Hello SErs! Harmony here. Happy Friday! To round off our week here on Story Empire, I thought I’d finish on a happy note. Have you ever read a book dedication along the lines of ‘To Emma’ and wondered ‘who the hell is Emma?’ … It’s a bit boring, right? How about giving the general reader a little more? … ‘To Emma, my wife, who wouldn’t let me stop writing’. Much better! In writing this post, I’ve learned something, and my future dedications will be a bit different than thus far, lols 🙂
This post was born because, being a random kind of a gal (at times), I found something totally random on the web for you: Five Funny book dedications (in no particular order) …
Taken from An Introduction to Algebraic Topology By Joseph Rotman:
Taken from No Way Back By Matthew Klein:
Taken from This Boy’s Life By Tobias Wolff:
Taken from Otherland: City of Golden Shadow Book 1 by Tad William
Taken from Hounded By Kevin Hearne:
This last one is my favourite! I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Five for Friday. Have a great weekend!

Nothing wrong with spreading a little cheer, especially when someone is about to read your book!
Do you suppose thriller writers could get away with something a little more scary?
