TOP TEN BOOKS DEALING WITH TOUGH SUBJECTS
These types of books are heavy, which is strange because most of them have very few pages, and yet manage to bring us to tears. Here is my top ten:
Suicide
Illness
Sexual Abuse
Family Issues
Bullying
I have only read TFioS from your list, but several others are on my TBR. I have realized I don't really like sad books all that much though, as I had difficulties filling up my list today.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
Nice list- I love how you categorized them. I think TFiOS is on everyone's list, haha. Thanks for sharing! New follower. =)

I've read three of those, but I see my TBR growing with the ones that aren't already on there. :)

Gah I still need to read Hate List! I've put it on the backburner because after the recent Sandy Hooke shooting, I'm not sure I can handle that book right now. It seems that it would be good though.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Here's My TTT
It mostly deals with what happened after the shooting. Although I understand what you mean :(
DeleteAwesome books with a lot of powerful books.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I've sobbed at way too many of these!
ReplyDeleteYou have some that I haven't read yet. I really like the cover of Such a Pretty Girl.

Great List! I haven't read any of these but many are on my TBR. I have heard a lot about The Fault in Our Stars. I may have to pick it up this weekend. Thanks for stopping by my TTT!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT earlier. I can't believe I forgot about The Fault in Our Stars. Great list!

I have a heard of quite a few of those (and most are on my too be read list) but I think sometimes the message stays more powerful when the book is shorter so it focuses more on the issues at hand vs. expanding the story to fill it.. Thanks for posting this wonderful list.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I love how you have them split up by what the subject matter is. Good idea! This was the hardest week for me. I apparently don't read many issues books. Not sure if I should change that or not.
ReplyDeleteOoh, so many books I haven't read! I'm going to have to remedy that. Dead to You looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat list and thanks for stopping by my TTT!
