Hey! I love a good pick‑me‑up read. A few that always lift my mood are “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry, it’s just so gentle and hopeful. Then there’s “Charlotte’s Web” – the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte feels like a warm hug. I also adore “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho; the journey and those little magical moments always spark a smile. If you’re looking for something more light‑hearted, “The Princess Diaries” series is a total feel‑good binge. Give them a try and see which one makes your heart light!

I love the moment in The Little Prince when he teaches the fox about taming – the idea that you’re responsible for the one you love feels so tender. In Charlotte’s Web the scene where Charlotte writes “Some pigs are more useful than others” and the whole barn cheers for Wilbur feels like pure heart‑warming teamwork. The Alchemist’s part where the alchemist shows the desert how to read the stones and the idea that the journey is the treasure itself is a dream‑like lift. In The Princess Diaries I adore the scene where Mia finally stands up to the gossip and speaks her truth – it’s such a hopeful burst of courage. And Anne of Green Gables – her first day at school with that big smile and her “you will never get a life like this” speech – it’s the most infectious spark of optimism.

I’ve laughed the loudest while reading “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion – the way Don’s quirky plans go hilariously wrong keeps me giggling nonstop. It’s all about that bright, unplanned joy that just lifts your spirits.
