Anu, an aspiring writer, wanted to write one bestselling book. Just one. The problem? The absence of a plot! That’s kinda essential, isn’t it? But she was having a hard time cracking an idea for her debut book. However hard she hammered her brain it could not produce a juicy little storyline.
That day was just the same, her nose to the grindstone, as she tried to formulate an article. Mr. Husband, who’d been keenly observing her all along, joked at her scramble and wondered why she couldn’t pen down stories about her own life. Annnndddd... There it was… The Idea… She pushed the pencil on her real-life episodes. Tada...
Mr. Husband unknowingly contributed to her potboiler with his witty punchlines and sarcasm. She continued inscribing one story after another and Voila! There it was! The book was ready!

REVIEW: This book encompasses the story of how the author decided to write her debut novel in this pandemic. But it not done in a usual boring format! Here the author has described her life in a story telling format and that's what will interest you. It is a story being told in a story in a story format.
MY OPINION: The book seriously holds an interesting story-telling format as this kind of books are very rare to be seen. The title ofcourse completely justifies the story which you will know once you complete the book. However I felt that the author could have made the book more interesting by involving some exaggerations. But at the same time, I would live to appreciate the author for her bravery to put out things (mostly) as it is. It could have reached heights if a bit of polishing in sentence formation and grammar would have been done. This book beautifully portrays what all the people especially in India were feeling during the lockdown period. The ups and downs of emotion that the author penned was felt by all and hence it became relatable at many points.
POINTS I LIKED: 🌸 Subtle yet wisely chosen title 🌸 Simple Language. 🌸 Relatable to the reader.
SUGGESTION: 🌸 The author can use a bit of exaggeration to make readers more engaged.
Have you ever seen laughing clubs where people laugh out loud for no apparent reason? I bet you have! If not, then I'm sure you have heard about it at least? Hahaha... But what if there are books which will make you laugh throughout the reading? Voila! I've found one for you. Yes, yes... This very book here.
Relatable, light-hearted and whimsical; this book is a short read of Anu's daily life with a hilariously annoying Mr. Husband who makes her go crazy yet happy in fulfilling her dream of becoming a best-selling author.
Being a writer, it was easier for me to understand all the writing related problems discussed here; be it writer's block, searching for novel ideas, distraction, procrastination and finally the nervousness due to the outcome of the manuscript. But this is not the only relatable part of the book. There is a direct showcase of our undying love for gadgets and at some points I felt that the author has used sarcasm to show how phones and various devices have taken place of real-life relationships. But still, we get to see the constant happiness in the life of this married couple through the simple narration of their day to day lives.
But the thing that touched my heart the most is the beautiful heart with which the author has penned down through this book. No lingering darkness, neither hidden mysteries; only some happy-go-lucky events of Anu and Mr. Husband's life which has some small, little fights which act more like sparks of love.
So my dear beautiful souls, grab this 'punny' oops, I mean funny book and have your dose of laughter and laugh out loud!

Got this book and decided to read the book because of its intriguing title.
What I liked 💛 Its a short simple read 💛 Light and makes one happy 💛 Written from daily life 💛 Very relatable 💛 Funny 💛 Theme of every chapter is set by a small quote, that sets the theme for the whole chapter 💛 It's written like a diary 💛 Talks about marriage, relationships, jealousy , and even revenge in a cute sense
What I didn't like as much
🖤 Not all funny, as in all the jokes don't necessarily land 🖤 Written like a blog, it has a very casual language, which was nice. And the authors choice. Its just that I'm not used to it
🖤 The constant use of Mr. Husband, in reference to her husband. Initially it was cute and maybe funny. But with repetition it kinda got to me
Quotes I liked
❤ The most beautiful relationship is where “I” becomes “WE” and “MY” expands into “OUR”.
❤ Marriage is the bond between a person who never remembers anniversaries and another who never forgets them.
The book title caught my attention and I was looking for a light and fun read anyway. It also helped that the book was short and available on Kindle Unlimited.
As the blurb mentions, this book is structured around everyday 👪 episodes. The use of everyday lingo and idioms was refreshing. The chapter titles and quotes were very well picked, they fit nicely with the episode's content. I know it is too much to expect, but I wish the book had some funny illustrations as well.
Overall, I found the book interesting and easy to read. And it did rekindle a bit of my own desire to finish a fictional novel someday.

In the world full of pandemic, distressing stories all you need to do is stay safe at home and punch in some humorous and hilarious novels to treat your mood. And one such amazing book I recently read is "Its punny opps I mean funny" by Namita Das.
A perfect blend of relatable incidents with a pure comic touch. This book goes through the daily life activities of a married couple and shows us how funny and sarcastic it turns out to be.
Full of short stories, this books gives you a positive perspective of a relationship and so many relatable moments which will surely cause pain in stomach !
This book is a real mood lifter and is written in a very cheerful manner ! I believe this is a highly recommended book and I personally thank the author for the positivity her stories brought into my life.
A much needed short novel, full of easy to finish funny short stories !
This was a very good read! I love when I have a book of various short stories. It was worth the read. Mrs. Anu was someone that I loved reading about. How she went through so much! It had so many themes, and it was going well with the flow of the stories. Well done to the author.
After going through a good number of scifi, historic and life learning books, I picked up this book for some light humour and puns. And the book provided me with just what I wanted. The book has several chapters with short stories or should I say myriad life instances or journey through the eyes of a couple. The author's sense of humour and wit created by the author while haring the couple's experience is amazing I must say. I loved this book and out of all the chapters, I loved the chapter 'Dink' the most. The pun intended here is just too good. I could relate to the probing aunts in the neighborhood who would literally try to gather as much personal information as they can possibly get. The cricket team comment was a nice one.
How many of you have been used like a doormat by others? The chapter 'Use Me' fits to this situation. And I think I would still support the hubby for his action.
I wonder if 'Plunder Tale' really happened. But yes, we do realize that sometimes we are surprised with people's unexpected behavior.
Each chapter starts with a pun intended quote. And I think I loved Albert Einstein's quote the most: 'Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So, each is inevitably disappointed.' LOL
Every chapter has a life situation handled and managed by the couples with a practical sense of humor, wit, and insights as well.
To sum up, It's relatively easy to make someone cry than to make someone smile and laugh. And the author does it amazingly well. The author is really creative in her narratives filled with pragmatism, humor with sarcasm and pun intended.
It's my first read from the Humor genre and I really enjoyed this book. This book is the story of Anu & Mr. Husband and their day-to-day life. Anu is an aspiring novelist who is struggling to finish writing her novel. Want to know what the stories are? Flip the book to the front, admire the cover, open the book and then start turning the pages. And remember to read in between the page turns.
Characters are well developed. The writing style is very simple, language is easy to understand and captive till the end, the author has a good command over language, the flow of the book is good. A simple and sweet book with sarcastic touch in it. Fast-paced book, I have finished the book in a day. The book is divided into chapters. The quotes at beginning of every chapter are amazing. This was an unputdownable book. I would recommend this book to everyone as this is a simple & sweet read, good for beginners as well. 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓: https://www.bibliophiletalks.in/
This humorous book is about Anu and Mr. Husband. Anu wants to write a book but is struggling to write one and her distractions are so relatable and Mr. Husband is so witty and sarcastic in the book.
First of all, you can judge this book by its title. I love how witty the title is!!! The book has so many relatable scenes and I'm sure anyone who reads it will be able to relate.
It had been long since I read such a hilarious and witty book, the last I read something like this was Mrs. Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna and I loved it to bits and I guess this book is my new favorite in the genre.
The times are so tough and stressful these days but when a book like this comes along the way, it is everything that one needs. A light and humorous read that I'd recommend everyone to read to lighten up the mood.
Thanks to the author for a book like this. I truly loved it❤
Fairy tales are indubitably beautiful but the reality is proposing only when you have that one alluring. BOOK TITLE: It's Punny Oops, I mean Funny! AUTHOR: Namita Das GENRE: Fictional humor EDITION: kindle RATING: 4/5 BOOK REVIEW: The story revolves around the main character Anu, an aspiring writer, wanted to write one bestselling book. But there is one problem absence of a plot. She comes up with the idea of writing about her daily adventures life. This is a short story about Anu's daily adventures life which is written hilariously and sarcastically. The character is well developed and their given name is funny like Mr. Husband, Mr. Tots, Mrs. Umpire aunty. I love Mr. Husband's sense of humor and his bonding with his wife. I love the chapter division and their introductory quotes. This book can be read during a coffee or tea break and this is a best book for getting out of a reading slump .Looking forward to read more from author. I recommend this book to every reader and non-reader out there.
ⒷⓄⓄⓀ ⓇⒺⓋⒾⒺⓌ It's punny oops I meant funny Author: Namita Das Genre: Humour My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you had read and liked Mrs. Funnybones, you will most probably like this book too. It's a great work of comedy between a husband and a wife, their daily banter and the back and forth vocal battle that arises due to miscommunication... mostly because each is failing to grasp the other's sense of humour.
The chapters are quite short, and the episodes really really funny. The book is only of 82 pages, and if you want a quick laugh, this is the book for you.
Do you like the humour or comedy genre? Recommend me some good books if you have read any.
This is my first ever read of Namita, who is a zeal of energy. I just could not put it down from the moment I picked it up. I took no time to finish this as I had been so engrossed in this small yet refreshing book. I recall having a smile always as I read through. It's a small, cute collection and written in a simple yet in a way that directly connects with any reader. I get a feeling that even the non-readers would love it too. I loved it thoroughly and had a good time reading it. Great going, Namita!
I'll start off by saying that this isn't the kind of book that I usually read but as I read it on a Sunday afternoon, I found myself chuckling at times and truly laughing at others. This is a fast paced, concise, and extremely relatable work in which the writer has picked up rather mundane everyday situations and through a witty and often sarcastic narrative style presented a heartwarming and enjoyable story. If you are looking for a breezy lighthearted read to just relax with then this is the perfect book for you. Highly recommended.
Fun stories that make up a memorable laugh riot! What starts off as Anu's distracted attempts to write soon transforms into a series of hilarious episodes filled with oh-so-relatable incidents. I loved the camaraderie between the lead couple, the witty comments, the sarcastic replies and how the couple navigates through a lot of incidents with a sense of humour that makes for a pleasant read from start to finish. Tots makes his appearances from time to time and I would like to see a lot more of him in the next book. Highly recommended!
