I loved it!!!!!!!!!! It was just as hilarious as the first one. A must read! :)
Had so much fun reading this book! Here are some of my favorite lines:
And soooo many others. HAHAHAHA! I laughed out loud a couple of times. Such a great read if you need cheering up! :D
Customer: Ooh, books by Nicholas Shakespeare! Is he William Shakespeare's son?
Customer: I really don't like the planet today - can you recommend a book set far, far away?
Customer (to her friend): I only like books that I can really believe happened, you know? Like Twilight.
Customer: I need a really awful book to give to someone I hate. Any recommendations?
Customer: Do you have this crime book? It's called The Girl with the Dragon and the Baboon?
Customer (holding up a paperback): If I buy this book, can I transfer it onto my friend's Kindle?
Customer: Do you have Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Abracadabra?
Customer: Where in the book does it tell you how many pages there are?
And soooo many others. HAHAHAHA! I laughed out loud a couple of times. Such a great read if you need cheering up! :D
I read this in one sitting and once again I liked it a lot. It's a continuation of More Weird Things that people say when in a book shop and it has got some which made me chuckle or smile, and others which made me roll my eyes and wonder about the sanity of some people. It's a mixed batch of oddities and peculiar occurrences, and it's a fun read for sure.
I particularly like the idea of playing Hide and Seek and getting 'lost' in a book :) And also employing a Dragon who's passed a test to guard all the books for you. Both of these little anecdotes made me smile a lot and I think all the ones which involved children are the ones which really make you smile and your heart melt because they're so full of creativity and fun (as shown by the snippets of conversation overheard here).
Once again this book has cute little illustrations to accompany the book and the stories within, and they were all amusing and engaging, breaking up the text and providing a chance to enjoy the small image. I thought that the black and white style worked mostly, but some of the quotes did refer to colour and the images couldn't show this which made it slightly disappointing when wanting to see a horse 'with a purple tail' and instead seeing a horse with a blank tail. Ahh well :)
On the whole it's another fun little read which is good for a gift or smile :) 3*s

Yesterday I read the first one, and since I couldn't wait, I had to read the second one. The truth is that this one was funny to me, although not as much as the first one. At times it sounded too fictional, the situations set up or retouched to create the feeling that the thing had been that stupid. I don't know if I understand myself, something like to create the comic effect that characterizes these books so much. Still, I found it interesting, I enjoyed it, and I also recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind with some pretty awesome experiences. And it most definitely made me want to work at a bookstore just to see whether there are actual people who would actually say these things.
Some of my favorite lines from this book:
CUSTOMER: I’m looking for a book called I Know Why the Care Bear Sings.
CUSTOMER: I’m looking for the fourth Fifty Shades of Grey book.
BOOKSELLER: There are only three in the series.
CUSTOMER: No, there are four. I saw it in another shop yesterday. It’s really big. It’s called Fifty Shades Trilogy.
BOOKSELLER: ... That’s the box set.
CUSTOMER: Do you have Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Abracadabra?
CUSTOMER: I’d like to buy these books using this voucher.
BOOKSELLER: … Erm, this voucher is for a free burger.
CUSTOMER: Yes. I thought it should be a ratio of two books to one burger. Does that seem fair?
CUSTOMER: I’d like to buy a book for a friend.
BOOKSELLER: Sure, what does she like?
CUSTOMER (deep in thought): Well, she’s quite racist …
BOOKSELLER: …
CUSTOMER: Urgh. Shakespeare. He’s everywhere, isn’t he? You can’t escape him. I wish he’d do us all a favour and just die already.
CUSTOMER: Do you have any books signed by authors who are likely to die very soon? I’d like to make an investment.
CUSTOMER: I really don’t like the planet today – can you recommend a book set far, far away?

Oh, aun me pregunto como tardé tanto en terminar de leerlo, ¿será por no querer terminarlo jamás?¿Por darme el gustito de a poquito? Seguramente, porque este tipo de libros, estos libros de Jen los amo. El primero es excelentísimo y el segundo no se queda atrás. More Weird Things integra el mismo humor (¡real!) que su predecesor, pero creo que lo que más me llamó la atención fue el ultimo apartado, las cosas que a la propia autora le pasó en la firma de su libro (Amaría por una firma de estos libros).
Excelente trabajo de recopilación y gracia, es de aquellos libros que te relaja y te saca una sonrisa del rostro (a costa de alguien más)

Just like the first one, this book made me laugh out loud a couple of times :)
This was fun, just like the first one. The perfect thing to read after an exhausting day when I didn't have energy for anything more demanding.
This is just as funny and cute as the first one. A lovely read!
