Have you ever read a book that left you with a big smile on your face and a warm, sort of fuzzy feeling in your heart? A book that made you want to contact the author and tell them how much you enjoyed their work and then spend the evening spooning the book in a gentle, loving-yet-platonic embrace? Then add that book to this list so other people might get that feeling too.

Note: This list is not the same as a simple "I loved it" list. Please read the description before adding.

message 1: by Tanya (new)

Tanya I was so surprised to see Girl of the Limberlost on the list. I read it as a pre-teen and loved it so. I could not find a copy of the book when I was a school librarian not the book that followed by Porter. Loved them, they kept me enchanted while I had the mumps.


message 2: by Juliet (new)

Juliet Aharoni Hi Tanya,
Your remarks reminded me that I also wanted to read.
I'd like to read Girl of the Limberlost now. Never too late.
Juliet

Wendy Broyles so many feelings...

Yes! Yes!

MB (What she read) I think most of the Gene Stratton Porter books have been re-released as ebooks now. (In case anyone here is interested).

My granmama loved this book and recommended it bo me but I haven't been able to find a copy.


message 7: by P (new)

P Interesting question. I don't snuggle with books, or other inanimate objects either. Other than my pillow.


message 8: by Chris (new)

Chris Gager Somebody out there LOVES "Flowers for Algernon" - it shows up on so many lists!


message 9: by Luke (new)

Luke It's good to know that the book people on this godforsaken website want to most "snuggle" with normalizes the eradication of disabled people. Knee jerk naysayers can google Francesco Clark and argue with him about my statement, and then pay me $20 for educating them.


message 10: by Cendaquenta (new)

Cendaquenta *was also severely disappoint about the inclusion of Me Before You, fwiw*

I like how the title is only "wanted to snuggle". Physically hugging books isn't something everyone does? :p


message 11: by BookLovingLady (deceased Jan. 25, 2023...) (last edited Mar 29, 2018 12:01AM) (new)

BookLovingLady (deceased Jan. 25, 2023...) It says in the description: "Have you ever read a book that left you with a big smile on your face and a warm, sort of fuzzy feeling in your heart?" Yet The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is on this list...

It is beyond me how this book can leave a 'big smile on your face and a warm, sort of fuzzy feeling'. Do voters realize this diary is not fictional!? And there are 21 voters at the moment...! As I said, this is really completely beyond me.

Good point. There are a lot of weird people on this site.

It's really a wonderful book. I read it so many years ago but it still stays with me.


message 14: by Tammy (new)

Tammy I'm really enjoying this list--hours of good reading.
