books that gave me ‘awww’ feelings
posted by soe 1:08 am

So this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl asks for specific “awwww” moments in books, and like many participants, I struggled to come up with those. So I’m sharing ten books that made me hug them or my people when I got to the end of them:

  1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows
  2. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
  3. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
  4. The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
  5. Landline by Rainbow Rowell
  6. The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
  7. A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
  8. A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd
  9. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin
  10. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

Are there particular awww moments, or awww books in general, that stand out for you?

Great list, I look forward to reading a lot of those books as they are on my TBR just haven’t gotten to them yet.

Maybe not a good aw, but I clutch at my chest when Jem’s dog, still waiting at the train station starts to howl.

When I finished reading A Man Called Ove, I closed the book and cried a little. I felt like I had lost a close member of my family.
