Yesterday I began posting my annual best-of series of posts, which I’ve dubbed The Emoji Files, since I group my favourite reads of the year according to the emotional impact they had on me. It all started yesterday with the Swoony Awards, so if you missed that, make sure you check it out here.
Today, I’m giving you the reads that ‘Got Me in the Feels’. These are the books that made me really emotionally invested in the story, sometimes to the point of tears (sobs, in at least one case!). Stories of consequences and difficult decisions, stories of loss, stories of transformation, and stories that just plain had my emotions in a tangle!
When I Close My Eyes by Elizabeth Musser (read my review) Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese (read my review) In Spite of Ourselves by Jennifer Rodewald (read my review)
Start With Me by Kara Isaac (read my review) When I Lost My Way by Jennifer Rodewald (read my review) Dawn of Vengeance by Ronie Kendig (read my review)
Fragments of Light by Michéle Phoenix (read my review) The Medallion by Cathy Gohlke
Great list of books! I read The Medallion in 2019. It was the best of the best that year. I recommend it all the time.
The only one I read from this list is The Medallion and I agree, lots of feels. I loved it.
