Top Ten Tuesday: Cry me a river

 

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

TOP TEN BOOKS KLEENEX SHOULD SPONSOR

I read to escape. To live several lives without having to leave the comfort of my living room. How could I pass up emotional reads?




10- Harry Potter and the Deadly Hollows

Too many loses and secrets revealed. It was the first time I ever had to control myself not to skip to the ending.

 9- The Kite Runner

They say people cry out of frustration. Well, this book made me tear with anger. How could that little boy be so mean to his friend? Argh! It still gets to me now.

8- The Fault in Our Stars

 I dare anyone to read this and not cry.

 7- On the Jellicoe Road

 Not sure if this book will make other folks list, but the subject is too close to home for me not to feel the character's pain.

6- Before I Die

Beautifully written. Not only dealing with dying from cancer, but also mother/daughter relationships and accepting that even though you are gone others will continue living their lives.

5- The Lovely Bones

Although the murder scene is shocking, the saddest part of the book is watching her father helpless.

4- If I Stay

This was in my top four last week (how weird is that). Losing her entire family -- too tragic to simply swift through the pages.

3- Wonder

A little kid being bullied for his appearance. The Halloween scene got me plucking the Kleenex box.

2-  Frostbite

The mother and daughter moment at the end. There is something sad when you see a strong character cry.

1- Twenty Boy Summer

 Not having anyone to share your grief with.
