Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish
The topic of this week's top ten is books that broke my heart a little. The following is a list of books in which I cried, some a little and some quite a bit.
1. The Iron Queen by
Julie Kagawa – I love the Iron Fey series with a passion, however the end of
the third book make me cry so bad. Thank
goodness for The Iron Knight!
2. A Walk to Remember
by Nicholas Sparks – I don’t think I have ever read a Nicholas Sparks book
without crying, I think he sits there finding a story that guarantees tears galore. Anyway, this is the first book by Sparks that
I read and I cried really badly. The
ending just broke my heart.
3. At First Sight by
Nicholas Sparks - Honestly, I must like crying because I keep reading his
books!
4. The Friday Night Knighting
Club by Kate Jacobs – Good Lord! I
read this book after two friends recommended and it was great, but I cried so
much that my husband came running thinking I was hurt!
5. New Moon by
Stephenie Meyer – Needless to say I felt just like Bella! I was so sad when Edward left, still this is
my favorite book in the saga.
6. The
Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder – I absolutely loved this book,
but the ending, even if expected, was still heartbreaking.
7. Daughter
of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor – This was my pick for best book of
2011. Such a beautifully written book
with a unique story, I hope Karou and Akiva get their happy ending (eventually
of course).
8. Linger by Maggie
Stiefvater – This book made me so sad!
When Grace started getting sick I was just so… well, sad.
9. Dust
& Decay by Jonathan Maberry - Not only did I cried with this book,
but I cried while driving since I was listening to it!
10. Harry Potter and the
Deadly Hollows by J. K. Rowling – To be honest I cried the book before when
Dumbledore died, but in this book there are so many good witches and wizards
that died that I was probably crying on and off for a good while.
Well, that’s my list.
I can’t wait to read yours, please leave me a comment and a link to your
post.
I cried when Sirius died in book 5. I was devastated! :(
ReplyDeleteDaughter of Smoke and Bone was SOOOOOOO good!!! I had that on my list too! Here is my Top Ten
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a lot of these books, but I don't like to cry, so that's probably why :-)

Yep HP and Probability of Miracles made my list too. I love the movie a Walk to Remember, I haven't read the book and probably won't, but still a damn good tear jerking movie.

Deathly Hallows made my TTT list week as well. I have Friday Night Knitting waiting to read- didn't think it was going to be a sad read, though!! I keep reading great things about TPoM- will have to check it out.

Thanks for stopping by. I cried like a baby from the forest scene on in Deathly Hallows. I also cried at Shell Cottage too. So heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to get round to The Iron Queen, but now I'll be sure to keep a box of tissues close by! And I haven't read At First Sight, but as it's a Nicholas Sparks book I'm already accepting the fact that I'd cry whilst reading it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Daughter of Smoke & Bone was one of my favorites of 2011, too. I should have seen the ending coming, but I totally didn't. And it made me so sad. :( I'm hoping to get to the Iron Fey series, soon, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, The Probability of Miracles! As soon as I am caught up my review books I really want to read that one. It seems so so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! :)
