Humour

About the Humour shelf

There are 31 series on the Humour shelf. Together they hold 196 books. The longest is Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, with 24 books. Because long runs are easy to lose track of, a clear order helps most there.

10 of them still run, while 21 have finished. None has a dated next book yet, although that can change at any time. Finished series need no catching up, but a running one gains a new book from time to time.

The three biggest are Diary of a Wimpy Kid (24), The Bad Guys (20) and Rotten School (16). The shortest runs have only 2 books, such as Thelma the Unicorn. Both kinds get the same checks, because a short series can still hide a tricky order.

Meghan Quinn writes the most of them, with 9 series. In all, 14 authors are behind these series. Since each name links to an author page, you can follow a writer to their other work.

The oldest series with a known start began in 1975, and the newest began in 2024. Since the data comes from public records, a series with no known start year stays undated.

Because a series can sit on more than one shelf, some titles here also appear on neighbouring shelves. Not sure where to begin? Open any series for its reading order, or return to all shelves for a wider view.
