We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is a Thanksgiving Freebie!
I wasn’t sure what topic I wanted to do for this year’s Thanksgiving freebie but then I thought about the feeling I get when I think about the things I’m thankful for and that made me think about the books that made me feel that way this year. When I think of the things I’m thankful for I feel warm, fuzzy and just full of love and appreciation, so I decided to highlight ten books I’ve read this year that made me feel that way.
I guess in a way, it’s kind of similar to last week’s topic with the “aww” feelings but since I went rogue last week, I’m not repeating anything—*phew!* 😂 On that note, let’s get to these books… I’m listing them based on reading order with the first being the most recently read!






Don’t Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
Off the Ice by Jaqueline Snowe
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
Everything for You by Chloe Liese






A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Chef’s Kiss by Jarrett Melendez
Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Blackout by Various Authors
Heartstopper Series by Alice Oseman

I’m going to add two bonus audiobooks here because I absolutely *adored* them and these stories made my heart squee!

A Thief in the Night by KJ Charles

Seatmate by Cara Bastone
What books you read this year gave you the “warm fuzzy thankful” feelings? Have you read any of these books and did they make you feel the same as me?

OMG YES to Hart + Mercy. 100% warm fuzzy feelings. Loved it. Also got the warm and fuzzies from In a Jam, and Georgie, All Along (even though I’m still reading that one.) Great choices, Dini!

Books are indeed something wonderful to be thankful for! I sometimes wonder what I’d do without them. Becky Chambers’ books are favorites of mine, although I still need to read the Monk and Robots, and Legends and LAttes is honestly getting so much buzz I now want to see what’s what!

Honestly, I don’t read an awful lot that makes me feel warm and fuzzy? My usual go-to genres (historical fiction and fantasy) don’t lend themselves well to the warm and fuzzies! I’d say the closest I get to warm and fuzzy is humorous memoirs, I’ve read a couple of those this year, the most recent being Lauren Graham’s Talking As Fast As I Can which was so much fun!

Oh yeah, historical fantasy isn’t the warm fuzzies 😂 But there are some great fantasies that give me those vibes. I don’t read a lot of NF but I can imagine humorous memoirs would do a great job in making readers feel the warm fuzzies.
