This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, as always hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, is “Top Ten Book that will make you Swoon”.
The definition of swoon is “to be overwhelmed by ecstatic joy” (or “to faint”, but I think I like the ecstatic joy thing better). So if you need a little more ecstatic joy in your reading life, check out these books:
1 & 2. Attachments and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
When I think Ecstatic Joy, I think Rainbow Rowell. It is impossible to not feel happy when reading her books. Things may go awry, but they always end up great. Her characters are amazing.
3. The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins
Ok, so I could put every Kristan Higgins book on this list, but I’ll stick with one. Though there is a lot of sadness in this book, there is also so much joy. I love the characters, the romance, the writing.
4. & 5. Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins.
While I have my issues with these books, they are adorable and sweet and fun. Ecstatic Joy-worthy.
6. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
This book is just so beautifully written. I’m in awe of it.
7. The Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout
Her writing is fun, her characters are great. You just can’t help feeling the joy with JLA books.
8. Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan
I just loved everything about this book. The writing was so witty and fun. Even though there were lots of unfortunate things going on for the characters, there were so many other times I just couldn’t keep the smile off my face.
9. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
Ok, so there are obviously trials and tribulations in this book, but there’s so much emotion as well. Warner definitely give me ecstatic joy in this book. And the fact that it ended the series so well!
10. I’ve got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
There’s so much adorable and happy about this book.
What books make you swoon?
I really want to read Unspoken! It looks great. Sophie Kinsella does write some wonderful swoon worthy books too.
You should totally read Unspoken! It’s sooo good. Be warned, though, only the first 2 books in the series are published so far.

Awesome! Putting all of these on my list! I pretty much devour anything by JLA, so I’ve read all her stuff.
Thanks! I highly recommend all these books! And I love JLA too! Lux is my favorite.
Rainbow Rowell does write some very happy books, I quite agree. Sophie Kinsella has a bunch of cute books, too. Good list!
