From time to time, a patron will tell us that they returned a book that never got checked in and we have to look for it. Often, this involves sending an email to all the branches in case it somehow got returned to a different branch or something, and then every branch responds.

This means that, for the past few days, I have received a series of emails titled "His Unexpected Amish Twins" as each branch chimes in in turn to report that they haven't found the book.

Somehow, that is the funniest goddamn book title I've ever seen. It gets funnier with each new email.

I had to look it up and there is a whole series of Amish romance books. The author "has Amish friends" who help ensure the accuracy of her storylines.

I honestly love all of the titles because the structure of them makes it seem like the "unexpected/pretend/accidental" is modifying Amish instead of "twins/family/etc". The idea of someone going, "Oops, I guess my family is accidentally Amish now!" is extremely funny to me.

"I slept with a lady at a bar turns out she was Amish and now I'm a father" was my first thought.

It really does!

Apparently that one is the first in a series "Unexpected Amish Blessings" which is also a pretty great title.

That book title made me laugh out loud. There's just so much going on.

That is an excellent title.

"Hi, Pops! You did this thing, and we're the twins born from it!"

"Aah!"

"And we're Amish!"

"AAAAH!"
