Books That Gave Me All The Feels

Books That Gave Me All The Feels

November 15, 2022 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 8 Comments

 

This week I’m sharing the books that give me all the feels. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I struggled a little with this week’s topic so instead of moments and scenes in books, I decided to share the books that give me all the feels. From good feels that made me smile, to the books that made me sob. These are the books that hit me right in the chest. 

These books took me on a journey through all the emotions. They didn’t just make me smile a little or shed a tear. They made me feel everything right from my core. So let’s get into it. And as always these are in no order. 

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. | Heartstopper by Alice Oseman | Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson.

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry | Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley.  | Letters to the Lost (Letters to the Lost #1) by Brigid Kemmerer | Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys.

Lola & the Millionaires (Sweet Omegaverse #2) by Kathryn Moon | Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese.

And there we go. Those are the books that give me all the feels. From making me feel good or making me sob. I still love them all the same. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What books made it onto your list? Let’s Chat!

    I was just thinking about Salt to the Sea yesterday. I can’t really think of aww moments, though. Such a sad story.

    My ‘aww’ moments and more.

    Great twist to the topic! Chloe Liese’s books never fail to make me feel EVERYTHING. She is a queen at that and I love and hate it! 😂😍 I haven’t seen that cover for Words in Deep Blue before but I adore it and that’s also one of the books that absolutely shattered me. SUCH a good book. Awesome list!

    I was a bit disappointed in The Song of Achilles because it didn’t make me feel as much as I was hoping it would. I did feel a bit of an emotional disconnect from the characters in Salt To The Sea, but having said that, the part of the book that covered the shipwreck itself was incredibly distressing.

    I have read Circe by Madeline Miller but not Song of Achilles but it is on my TBR. I have seen Heartstopper has come across on a few lists.

    While I haven’t read it, I’m sure Heartstopper is full of awe moments!

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. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
