Top Ten Nine Characters Everyone Loves But I Just Don't Get or Ten Characters I LOVE But Others Seem To Dislike

Top Ten Books I Found Hard To Read

I was never one for crying over a book until my beloved mama died nearly 2 years ago. Ever since then I seem to have developed a talent for choosing books I know I'm going to struggle to read purely because I know they will turn me into a sobbing mess. Here are the books that have done exactly that.

The First Last Kiss - Ali Harris

Second Chance Summer - Morgan Matson

Top Ten Tuesday #40 - Books That Will Make You Cry

Top Ten Books That Will Make You Cry

So, apparently every other book I read makes me cry... Even books that are probably only meant to make you a tiny bit sad have me sobbing, I have no idea why as I never used to be a reader that cried over books but apparently now I am. Here's the top ten books I've read that made me cry everything from a few tears to complete sobbing teary mess, plus three books I own but haven't read yet know are going to make me cry. Interesting side note! Of the ten books I've read seven have been made into movies, most of which I haven't seen - obviously including TFIOS which hasn't been released yet!
