@Guddu Marissa Meyer
Oh. Thankx! Now i can add it to my t.b.r ?
the fault in our stairs? never heard of it
an why u reading sad books anyway ?
u must wanna end up lonely an depressed en end yur life I guess
cause sad books sometimes not all bit some lead tae suicides
I’m not suicidal :p But thanks for your concern. I read a variety of different books.
Wow
who said i was concern @Jennifer?
I personally like when a book (or movie) makes me feel something. It doesn’t have to be all happy endings to be enjoyable.
If someone was thinking of ending their life, I would hope that would be concerning to you. ? Sometimes people like to read sad books, to feel the emotional rush that comes along with it. That person is not me lol.
I don’t do sad books, well not intentionly ?
Liane Moriarty’s books have a definitive sad streak. I think the husbands secret and truly madly guilty would do.
Thanks for the warning – guess I’ll avoid those!
If I Stay, young adult. Better than Fault, in my humble opinion!
U mean better then ‘The fault in our stars’?
Yes, that’s what I mean. They are both YA and I think If I Stay is better than Fault In Our Stars. 😉
? I’ll definitely read it!
Have you read Bright Side by Kim holden? I personally found it way better than TFIOS ?
I have not, but I never run out of space on my TBR list! Haha!
My Sister’s Keeper, Marley & Me, Sleepers, A Child Called It ??
Yep, that’s a depressing list. Lol.
There is no way I could ever read Marley and Me.
honey baby sweetheart, the ending is sad but a bit bittersweet. not totally soul crushing sad
I’m reading this book now about a young girl who suffered cancer, using her own diary entries etc. It is sad, moving, emotional and comforting all rolled into one book.
anything Nicholas sparks or Richard paul evans
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. It’s really good and really sad
The Road
Me before you. ??
All the Bright Places, by Jennifer Niven. I actually don’t like reading sad stories, and started this one not knowing it did not end well. Still enjoyed it though! It’s well written, and although sad, was not depressing.
Old Yeller
Apart from all listed above, I would recommend reading “How I Live Now” by Meg Rosoff. Many people criticize this book, but my own Grandma who survived war cried while reading. It means more to me than any Goodreads opinion
Bright Side by Kim Holden. I personally found it better then T.F.I.O.S ?
Sounder,The Book of Negroes,All My Puny Sorrows,Room.

Slammed-Colleen Hoover
Say Goodnight, Gracie-Julie Reece Deaver
