My Emotions! My Emotions!
Happy Tuesday! I really love this topic! We are tasked with finding books that evoked really strong emotions from me. A big part of my rating is determined by how much the book made me feel. I could have filled me with joy, gave me with an aching heart, or left me with lots to think about. No matter what, I felt something. This week I thought I would share books that made me cry - five happy, five sad. Though, I must say that the sad-cry books left me happy or happy-ish in the end. I am trying to incorporate recent books, but my love for happy/sad books runs deep.

Great take on the prompt, Sam. I love an emotional book and if I haven't shed some tears by the end something has gone terribly wrong. lol Out on a Limb has been on my radar and my library has it so hopefully I'll get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteOut on a Limb may be too fluffy for you, but it was amazing! Tears of joy!!!
DeleteThanks for the list. I haven't read any of these.
ReplyDeletetons of gems up there.
DeleteYes, Isadora Bentley brought out strong emotions! I loved it too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good book! Needs more hype!
DeleteI've always thought of Tessa Bailey's books as light, fun romps, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see that one brought happy tears!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, but it was so sweet, too. I adored this one. Definitely high on my list of her books.
DeleteI see some of your recent favorites here! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI try to feature more recent books since we often circle back to same/similar topics.
