I went on a trip to Atlanta recently, and I like to take my Kindle with me on trips because I have like 3,000 books on there and it weighs so little. But I had to fly to get to my destination, so of course I needed reading material for the take off and landing.
I took Wombat Sushi by Rhonda Louise as that reading material. But once I started reading during the take off, I never did end up switching to my Kindle. I read half of the book on my trip there, and the other half on my return trip.
Want to know why? Because Rhonda Louise is funny. And Wombat Sushi is a light read with tons of humor and wit. I’m sure if you know anything about Australian wit, which I don’t, you’d probably enjoy it even more than I did.
Basically, there are six Australian dancers (dancers, not strippers) and a singer who are all sent over to Japan to dance at a club. Of course nothing goes right, no one gets along, and they end up in the craziest (and I mean the CRAZIEST) of situations.
Wombat Sushi is a hilarious light read. But don’t take just my word for it. Here’s a quote from the website that gives the book props: “A hilarious debut novel from Rhonda Louise. I really think you should buy it” - Rhonda Louise. Me too, Rhonda Louise, me too.
I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
What’s your go-to take off/landing reading material?
Thanks for reading,


Ooh, this one is new to me. I love funny books! Once in a while I crave something that will make me laugh out loud
I’m going to email you about this!
I’m looking forward to receiving this one in the mail!
Yay!!!!!
Thank you ladies, and thank you Rebecca for your brilliant review. I now officially have a bit of a girl crush on you (don’t tell my husband!)
Don’t tell MY husband!
Seriously, keep them coming and pass them on to me in the future!
That book sounds delightful! Sounds very funny. Seeing as I’ll need a few beach reads in the next month or so, I may just have to look into it.
This is a great beach read for sure! It’s light but not too fluffy, and it was really funny!
I haven’t read a ‘funny’ book in a LONGGGG time! (Or should I say light read)
This one is perfect! It’s light but not too fluffy or girlie.
Will check it out.
