April at Good Books and Good Wine came up with this fun challenge. I’ve been seeing it pop up all over my reader so I knew I had to try my hand at it. You can check out the full details here.
Day 5: Recommend a tear jerker
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Cancer, death, crappy family situations, and trouble fitting in all make for a sob worthy story. It didn’t help that I read this on the way to my Grandfather’s funeral.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
It’s a story about the Holocaust that’s narrated by DEATH. I was just a sniffling mess by the time I finished the book. I was also a bit too depressed to properly discuss the book for class.
Feel free to share your tear jerkers or link me to yours!
The Cheap Reader 
I love tearjerkers. If a book can you cry, you know it’s well-written. I cry EVERY time I read The Book Thief. I just teared up reading the final chapters of “Everfound” (third book in the Skinjackers Trilogy), even though I’ve read that before, too. I usually get kind of sniffley at the end of Jane Eyre, and just thinking about the ending of A Tale of Two Cities makes me weepy. Oh, and the Time Traveler’s Wife… pretty sure that one makes everyone cry.
Very true. It’s really hard to truly connect with characters enough to be moved to tears.
I can’t remember myself reading any single book that would make feel so sorry for someone’s destiny that I would weep or be near to that condition.
So I def. going to try one of these two to look if I just have never had such book or if my heart is made of stone ^^ I hope for second, lol
Wow, you must be tough! They’re both fantastic books even if they don’t make you cry. 😉
