The topic for this week's Top Ten Tuesday at The Broke and the Bookish is the top books that made you cry. I sort of pride myself on the fact that I'm not a very weepy person and it takes a big emotional punch to cause the dam to break and the tears to flow, but I was able to muster up a few stories that made me run for the tissues.
Books That Made Me Cry:
Tearjerker On My TBR List:
A few years ago when we were living in Hawaii, I went next door to borrow something for some cupcakes I was making and my neighbor answered the door with tears pouring down her face. Why? Because she was reading this Holocaust novel.
Book-Based Movies I've Seen Recently That Brought On The Tears:
"Lone Survivor" is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, but beware: it can be a bit tough to watch, particularly if -- like me -- you have a military spouse or family member who has deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq.
I so thought this was going to have a happy ending. Nope. It's horrific.
I was going to add The Art of Racing in the Rain to my list, but it has been a while since I read it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!! Here is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2014/02/top-ten-tuesday-books-that-will-make.html#comment-form
