The 52 Book Club: 2025 / 2026 Challenge discussion

WEEKLY CHECK-IN
July 16, 2022 -- Week 29

Last week we chatted about the last book that made us laugh out loud. So we thought a decent follow-up discussion for this week would be, "What's the last book that made you cry?"

I enjoyed " Reminders of Him " by Colleen Hoover . The book centers around a mother fresh out of prison as she tries to win her young daughter back. The book is emotional, romantic, and just a great book.

I don't cry often at books but I do remember crying at Where the Red Fern Grows when I was in Jr. High. I may have cried at When Breath Becomes Air but I don't have a memory of that.

I had the romantic cute tear up for Beach Read but the last book to really really make me cry was Don't Cry for Me

Listen to the Child by Elizabeth Howard made me SOB for DAYS.

I'm not a crier, but Colleen Hoover's books are tear-jerkers. Love them.
Last week I read My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren. She is my go-to author for humor. This book was very witty and snarky, but one part had me with tears in my eyes.
So this book counts as both the last book that made me laugh out loud and cry!

The last book I cried for was The Sparrow
