Top Ten Tuesday is a great meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish!
Top Ten Books I Had VERY Strong Emotions About:
- A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer – this one made me yell and pump my fist – the ending is PERFECT.
- Here be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman – The love story in this book is the most powerful love story I’ve ever read. It made me cry, and it’s so worth reading to find out why.
- The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey – Laughter, lots and lots and lots of laughter. One word: Unicorns.
- The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise by Julia Stuart - This book has such a quiet humor, it amused me enough to make me laugh in my car for five minutes straight (I was sitting in carpool reading!)
- The Twelve by William Gladstone - I threw this book across the room. It disgusted me.
- Wicked by Gregory Maguire – I was so sad that I couldn’t bring myself to like this story – because I LOVE the musical so very much.
- Room by Emma Donoghue - When I finished reading this book I couldn’t pick up another for two days. It moved me deeply, but I didn’t cry. It just really affected me.
- The Arrival by Shaun Tan – Picture books seem so simple..but the pictures in this one tell the whole story so poignantly it’s impossible not to be completely moved.
- The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt - This book is so funny and touching at the same time. The perfect read for both kids and adults.
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - Who doesn’t cry at Beth’s death? You’d have to be a hard person not to!
Do you have any to add to the list or any thoughts on the titles above? Have you read them? What do you think?
