interruptions by Anouchka Grose Forrester
Buy new: $15.95 / Used from: $0.06
This book was a little annoying at first with all of the icons standing in for the interruptions, but I liked it . It was fun and I identified with the protagonist.
Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and SwansJemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans by Jane Green
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01
The outcome of this book was predictable, but it was still fun to read while reaching its logical conclusion.
Lucy Sullivan Is Getting MarriedLucy Sullivan Is Getting Married by Marian Keyes
Buy used from: $1.50
This book is fun, but I felt it had so much potential to which it didn't live up; I only read it because I am a total anglophile. Keyes is actually Irish but she lived in London, so I count her.
Cause CelebCause Celeb by Helen Fielding
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.01
It is more deep than Bridget Jones, but it lacks a certain something. Still worth a read.
Bad Heir DayBad Heir Day by Wendy Holden
Buy used from: $0.01
I found this book to be fun, but it is the "B" story that is the fun and engaging part. The main story is such a throwaway, undeveloped part of it.
Namedropper: A NovelNamedropper: A Novel by Emma Forrest
Buy new: $12.00 / Used from: $0.01
Very witty, slightly dreary at times and sad, yet not depressing. Wish I had been this girl when I was that young; she is so astute.

Lots of fun! I learned some new Britslang (and I used to live there!).

Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
The actual plots of this sequel are not that engrossing but the humor is even better than the first one!
Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee HeeLife Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee by Meera Syal

Interesting, funny, deep look into the lives of three, first generation British Indians and their families.

I love this book, and I love Nick Hornby. I even liked the movie though the book is better.
About a BoyAbout a Boy by Nick Hornby

This book was fun and touching.
Speaking with the AngelSpeaking with the Angel
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.01
Not all, but most of the authors in this anthology are British (Nick Hornby edited it). So far I have read half of it, and it is good.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-TimeThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01
A funny and tragic (if at times unrealistic) and very original book about an autistic boy's life
Notes From a Small IslandNotes From a Small Island by Bill Bryson
Buy used from: $10.73
Really funny and astute observations from an expat american (and honorary brit in my opinion).
Men and Other MammalsMen and Other Mammals by Jim Keeble
Buy new: $18.00 / Used from: $0.01
This wasn't bad but despite Nick Hornby's endorsement this novel falls flat.

Started Well with ingenious characters--I mean how can you resist an ancient bowl as the main narrator?--But Doesn't Go Anywhere.

I've read almost all of the Adrian Mole books. This one is really the only one worth it.

Pretty good book from Hornby
