Top Ten Tuesday - Fears, Tears, and all the Feels


Happy Tuesday, dear readers! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt from That Artsy Reader Girl is ten books I had very strong emotions about. Whether angry, sad, exhilarated, or terrified...these books twisted me all up inside. Did any of them resonate with you in some way? 

📙 1. It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover - I was in an abusive relationship for three years before I met my husband 31 years ago, and this story had me literally sobbing. 

📗 2, 3, and 4 - The Great Alone, The Nightingale, and The Women by Kristin Hannah - You know those books that leave you in a state of disbelief because you've finished them and you don't know quite how to move on? Well, these books did that to me, and this is why Kristin Hannah will always be my favorite author. 

📘 5. Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult - I threw this book across my living room, and that's all I'm going to say about it. Grrrrrrr.

📕 6 and 7 - Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and Educated by Tara Westover - These two books kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering what in the world could possibly happen next. The fact that Educated is a true story made it that more shocking. 

📙 8 and 9 - Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry and I'm Glad My Mom Died by  Jennette McCurdy - I love biographies, and these are two of the best ones I've read recently. Matthew's made me very sad just knowing that he's no longer here, and I was stunned over what Jennette went through with her mom. Crazy stuff. 

📗 10. Verity by Colleen Hoover - I loved this book because I never knew what to expect next, and I lost count of the times I had to pick my jaw off the floor. One of my favorites by Colleen.

  1. You definitely shared some powerhouses when it comes to all the feels! Anything by Kristin Hannah is going to pack a punch. And the same for most by Colleen Hoover.

  3. I don't ever (or VERY rarely) read biographies (pretty sure I can count on one hand the ones I did read), but I heard Jeanette's was very good. Also never read a Colleen Hoover novel, but again, I've heard her books are fabulous. :) Thanks so much for visiting my website today!
