New Award!

Fill a Jar

An Empathy Award

Empathy

the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner also : the capacity for this

Mirriam-Webster

This award is for the book that made readers cry the MOST. This book can cause happy or sad tears, as long as there are enough of them to fill a jar!! This award is for the Empaths, The Highly Sensitive People, the people who cry when a character says they are proud of someone or says "I love you" for the first time. These books can change a reader's life by not only showing less sensitive readers what it is like to spend the day in a sensitive soul’s shoes, but also by recognizing the value in empathetic readers and showing them that they are not alone in their feelings.
