This our first time participating in Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish .
It's no secret that I am a total sap when it comes to reading books so I thought it very fitting that I share with you....
Top Ten Books That Broke My Heart A Little (or a lot...)
If I Stay by Gail Forman - Every page of this book broke my heart. I am honestly not sure how I am still standing.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - Beth March. Need I say more? Oh and really Laurie and Jo? Really?
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater - Not sure why but Sam's battle to keep his identity moved me more than I would have imagined.
Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas - Romance novels don't make me cry but this one DID break my heart a little. The classic tale of a footman falling in love with the aristocrat's daughter was told with enough intensity that I found myself holding my breath more often than not.
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - A story about teens and cancer. Beautifully told by the great John Green. Of course it broke my heart.
When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn - Michael is in love with his happily married cousin's wife. Unrequited love of course causes broken hearts. Particularly mine.
Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa - Oh Ash. Your entire quest to become human was heart-wrenching. 
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - Oh geez. Reasons this book broke my heart....Katniss, Prim, Rue, Peeta...should I keep going?
There you have it. Books that broke my heart. Now I think I need a tissue.....

When he was wicked is on my list too :) I'm adding the Gail Forman books to my TBR list. Lisa Kleypas should have made my list too. Her most recent historical--the end to the Hathaway books was very heart breaking. And Blue Eyed Devil was so sad too.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check those out! :)

The Fault in Our Stars is on my to-read list, but I'll be sure not to read it in public after all the reviews I have read saying what a tearjerker it is! :)
ReplyDeleteBETH!! Omg, yes, Beth March! Why did I not think of Little Women on my list. I agree 110% with you on that one. I also feel you on If I Stay and the Hunger Games! I think I need to read The Fault in Our Stars, it seems to be one that everyone loves.
ReplyDeleteChanceofBooks - When He Was Wicked is my all time favorite Julia Quinn :-) As for Lisa Kleypas, I agree that the two you mentioned are heartbreakers but my favorite is Married in the Morning (Leo Hathaway's story). I just adore him.
ReplyDeleteKell - Definitely Do!
Kristina - Don't wait any longer on If I Stay. Although you may want to wait until you have a evening alone a full box of tissue.
Smallgirl - Tfios is definitely a tear jerker but it also has a lot of smart funny moments.
Darlene - Right? I read that book so many times as a teenager and I cried every single time I got to that part. Didn't matter that I knew what was going to happen.
Thanks everyone for visiting!
