Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books I Had VERY Strong Emotions About.
Some of my favorite books are the ones that make me FEEL… good, bad, happy, sad, but never indifferent! (Okay, a certain book that made me mad isn’t actually a favorite — but it absolutely gave me some very strong feelings… of anger.)
Here are my top ten:
- Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery: Joy, delight, feelings of being totally charmed.
- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt: A sense of wonder and connection.
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling: Sorrow… you know why.
- Anxious People by Fredrik Backman: Such a mix of emotions! Entertainment, but really getting to experience all the ups and downs of all the various characters.
- The Guncle by Steven Rowley: Heart-warming happiness, but with threads of sympathetic sadness too.
- The Extraordinaries by T. J. Klune: Hilarity… but also intense embarassment over the characters’ most cringe behavior (which is still intensely funny)
- Hunter’s Moon by Dana Stabenow: Grief, no other way to put it.
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: Is “swoon” an emotion? Okay, love and sadness and fear and delight, over and over and over.
- Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer: This is the book that made me so angry that I wanted to throw it across the room. There’s a certain point where I was just NOPE.
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness: Grief and sympathy.
What books made you feel all the feelings?
