Top 10 Books That Will Make You Cry


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.
