If I liked Adrian Mole what else will I like?

[seperatedmum]

just that really, obviously I'm an adult I've just read the "lost diaries" for the umpteenth time and I'm sad it's over, I like this level of humour and peril, I'm not having the greatest time right now... I can read thrillers like "the guilty couple" well I listened to that but that's not my usual thing, and I listened to "time after time" but that's as twee as I can handle I couldn't go any further down that road 😬 I do like a journal format and I liked Sue Townsend RIP I've read most of the books, any ideas please? I did Google but it kept leading back to teen books. thanks

I've read them all but I just happened to have lost diaries handy. I've read paradise lodge and can find some more Nina Stibbe, I often re-read and God created the au pair again witty to me journal format. I'll be re/reading all these suggestions thanks 🙏🏽

You might like the James Herriot books about being a vet in Yorkshire. All Creatures Great and Small.

My Family and Other Animals is very funny too.

They are obviously quite different to Adrian but they are funny comfort reads.

Diary of a Provincial Lady by EM Delafield is also excellent. And Mapp and Lucia. If you're up for a 1920s ish vibe.

I was about to suggest The Wrong Boy by Willie Russell but can see someone has beat me to it.

Me too! It's hilarious.

The Queen and I is one of my favourite ever books. I just love Sue Townsend

Try "Where'd you go, Bernadette?" By Maria Semple.

Shit My Dad Says - Justin Halpern

The Tent, the Bucket, And Me - Emma Kennedy

Exactly what I was going to say!

The Public Confessions of a Middle Aged Woman (age 55 and 3/4's)
by... Sue Townsend 🤓

Love Adrian Mole!

I thought the 'Why Mummy...' series was going to be awful but actually found it very relatable and funny. Why Mummy Drinks is the first. The author is definitely a Mumsnetter!

@Needhelp101 the latest one was quite funny I recall, the problem I have with a lot of the 'funny mummy' books is that they're usually quite well off which facilitates lots of funny situations and isn't relatable to me so I suppose that's why poor Adrian strikes a chord with me lol

Not a diary as such op,but the only way is up is a great book.
