Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is top ten books that make me smile:

  1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
  2. Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus
  3. Landline by Rainbow Rowell
  4. Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
  5. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
  6. Peter Mayle’s A Year in Provence
  7. A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman
  8. Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
  9. A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd
  10. Nicola Yoon’s The Sun Is Also a Star

I’m a sucker for a happy ending and these ten all deliver in one way or another.

Night Circus was so beautiful wasn’t it! And The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie was a lovely film, not read the book yet.
Great list and thanks for sharing. My TTT is here https://bookloverssanctuary.com/2020/07/14/top-ten-tuesdaybooks-that-make-me-smile/

I’ve only read #6, but I agree! Several of these others are on my TBR, and it’s good to know they are smile-worthy.

A Man Called Ove was excellent. The movie adaption was also pretty fantastic.

Landline and A Man Called Ove made me smile too. They’re both so funny!
