I love reading book dedications! Often, it is our first touch with an author. it is intimate to read those words that often show what they truly cherish in life, what they hope for the book, what they hold dear.
But sometimes, authors get bold, and instead of constructing a “proper” dedication, they write words that are unorthodox, honest and often humorous. Here are 10 of dedications like that!
1. “The Selection” by Kiera Cass
Also important to include are all of Derek Landy’s dedications

It isn’t a dedication, but I recently caught this at the beginning of a book:
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real-life space military werewolves is entirely coincidental.
