1001 Books for Every Mood

Not a book you sit down and read cover to cover--rather, a book for browsing through, and pleasant enough for that. I used this to add to my reading list. There are very brief summaries of each book, a helpful "literary merit" rating, and nice icons indicating whether the book is a page turner, family friendly, challenging, etc. I wasn't sure I trusted all these icons when I saw that [The Road] by Cormac McCarthy was labeled "humorous," but perhaps it was a typo and she meant "brainy" or, possibly, "cannibalistic." Overall, fun and useful.

The first half is very well-picked and offers a lot suggestions, the second half though is very specific without that many.

I am still using this book as a reference guide ... Love how Hallie gave us her thoughts on so many books for whatever we are in the mood for ... Great book to flip through, tag the pages you like, and go back to again and again! Thanks, Hallie!

Every bibliophile should have a copy of this book on their shelves. Just an excellent compendium of what to read based on your mood. I want the second edition!

Pure booky goodness. A lovely little book about books to read on a rainy day. Or, you can use it for its main purpose, matching a book to your mood.

Yum.

This is a great list of books ! The author decided to include a mixture of fiction and non-fics in this list which can really inspire the average reader ! Also the fics that were chosen is a nice mix of Classic and Contemporary . Almost every genre is represented for adults and children . Highly Recommended !

This is a great list of books. I've always liked books more when they evoke emotions or actions from me when I read them. The books from this book certainly do that and more. There's a book in this book for everyone.
