#junetunz day 25 - #thatjokeisntfunnyanymore
One of the first #anime series I got into back in 2007 during the fansub boom. The humor of the show seemed to get more mean-spirited in the second season, so I can only ever recommend the first, i.e. volumes 1-6 or so of the #manga.
pick#JuneTunz #thatjokeisntfunnyanymore I was stuck on today's prompt but I picked up this short story that has been sitting in my #TBR pile for months. I found myself laughing at the snarky humor of the beginning 😆& then, as in all good ghost stories, things stopped being funny & got a bit spooky & a lot twisted.😱A fun, quick read that I enjoyed. The pacing was good & it left me with the unsettled feeling of not knowing who or what to believe. 👍📚
pick10 strangers are on a deserted island, the home of legendary comedian Dustin Walker. He has invited them there to work on his latest project. When they arrive, they find the island deserted and their host dead. This was a fun read. The murders were inventive and the ending was satisfying. Just be prepared for characters that you like to die. This is a murder mystery after all.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I'm taking a literal approach to #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore. Whenever I disagree with my family on politics or religion or life in general, they respond with something along the lines of "Why don't you just stay in your little book world and don't worry about what's happening in real life?" They think it's hilarious. I think it's annoying. #JuneTunz
Going super literal for #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore
Steve Martin was the Beatles of stand-up in the 70s, selling out stadiums to screaming crowds. In 1981, he packed up and walked away.
I have always been in awe of Martin's balance of no-holds-barred goofiness and scathing perceptiveness. This memoir is thoughtful, quiet, and occasionally melancholy. It made me love him more than I already did, which was a lot. #JuneTunz

Running out of shelf space! Not funny.

Oh, Morrissey. I adore your music (although your last album was a bit shit). I even love this delightfully self-indulgent bitchy memoir. But, Morrissey....you MUST stop talking.
I adore The Smiths, and #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore is one of my favorite songs. I feel like he was talking about depression, which seemed like a fitting prompt for the book mentioned above. So sad that the author lost his battle with depression when he committed suicide in 2013. #JuneTunz
The best thing about this book was playing spot the Smiths reference. #thatjokeisntfunnyanymore #junetunz

That's how the second half of this book felt like. Shame, I really liked the first half.
