Top Ten Tuesday

Some Things That Made Me Smile Recently (Books, TV & Memes)

20220809 Some Things That Made Me Smile

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday post! Today’s post was supposed to be ‘Hilarious Book Titles’, but I did one of those recently and wasn’t feeling a re-do. So I tweaked the topic (A LOT) and turned it into ‘Some Things That Made Me Smile Recently’. Because we could all use a smile or a laugh, so why not share what did it for me? I broke this down into books, TV and memes. Enjoy!

Books

I recently re-read Boyfriend Material (one of my favorites) in preparation of the release of the sequel, Husband Material, which I’m reading now and the humor and banter in this are just so hilarious. I also highly enjoyed So This Is Ever After, a fun, light fantasy that doesn’t take itself too seriously and had me chuckling a lot. And I highly enjoyed the rom-com The Wedding Crasher, which made me smile (and swoon) several times throughout the book.

TV

I’m currently watching Only Murders In the Building, and I’m LOVING it! It’s a true crime comedy that also doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I’m highly enjoying. I also laughed out loud A LOT with the kdrama Business Proposal, as well as the latest season of The Umbrella Academy (it’s chaotic, but in a hilarious way). And I couldn’t take the smile from my face at all while watching the uber cute and wholesome Heartstopper.

Memes

Some are bookish, some are not, but all of these made me laugh. May they do the same to you!

Finally an explanation as to why there wasn’t enough room!

    1. Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! I hope you’ll love Only Murders if you decide to try it!

  4. I love those memes!

    I think you once said you had a Twitter acccount? If so, Meanwhile in Canada is a funny account to follow there. (The majority of the jokes are very accessible to non-Canadians, and the rest are generally explained in people’s replies to those tweets). 🙂

    I’ve also been watching Only Murders In the Building (because De Volksjury podcast recommended it 😂) and I’m loving it too! Also watched The Umbrella Academy which also continues to be awesome!

    1. So glad you’re also enjoying Only Murders in the Building!! It’s been so much fun so far 🙂 And so was The Umbrella Academy indeed!

  8. Heartstopper was super cute! And I really enjoyed Only Murders In The Building when I watched it last year, I’m waiting for the new series to be complete before I dive into it again though.

    1. I just finished the first season of Only Murders in the Building and I’m definitely hesitating between diving right into the second season or waiting until all episodes are out 🙂

  9. I’m listening to Husband Material now and I have a nonstop smile on my face every time it’s on. I just love being back with Luc and Oliver. 🙂

    1. I know, I could spend time with them just doing random everyday things like grocery shopping, it’s just fun to have more time with these characters 🙂

  10. Heartstopper looks super cute.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

    1. It really is super cute 🙂

  11. Great memes. I love a book meme!

    Have a great week!

    1. Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

  12. I should start The Umbrella academy. I admit I’m curious. And Heartsopper sounds so good!

    I love the memes too, especially the first one (that made me laugh) and the work one. 🙂

    1. I hope you’ll love The Umbrella Academy if you decide to give it a try, as well as Heartstopper!

  13. Those are some great memes and totally made me smile. Like the one w/ the 2 houses representing different book styles – that’s SO me! Haven’t heard of or watched any of the TV shows; I’ve dramatically cut back how much I watch….just not enough time in the day!!

    1. Haha glad the memes could make you laugh! And it’s so true that there’s not enough time in the day, we definitely need to make some choices as to what we spend out time on. For me sometimes it’s other stuff, sometimes it’s books and sometimes I give in and binge some TV 🙂

  14. Loved Boyfriend Material and The Wedding Crasher. I’m glad they made you smile. I’m still not sure what to think of this season’s Umbrella Academy.

    1. Boyfriend Material and The Wedding Crasher were both so much fun! The new season of Umbrella Academy definitely got some mixed reviews and I agree it was a bit chaotic and all over the place – but I personally didn’t mind as I still loved the humor and vibes 🙂

  15. I love the memes you shared. I laughed especially hard and the Titanic one, lol.

    I’m also really enjoying Only Murders in the Building. I haven’t seen any of the others you listed, but I do really want to watch The Umbrella Academy.

    1. Haha, I loved the Titanic meme too! 😀 Glad to hear you’re also enjoying Only Murders in the Building, it’s been so much fun.

    HAH, I love a good meme. And that ‘taste in books’ one is so me.

    I read Husband Material this month and loved it. Just adore those two. 🙂

    I still need to watch Only Murders in the Building.
