Top Ten Tuesday: Heartbreakers

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this week's topic: Top Ten Books That Broke Your Heart.

1.  Shanghai Girls by Lisa See - this is the saddest, most depressing book I've ever read.  Honestly, it was a bit too devastating for me (although I love her other novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan).

2.  The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - holy crap I cried when I read this book!

3.  The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I know a lot of folks have yet to read this...so all I'll say is that yep, tears fell whilst reading this fantastic novel.

4.  The Postmistress by Sarah Blake - any WWII book is likely to be a tearjerker and this one did not disappoint.

5. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro -you must ready yourself for depressing thoughts (and have some Kleenex handy) when you read this book...it's a heartbreaker!

6.  What is the What by Dave Eggers - a book about the lost boys of Sudan...'nuff said.

7.  Still Alice by Lisa Genova - get ready to cry when you read this one!

8.  The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons - talk about a tragic romance - this about ripped my heart out of my chest cavity...several times!

9.  Delirium by Lauren Oliver - the ending devastated me!

10.  Habibi by Craig Johnson - a very tragic graphic novel...yet hope somehow prevails in the end.
