Once I started thinking of books, I just couldn't seem to stop.
Everything, apparently, seems to make me cry.
For a tidier, Top Ten list, take a look at this post from 2010.
Did I forget any books? Are any of these your favorite books-that-make-you-cry?

The Lovely Bones had me crying - a lot. I've read a couple on your list but generally don't enjoy sobbing while reading.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Sherry. Not sure exactly why I've read so many sad books.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a list. I need to check out some of these books.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly a long list.
ReplyDeleteHah! I've only read two of these. I'm not a big crier for books, although they do give me the feels.
ReplyDeleteSeveral on here that I totally agree with and even more that I've been meaning to read for a long time (like Between Shades of Gray!)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big crier, either. Or so I thought....
ReplyDeleteLots of good books on this, whether they make you cry or not.
ReplyDeleteAutomatically I was going to say Where the Red Fern Grows but now I see you have it on the List. Maybe you could add: Me Before You and The Diary of a Young Girl / Anne Frank. But you got a good list.
ReplyDeleteCheers. http://www.thecuecard.com/
Where the Red Fern Grows. Sigh. I love that book. I just decided that I am going to reread it now. My list is made up of cry-worthy books I've read since the last time Top Ten Tuesday had the same topic. So many of my books aren't as well known. Thanks for the masterlist!
ReplyDeletebtw,
You asked if you could Pin my Your Teachers Love... holiday decoration idea in my library. Pin Away! (And, I might add, kids are checking out the books, which makes me happy!)
Anne@My Head is Full of Books
Such a great idea for a library...teachers' favorite books with hearts on them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a long list!! You must cry as much as I do! :-)
