Okay, here is a short blog post excerpt focused on the “surprising joy” aspect for the specified books:

Heartfelt tested: Best books for точно “surprising” joy*

Finding literature that delivers an unexpected jolt of joy is a rare and wonderful experience. These aren’t books that promise sunshine on every page, but rather subtle treasures that burrow into your thoughts and leave you slightly brighter for encountering them. Several recent releases fit this description beautifully.

Consider “I Wish You All the Best.” While its title might evoke gentle well-wishes, the surprising joy stems from navigating the unexpected twists and connections between a seemingly disparate cast. Then there’s the minimalist yet profound resonance of “I Wish You More,” where simple phrases unfold into resonant thought bubbles of encouragement and existence, offering quiet moments of pleasant surprise.

On a perhaps more confrontational note, the defiant spirit captured in “If You Regret It, So Be It” celebrates taking a messy, authentic path forward. And for a wildly visionary take, “I Wish You The Best With The Saint You’ve Chosen Volume 1” combines bizarre worlds and pop-culture nods to deliver performances that hit you over the head with surprisingly earnest emotion, leaving a refreshingly strange sort of joy behind. It’s this diversity in approach that makes the quest for truly surprising book joy so rewarding.
