The book you like most discussion

I need rec for books that are devastating and tragic and have a strong meaning

Ok so my suggested book is awesome but it’s YA reader but you won’t be disappointed I promise. THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE by Kate DiCamilo. Please read and let me know your thoughts.

These ones are so sad:
- The book thief by Markus zusak
- sunrise on the reaping by Suzanne collins
- night by elie weisel

The Lovely and The Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. YA book.

saving Noah

Daughter of the moon goddess duo books by sue lynn tan. Any book by her has me happy and sad crying at the same time. Def hits my feels.

Ashleigh's Diary by Joanna Campbell is one of the saddest books I can remember. It's YA, about a girl whose parents own a breeding farm and a disease in the area spreads to the local horses and her life falls apart. There is a lot of strength in this book on acknowledging tragedy and still finding the hope to move on.

Paula by Isabel Allende is so sad it needs a disclaimer. It's a memoir, based on the real life daughter of the author who fell into a coma. The first half of the book is when the doctors thought she might wake up and just not remember things, so her mother (the author) was writing down her and the family's history for her, and the second half is after they realize she will never wake up and it's a mother's desperate writing about her life and her love to a child who will never read it. It's genuinely heartbreaking and one of the best books I've ever read.

This is the 1st book that popped in my head. It was so sad.

Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins is the only book to have made me properly cry.
The book itself is amazing, but the ending is so very unexpected yet so expected simultaneously so that I felt as though I didn't want to read on to the part where I knew I'd get upset :(
The impact was great, I've never seen it used in other books, but then again, I seldom read sad books 📚

it's general book tuesday with morrie

A Thousand splendid suns

the Midnight Library by Matt Haig made me cry

A Little Life (hardest cry of them all)
Me Before You
The Nightingale
The Way I Used to Be and The Way I Am Now

I just listened to The Correspondent on audiobook and it evoked so much emotion. I'm almost 50, and the protagonist is 78, which makes me wonder how younger readers would read it.... I just know that it moved me a lot and was one of the more emotionally evocative books I read this year.

Any war novel. Last Rites by Ozzy Osbourne. (Huge fan) The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood

Haven is for real …😓😢

The Kite Runner.
Goodnight Mr. Tom.
A Monster Calls.
All the Bright Places.

I honestly never read a book that made me cry but I have read plenty where I felt sadness or that happiness feeling where it's just so overwhelming that you feel all the emotions.

I never expected a Stephen King book to make me mist up, but Lisey Langdon's reminense of her husband's death in slow motion did just that and is some of his most powerful writing. Lisey's Story is King at his best.

BOOYAH!!!
