I haven’t read many of these but I agree with John Green, his books almost all made me sob like crazy. 🙂
Great lists, happy reading!
Thanks Ula! John Green DOES seem to have a knack for bringing on the water works. BUT he makes me laugh a lot too so its an even trade.
The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska were both on my list too.
I just checked out your list. You have some good books listed and some new ones I will have to check out.
These are both great lists. Me Before You and Hopeless are both on my TBR list, guess I better have tissues handy!
Me Before You really got to me Kim. It was really hard to read. I did not expect it to get to me like that. It totally snuck up on me.
These are great lists and there are many books here that I have not heard of until now. I will add them to my wish list and look for them next time I shop for books.
Just be sure to mix them in with happy books too… don’t want you crying all the time Carol!
