Amusing book title parodies

I can’t remember if this was in-game or if I made it up, but the writer in my freeplay save had a hit romance novel either called Love in the Time of Llamas, or Love in the Time of Rodent Fever, can’t remember which one it was. There was also a children’s book which I lovingly called Growing Up Sucks.

bwahah I like Nothing to Do about Something

Hairy Potplant - A young boy receives a plant from his uncle, and instead of leaves, it grows hair...long, luxurious hair. Now the race is on to stop the deadly split ends.

The Big Boat That Might - Tugs is a lazy boat. If you give him something to do, he just might do it...or he might not, it just depends.

Jessie Wrote - A young girl learns of secrets going on within her neighborhood, but instead of doing anything about them, she simply writes fantastical tales of a more interesting girl.

Shovels - A detention camp ships young boys out into the desert and hands them what are clearly weapons...then...get this...they only have one unarmed person watch over and lob insults at them.

The Thieving Bush - A bush gets fed up with people taking its berries, so it decides it's time to take some things in exchange.

The Receiver - Some guy is giving out free cures for colour-blindness. This is the story of one guy who avoided getting it until the reviews came in.

Cowardly Little Blender - Did you hear about the blender who screamed every time it heard a loud noise? What? What was that? I can't hear you over this milkshake I'm whipping up...and that godawful screaming.

Rat Pimples - I bet you didn't think I could write a 200-page book about rats dealing with acne.

The Jake Documents - Jake works in an office as a file clerk. This is a recounting of how he organised a stack of documents one time.

Vampires Wear Whatever They Want - Some kids think their school faculty are monsters, and it's up to the faculty to prove them wrong. They aren't "monsters"...that's a derogatory term. "Mortal-adjacent" is a much nicer way to refer to them.

Art! Ya Missed!! Foul!!! - A kid who's bad at sports goes on to be bad at stealing things, too.

One of my sims wrote a three-part series of mystery novels inspired by the pandemic:

Spike Protein: Private Eye
Spike Protein: The Mask of Corona
Spike Protein: The Delta Variant

Word really got around about the books, which had an infectious enthusiasm in the main character.

Comedy books, You Can't Tune A Fish; Fly, There's A Waiter In My Soup; A Funny Thing Happened On The Way.
Children's books, Criss In Boots, Criss In Boots Goes To School, Criss In Boots Makes Friends, you get the picture.
Mystery, Murder On The Llama Express, Freezer Bunny Crime Cases.

Love all these. :D Figured I'd share the rest I made:
