Books Guaranteed to Put a Smile On Your Face

Books Guaranteed to Put a Smile On Your Face

September 7, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I love books that make me smile and laugh. The books that make my day. They don’t necessarily have to be happy books. But books with characters that just make me smile. So today I’m sharing the books that I think will put a smile on your face. From young adult to fantasy and romacne. Here we go. Like always these are in no order.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston | Punderworld, Volume 1 by Linda Šejić | Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman|The Extraordinaries (The Extraordinaries #1) by T.J. Klune.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune | Check, Please! Book 1: #Hockey (Check, Please! #1-2) by Ngozi Ukazu | Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales | Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore.

What books make you smile? Have you read any of these? Did they make you smile? Let’s Chat!

    Ugh! I desperately need to read Cerulean Sea. Everyone talks about how wonderfully fluffy and happy it is.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while.
