Top Ten Books that Broke Your Heart a Little (or A LOT!!)
This weeks Top Ten, hosted by The Broke and Bookish, are books that broke your heart a little. I went with total instinct on this one and listed the first books I thought of. I think a book that breaks your heart also leaves a lasting impression. I don't think there is much I need to say about these books. If you read them then you know why they broke my heart. If you haven't read them then I don't want to spoil anything for you :) Happy Valentines everyone!!

So glad to see someone else who chose Still Alice. That was definitely a book that stayed with me long after I read it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie Sophie’s Choice and it was so so heartbreaking. I guess the book is even more sad.
ReplyDeleteOh, I also had The Road on my list. When I was making my mental list, The Bluest Eye came to mind, but when I finished up the list on my lunch break I totally forgot to include it. Oh, well! Love your blog's title.
