Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's post is the Top Ten Books That Broke Your Heart A Little.
Alright, this one's difficult. We all know I'm not a sappy romantic (even though I like a little bit of romance). And I don't want to give away the book's plot by listing what I'm going to list. Therefore, I'm not going to go into detail on my books. Also note that a lot of my picks aren't full romance (refer to above explanation as to why I can't come up with 100% romantic novels for this list).
1. At First Sight by Nicolas Sparks
|
Pretty much any book by Nicholas Sparks could fall into this list. But I picked this one because it is one of the few books out that there that references the syndrome I have. Wondering what syndrome that is? Go read the book to find out.
2. Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
Infernal Devices Series, Book 2
My lips are very tightly sealed as to why this broke my heart. But honestly, almost any sort of book 2 ending that this book could have had would have broken my heart.
|
3. The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen
This is World War II book that I highly recommend you read. I loved this book, as sad as it was!
|
4. The Forest of Hands of Teeth by Carrie Ryan
A zombie book that broke my heart? With my personality, of course!
|
5. If I Should Die Before I Wake by Han Nolen
Another World War II book that broke my heart. It's a great book!
|
6. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Hunger Games Series, Book 3
Again, my lips are sealed. But there were so many parts to this book that broke my heart. At the end, I had was all, "Woah!!!" and deep breaths...
|
7. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Another book that makes you cry your eyes out. But it's a great book with a wicked secret.
|
8. My Soul to Keep by Rachel Vincent
Soul Screamers Series, Book 3
Yes, this one broke my heart. This is the last one in the series that I read. And after this ending, I'm afraid to read the next one.
|
9. A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young
The whole storyline of this book breaks my heart. I really can't wait for the next one to come out.
|
10. Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
Vampire Academy Series, Book 5
Honestly, the last three books in this series broke my heart. But they were so awesome!
| 
It's difficult to post titles on this list without giving a little away, I think. I hate to read sad books, but I also think they are more real than books with happy endings.

ReplyDeleteI personally hated The Forest of Hands and Teeth, but I seem to be just about the only one:P
I finally found a list that has Richelle Mead's books. A few different times these books broke my heart.

We are in agreement about several of these! The Forest of Hands and Teeth? Just, yeah, ugh. That book -- delicious torture!

I've seen alot of Vampire Academy books this week...I am currently in the middle of the first one. Can't wait to see what makes them so heartbreaking...I'm a sadist that way.
