Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme/original feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Click the link to go to their site to see the original list. This week’s topic is Top Ten books on my Winter TBR.
I think I’ve mentioned here in the blog before but I’ll say it again for emphasis, I’m a crybaby. Yes! I cry over almost anything, TV shows, movies, the little things that worry me, and yes, books! Especially books!
So today I’m going to list down ten books that made me cry. Of course it was agony to narrow my list down to only ten because I’m a crybaby and I cry over any book.
*clicking the cover will lead to Goodreads
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini – This book is just so great! There’s a chapter in this book that never fails to tear me up every freaking time I read it.
Allegiant by Veronica Roth – The ending made me ugly-cry for days! I don’t want to spoil you guys so just read it for yourself. But i tell you, prepare a box of Kleenex.
Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer – How could you deceive your readers like that, huh, Mr. Colfer? It was a great and mind-blowing plot twist but still, I feel like you’re toying with my emotions! 😀
The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks – Pretty much everything that has to do with Sparks makes me cry. Whether his books or the movie adaptations of his books. Heh. 😀
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins – After reading Mockingjay I quietly sobbed in my room, “Gale…. Gale… Gale… Katniss… Peeta..” Enough said.
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell – All the feels for E&P. One of the best contemporary novels I’ve ever read. And ugh the ending drives me crazy!
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green – Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who ugly-cried over this book.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Tough Times by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen – The only non-fiction book in this list and one of the books that saved my life. I think I was 13 or 14 when I read this, it was during the time my parents decided to end their marriage and being their daughter, I was caught between them. It sucks and I though I’m all alone, until I read this book and I realized that I’m not the only one having family problems in this world.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – It’s not even a depressing book but I really enjoyed reading it that it pained me to say good bye to the book.
Nobody but Us by Kristin Halbrook – The feels I have for this book is tremendous. I thought the ending was so sad and it still pains me up to this day when I recall how sad the ending of this book is.
So those are the books that make me cry. I’m interested to see which books made it to your list. Bring over Kleenex ad let’s discuss the books that always tug at our heartstrings! 😀
Books Keep Me Sane 
So many people added Eleanor and Park to their lists. I was not a huge fan of that book, but I can see why. Allegiant just made me mad- I also felt sad, but mostly mad.
Great list.
We share the same thoughts about Allegiant. But sadly we can do nothing about it.
SO many of these made me cry! Allegiant is the book that should not be named! I refuse to accept what happened in that book because it made me cry so much. It killed me!! Great list though!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
xo, Becca @Pivot Book Reviews
I was so miserable after reading Allegiant, I totally didn’t expect it to end like that. Thanks for dropping by 🙂
I’ve actually read most of these! A Thousand Splendid Suns was a really incredible book, very heart-wrenching. I need to read the last Artemis Fowl book, I totally forgot about it. The Fault in Our Stars actually didn’t make me cry because the ending is what truly hit me, but it definitely hurt my heart at times. .
You totally have to read The Last Guardian! I guarantee you it will be totally worth it! 😀
I’ve got A Thousand Splendid Suns on my list too. Such a sad book and I know exactly what chapter you are referring to 🙂
Yay! I love that book so much it hurts lol
Not only do I enjoy your list completely and sympathize with the TFIOS ugly cry, I absolutely adore that you used a Zooey Deschanel gif 🙂 Great picks!
Glad you like my list 😀 I love Zooey so much haha 😀
Allegiant, Mockingjay, Fangirl, and Eleanor and Park made me really emotional and sad as well! Nobody But Us looks interesting, guess I’ll have to check it out sometime!
Yes, please! I highly recommend it!
Great picks. Mockingjay made me cry, not sure how I forgot that one. I recently got Fangirl, but I’ve seen it on so many lists and now I’m scared. My TTT 🙂
Don’t be! You have to read it or you’ll miss half of your life! 😀
Allegiant is a very popular one this week! Ha, I love how you put Fangirl on here, it was pretty depressing to finish it because I loved it. Such a great list!
Well, the ending to Allegiant completely shocked me haha! Exactly how I fel for Fangirl, it was really good book though 😀
The Fault in Our Stars got me teary eyed!
Me too ❤ Glad i'm not the only one 😀
Mockingjay made me sob so hard
No worries because you are not alone 😀
I was really sad to be finished with Fangirl too. I try really hard to avoid tear-jerkers, but I managed to come up with a list that left me a blubbery mess. You are not alone with TFIOS. That is the book that made me officially break up with John Green. No more ugly crying with him. Not gonna do it! Thanks for sharing! ~Megan
I’m told some of the books he wrote are not as depressing as TFIOS but I’m wary to read his others books…. I don’t want to ugly-cry again LOL. It hurts so much!
So many tearful books. Ahhh I forgot to include Mockingjay, that tore me to pieces. I actually had to put the book down in that one scene because I couldn’t stop crying.
Here’s our TTT
Doris @ OABR
Aww I completely sympathize … I wonder which part you were referring to?
I’ve only read Mockingjay on your list (it wasn’t pretty), but I’ve seen a lot of Nicholas Sparks today! I’ve only read Dear John, but I think my tears were more angry than anything.
I haven’t read Dear John… at least this prepares me for it! haha!
Oh, no! I have FANGIRL in my TBR! At least I’ll be prepared for the crying.
It’s not really a depressing book but I cried after reading it because it was so much fun to read and I was so sad it ended. 😦 I always feel that way when I read a really great book.
Haha, I’m a ‘Crybaby’ too 😀 The worst is that I do not only cry when books are sad but also when they make me really angry or when a series ends and I’m SO relieved when there is at least for some characters a happy ending 😀
There are quite a few books on your list that I haven’t read yet but I want to. Especially Khaled Hosseini’s books.
I highly recommend Hesseini’s books! Just ready your Kleenex though. 😀
I cryed my eyes out with The Best of ME and The Fault in Our Stars.
Me too omg those books are so heartbreaking
Mockingjay got me too! Haven’t actually read any of the other books on your list. Tried to read Allegiant a couple of times but just not feeling it!
My TTT
Aww Allegiant is pretty good, I hope you find the time to read 🙂
