Sigh. Did you hear that? It's a loud sigh. the kind that erupts from deep down when we step back into reality after reading a book that made us forget it in the first place.
It has been long since I last posted. So I'll make this one good. I promise.
I decided to dedicate this particular entry to those books that hit us right in the feels. Meaning, the books that take us on an emotional roller coaster. They made me laugh, cry and relate. The books that made me feel like I was a part of them.
1. SLOTH by Ella James.
I very recently finished this book and it was that made me write an entire blog post just so I can talk about this one. Imagine it's perfection. The beginning is a bit sketchy but by the time you reach the end, you're clutching your heart and dabbing your eyes. Yes, it's really that good. Maybe I'm under the influence of the sheer incredibly of it so I'm leaning on it a bit more than others, but you'll be in my place if you read it, too. It's a guarantee.
2. Confess by Colleen Hoover.
It's not a secret that Colleen had always reigned over the list of my favorite authors. So it's obvious that no list of mine is incomplete without one of her books. Confess, it's a heartfelt, easily relatable story that leaves you rips and surrounded by shards of your shattered emotions. But as easily does she cause this emotional explosion, she fixes it back with more ease. This book has you gripped by the prologue.
3. Wild Card by Lora Leigh.
It's one of those books; the ones in which you need tissues to wipe off your tears by the time you reach chapter 2. Lora Leigh made me cry, gap in mock outrage, beg, laugh soppily and sing songs of appraisal when I read this beauty. She is undoubtedly a brilliant storyteller and this book is a true master piece. Though, I have followed up on all books in the series, this one remains the best and my personal number one choice.
4. The Consequences of Loving Colton by Rachel Van Dyken.
When I say that some books affect us, it doesn't always have to be sad. It doesn't always mean that they'll make you cry. This book, for instance, is absolutely hilarious. Seriously, it's a riot. So it's a definite worth read. Especially if you want to freak people put by randomly bursting into fits of hysterical, uncontrollable, roaring laughter
5. Raze by Tillie Cole.
Another sad book. The story isn't hard to guess, really. But the way it has been worded is honestly hypnotizing. You can't just keep this book down. And when you're done with it, you want to read it again. You keep thinking about it for days that follow after you've read it. You just can't stop thinking about it. Is realistic, sad and touching. I thoroughly enjoyed my way to the epilogue. Thrice, if I may add.
6. Taking Chances by Molly McAdams.
I read this book a very long time ago. You can only guess how grand this book must have been if I still remember it. It's the story of chances, luck, date and masked emotions. It'll shell you off and strip you away of all emotional armor. It'll make bleed raw feelings. It's a piece of art, truly.
7. Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire.
I might have already mentioned this book on my previous posts but believe me when I say that is worth mentioning again and again. It probably gives a new definition to when I say "emotional roller coaster". It's such a getting, syrupy story that just cannot let you keep the book down for breaks. I suggest this especially to my Indian friends who love a spicy, dynamic story that isn't stagnant for long. It's a beautiful book, worth a thousand words of appraisal.
