13 Reader-Approved Books That Will Make You Smile

"I usually read [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone] every year anyways, so at least it'll count for the challenge!" — Megan

"The Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner is one that always makes me smile. I can say 'always' quite accurately since I have read them almost every few years since I found the first one in grade school." — Xelly

"I LOVED listening to the Neverwhere audiobook so much that I asked for the author's edition for [Christmas] last year (and received it). So I could read that." — Nadine

"I'm going to go for Pride and Prejudice. I read it last year, but I'm looking forward to it again. Austen's wit gets me every time; I love the basic story-line of [Pride and Prejudice], and I adore Lizzie, of course." — Shannon

"I am a teacher, and I never fail to giggle and smile when I read The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak. The kids love to have me read it." — Lynette

"Haven't read [The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes] in years, and thinking of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Holmes and Watson will definitely make me smile!" — Elle

"It's just not one book but an entire shelf in my personal library that's devoted to re-reads, but the one that I can go over a million times is Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It's delightfully funny and inspiring at the same time." — Sonia

"Cold Comfort Farm for me; read it several times and does always make me smile." — Emma

"Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch!!! This book not only makes me smile, usually I'm laughing so hard I end up crying." — Steph

"I'm rereading The Help. This book never fails to make me smile. . . . Love books that transport you to a different time." — Nikki

"I'm going with Dirk Gently again. It's been a while since I re-read The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, so it's due anyway. I always smile through Dirk Gently." — Sofie

"I think I'm going to re-read To Kill a Mockingbird. . . . There are moments (the snowman) that made me laugh out loud even though the book has some deep themes. After I first read it in high school, I read it so many times that my Dad threatened to throw away my tattered copy if I left it laying around anymore." — Jette

Really, ANY Rainbow Rowell book will put me in a good mood, but I especially love Attachments. You can't help of have a grin on your face from cover to cover.
