From Booklist Online: Laugh all you want, but comedy is an art form. It takes skill to land jokes and coax chuckles from an audience. These novels, reviewed between January 2025 and September 2026, go for the funny bone and invariably hit their marks.

I got @JerryCraft's "New Kid," preparing to read a story of armed insurrection à la Nat Turner. Parents wouldn't mobilize against a book which didn't at least feature a few murders of police officers & riots which targeted some chain stores, right? bit.ly/3mcmwag

Saw SpiderMan in 3D at @EpicTheatresInc in Orlando. Realized it was not in 3D after about 20 mins. But since no one complained until after the movie. “There was nothing they can do” even though we paid for 3D. Oh well.

The only Hot Wheel that I kept from my childhood. I believe it is called The Boss Hoss circa 1969. I held this one back after my sister and my mom made me give the rest of my collection to my nephew. ❤️

Saw Spider-Man in 3D @EpicTheatresInc Orlando. Was so into it I forgot it was supposed to be in 3D, but it wasn’t. Afterwards, everyone complained. No refunds, no credits, nothing. They said “at least we saw the movie.” True, but we also paid for something we didn’t get! 😑

The New Kid graphic novels by @JerryCraft are an essential series for any Y5/6 classroom, tackling themes of friendship, race, and identity, and are fast-paced, relatable, and highly engaging. They're incredibly popular in class, and are rarely on the bookshelves.

Trying to refi w/ @newrezwholesale for over a month. If I have NEVER missed a payment on 2 mortgages, doesn’t it make sense that I will be able to afford to pay LESS money w/ a lower rate? They contacted me but have made it nearly impossible to complete. I even tried to cancel!

In all the airports I’ve ever been in, I’ve never seen a check-in counter with no one behind the desk unless it was really early in the morning. Was just told that no one would be here until 6:30 PM. Luckily my flight isn’t until 8:20 PM.😆 @jetblue
