p.s. if you use, or would be able to open an account on Facebook, you'll certainly laugh many times if you join the group "Writers, Readers and General Tomfoolery" . It has more serious stuff too, but loads of fun memes and people's tales, and some great comments.

If you're a horsey person but don't take yourself too seriously, Facebook group "shiteventersunite" is crack-up funny, but a non horsey person just wouldn't get it.

If you have any knowledge of farming, then the irreplaceable Henry Brewis's part story, part cartoon books will have you helpless with laughter. Here's a link to one of his earliest offerings.

There are, so far as I know, 28 books in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovitch. My wonderful late husband and I almost used to come to fisticuffs over who got to read the latest release first! They're laugh-out-loud romantic/detective/just-plain-fun books.

Here's a link to the first one:

amazon.co.uk/One-Money-Stephanie-Plum-01/dp/0140252924/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35ZAJ7PLI513H&keywords=janet+evanovich+one+for+the+money&qid=1645447545&sprefix=janet+evanovitch%2Caps%2C470&sr=8-1]]

I'll try and think of more, but might be helpful if you could say what genre you used to prefer.
