Book 173🎧 4⭐️

Another hilarious story by Dave Barry. Filled with gold, gun and a Mellon Monster!😂

dabbe I savor his end-of-the-year reviews. I'd use them to teach satire to my students. He. Is. Hilarious. 🤩🤩🤩 7mo
BeeMagical @dabbe I loved this one and Insane City. Always a good time😂 I‘ll keep an eye out for his year review!! 7mo
dabbe @BeeMagical And I'll have to check out your recs. It's been a while since I read one of his books! 😍 7mo

Finally getting my kids back to the library after paying an astounding $140 in library fees from 2021 😬

5feet.of.fury Yikes, I‘m sure you‘ll get $140 of entertainment back, but holy moly. I thought Swamp Story was really fun! 10mo
Krdugan @5feet.of.fury if I‘m being honest, I am INCREDIBLY embarrassed… so far it‘s pretty good. Very similar vibes to Carl Hiaasen‘s writing! 10mo

Hilarious.
An action packed story about The Everglades Melon Monster, reality TV, social media, lost treasure, Rednecks, the Russian Mob, bad relationships, the decline of journalism & more.

A few of the side plots weren‘t as fleshed out, but it was very amusing.

ShyBookOwl Omg, sounds so fun! 10mo

At the beginning of this book there is a scene where one of the characters is asked to hold a piñata while the birthday girl wildly swings a golf club. It goes how you‘d expect.

I actually saw almost this same thing happen but thankfully it was not a golf club ?

DGRachel I laughed my behind off reading this book. Enjoy!! 10mo
5feet.of.fury @DGRachel I‘m at the half way point, between all the conniving ding dongs, Everglades Mellon Monster & Glades Guy I‘ve been cracking up 😂 I love Jesse. 10mo

Full Review/Recipe Match: https://bakingthroughbookclub.com/2023/06/04/melon-monsters-money-and-mayhem/

Swap Story is the embodiment of Mulder‘s famous poster from the X-Files: I WANT to believe. If you are looking for a light summer read that will make you laugh, Swamp Story is a solid choice. It‘s also a perfect suggestion for people who are occasional readers who just want something to entertain them on vacation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Curl up with this and escape into the ultimate Floridian adventure, where you‘ll encounter pythons, alligators, melon monsters, TikTokers, an emotional support boar, buried treasure, mobsters, sleazy politicians, and more… and somehow it all comes together perfectly and hilariously! It‘s wild but well-crafted; a shot of pure fun. Can this please be a movie? 🐊

ICantImReading @JanuarieTimewalker13 @CatMS this is actually the first time I had ever heard of him, but now I think I need to explore his backlist! 😊 11mo
dabbe Da sleepy puppy! 🩵🐾🤍 My highlight at the end of every year is to read Barry's “Year in Review.“ 🤣🤩😍 11mo
ICantImReading @dabbe I‘m definitely going to have to check that out!! 11mo
dabbe @ICantImReading He satirizes everything--as only he can! 🤣 11mo
JanuarieTimewalker13 Oh his stuff is hilarious. Yeah check out his stuff from the early 90s…very funny. I thought he went back to the mid to late 80s but I could be wrong. (edited) 11mo

On the back of this book I received recently, it was blurbed by Steve Martin. He says this book is funny but he also says he hasn‘t read it yet but he loves it. I‘m so confused. Has he read the book or not? I want to read this book and give it a chance. I‘m just not sure if I‘m going to like it because of the humor and I don‘t know if I‘m going to understand the humor because it‘s set in Florida and I don‘t live in Florida. I live in Texas.

I‘m sharing this book I received in the mail today. This is from Simon & Schuster. This book sounds interesting. I‘m looking forward to reading it. This book went on sale May 2, 2023.
