WEEK #401
(One Question.)
ASHFA asks: What are some of your favourite books that made you very emotional??
This is a hard question for me since I think I avoid emotional books. :-) I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy which may have emotional moments but that isn't the primary element. Looking at my "tags" the only ones with 'emotion' references are children's books.
I looked through my book reading lists while trying to think of a book to fit. One that was more recent is Christmas Eve, 1914. An older one is The Killer Angels. And a series that came to mind that evoked emotions for me is The Study Series by Maria V Snyder.
Then I remembered one that I will let be a favorite for this answer: Unwritten: A Novel by Charles Martin.
I'm very curious to see your answers!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Sue!!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time thinking of a book that moved me like that, I know a few have, but cannot recall them at this moment.
I read mostly romance; here have been many books I've sobbed thru!
ReplyDeletedon't get emotional when reading
ReplyDeleteThe Time Traveler's Wife. And I've read plenty of other books that made me cry.
ReplyDeleteErica Spindlers book Shocking Pink has a storyline that definitely made me emotional. So sad.
ReplyDeleteTHE BOOK THIEF had me teary eyed by the end.
ReplyDeleteInhaling the Mahatma was a good one for me. Shantaram about heroin addiction and again India was another. Both in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteSilence of the Lambs hit me very badly for weeks on end! I still get nightmares about this one.
I do cry at some very emotional parts in books, but not easy. A few of them are from Nalini Singh(Angel's Blood, Heart of Obsidian, etc), from Lorraine Heath, Ilona Andrews, Eloisa James and some others that I can't remember...
ReplyDeleteI know I have read books that make me emotional but I can't think of any specific ones.
ReplyDeleteSo how do we follow you? Through Blogger follows or what? And what is GC?
ReplyDeleteAs for a book that made me emotional, so many did, but Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult comes to mind first.
The Outlander books had me shed tears and get emotional quite a bit. There were also other books but I can't remember the names right now.
ReplyDeleteCarol Luciano
I'd say the Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses series have definitely done this to me. Some parts are heartwrenching!
