Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! Today I’m talking to you guys about the books you want to read when you’re in the mood to cry. Let’s get started…
1. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
This story begins with a car crash, and it only gets sadder from there. Despite it’s sad nature, it really is an amazing book with a heart-wrenching story. Forman is an amazing writer that brings this interesting world to life and drives readers to tears.
2. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Niven really knows how to hit a reader when they are down. She gives you so much hope throughout the entire novel, and then crushes you at the end. Another truly amazing and inspiring story that I think many people need to read.
3. Allegiant by Veronica Roth
I know a lot of people didn’t like Allegiant but I found it to be a really interesting satisfying ending to the series. It wrapped things up in a neat, yet unexpected way that left me, as well as other readers I’m sure, grabbing for the tissue box.
4. The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
This is my go to book whenever I’m at the beach and just want to get lost in a story. It has the saddest tale, but the best ending. And honestly, when is a Nicholas Sparks’ novel not going to break your heart.
5. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Fun fact: I didn’t cry the first time I read this, but I bawled the second time. Dumbledore’s death really gets to you when you let it sync in.
6. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I’m pretty sure I tweeted the moment I finished this book because it absolutely shattered my heart. It’s an amazing story about a young girl growing up during World War II and how the occurrences during the time effected her development. It really brought me in to the war from a little girl’s perspective and taught me how fortunate I am to have grown up in the world I did.
7. Looking for Alaska by John Green
I’m pretty sure this is the only John Green book that made me cry, and I don’t even think I cried that much. If you don’t already know, this is a story about finding adventure and what to do when you lose it. One of Green’s most inspiring novels in my opinion, and one of the saddest.
8. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
There’s something about the end of a series, tying up ends, and breaking reader’s hearts. I won’t ruin the ending, but Collins quite blatantly destroys readers at a young age (considering these books are written on a fourth grade level) and shows them the true horrors of what the world can become and what it means to be “fair”.
9. The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
I feel like I read this when I was much too young, and it really taught me the meaning of moving on when it’s the hardest thing to do, but the right thing to do. It’s all about a man who falls in love with a young girl but time travel keeps them apart, even when they are together. It’s an intriguing and heartbreaking story.
10. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
It’s a story from a dog’s perspective about a man who is his best friend. It’s a powerful story all the way through about the friends we take for granted with a massive punch at the end that shows us that sometimes friends to come to us in the least expected way.
What are your favorite sad books? Let me know in the comments below.
Happy reading,
Kimberly

I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across
a blog that’s both educative and engaging,
and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The
issue is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.

Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps
everybody else encountering problems with your site.
It seems like some of the written text in your posts are running
off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers

Really great choices for this week! If I Stay was very heart-wrenching, and so were the other books on your list. I have yet to read The Book Thief but I’ve heard really great things about it. 🙂
My TTT.

Hi Kimberly,
Nice list!
I want to read many books of this list too! Still have to…
My choices of your list are:
– ‘All the Bright Places’ written by Jenniver Niven
This time I skip the Divergent series because I want to read series at once, every sequel after sequel.
– ‘The Last Song’ written by Nicholas Sparks
– ‘The Book Thief’ written by Markus Zusak
– ‘Looking for Alaska’ written by John Green
And ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’ written by Garth Stein makes me curious. That one is going to my TBR list for later.
Greetings by Sophie
