Feeling very blue. I need to read something uplifting. Suggestions please?
Class Mom by Laurie Gelman is laugh out loud funny.
That is a cute fun read!
If you like memoirs and comedy The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish had me cracking up.
Language warning though!! It’s not G rated.
I loved the 3 books in the The Dalai Lama’s Cat series by David Michie: The Dalai Lama’s Cat, The Dalai Lama’s Cat and the Art of Purring, The Dalai Lama’s Cat and the Power of Meow. Also a 5 book series by Richard Paul Evans, called the walk series, the books are: The Walk, Miles to Go, Road to Grace, Step of Faith, Walking on water They are both kind of inspirational series. I am not really religious but these series had great messages.
“Small Change” by Yandell was delightful!
Here If You Need Me by Kate Braestrup; But Enough About Me by Jancee Dunn; An Irish Country Doctor by Patrick Taylor; In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner; If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name by Heather Lende; A Beginner’s Guide to Acting English by Shappi Khorsandi; The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede; Ali in Wonderland and Other Tall Tales by Ali Wentworth; The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg
Love Patrick Taylor! Thinking of reading again. Miss those docs.
Also, “Summer at Tiffany” by Hart about a young girl in college working at Tiffany during the War II. She spent a summer in NYC, met movie stars, saw the end of WWII, it is a wonderful, uplifting book!
Miss Julia by Ann Ross, Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrick Backman.
The know it all by aj jacobs
Don’t know about uplifting but Dolls Behaving badly is really funny and good. (Not girls behaving badly)
The Luster of Lost Things by Sophie Chen Keller.
Thank you everyone! I’ll look these up.
I loved The Rosie Project. Made me laugh out loud.
Eleonor Oliphant is completely fine.
You must read furiously happy ?… or even better listen to the audio
Now that’s a title I can get on board with! ?
I have a hold on this one at the library. Can’t wait!
// nods // I read the book a couple of years ago … laughed so hard that I cried, stomach hurting, tears streaming down my face…. a couple of times tried to read parts to my husband and couldn’t because I was laughing so hard so I’d pass the book to him and then HE would be crying from laughing so hard.
Oh yea…. this will get you smiling – and more!
sounds wonderful. Hoping my library has it or I will be ordering today. Thank you!
This book just makes me laugh outloud and that is something I don’t do while reading.
Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin is meant to be good!
Brocksport–The Maynard Junebug Series by Janest Earnest. I dare you to be blue after reading this delightful series.
Anything by Sophie Kinsella
You can read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin ❤️❤️ I wish you all the love and strength to overcome this. ?
Thank you.
Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson
Any PG Wodehouse. Nothing better than a good dose of laughter, to make you feel better!
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. The Rosie Project.
In the same way… Which one of these will be least likely to just annoy me and rub it in? 🙂 :/
O gee I didn’t even think of that. The furiously happy is a about a women that suffers from depression and forces her self to go out and do stuff. I think it would be relatable for me at this point. We shall see
Where’d You Go, Bernadette? A Walk In the Woods.
The language of Flowers, shelter me, something by Elizabeth Berg or Barbara O’Neal
The Language of Flowers is a lovely read!
