Note: This time of year is always very busy for me. Last year, I hadn't really started blogging yet, so I was able to keep myself above the craziness. This year, I am. My blog is slightly inactive due to the holiday craze. Hopefully will return to the regular posting after the new year. :)

Top Ten Tuesday (1)


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome people over at The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's freebie week - where you can write about anything you choose - so I'm going with the Top Ten books that made me cry. I'm not the biggest person to really cry while reading something, so these books had something special to them. 

10. Without Tess

This one had a sad ending, but I only teared up. So, it wasn't horribly sad, but it was enough to make me choke 
up.





9. Bad Girls don't Die.

I'm not entirely sure why I teared up for this one, but I do remember doing it.







8. A Need So Beautiful

A little more than Without Tess, but still not too intense.
I did really like this book, and I felt really sorry for Charlotte. I can't wait for A Want so Wicked.






7. Deep and Dark and Dangerous

A lot of you probably haven't read this, but it's an awesome book. Teared up a little at the end. 
6. Across the Universe

Once again, mainly just choked me up a little bit. It's not a hugely sad book, but it has it's emotional parts.







5. Divergent

Another book that's not super sad, but did have so much grit and emotion that I think it'd be hard for me not to cry just a little while reading it.






4. Searching for David's Heart

Random one that I doubt a lot of you have read, considering it's really more MG and I read it when I was younger, but I cried a lot in this one. 







3. Before I Fall

This one's a pretty sad book. It didn't make me bawl, but I did have to wipe away a few tears during it.







2. Looking for Alaska

I cried pretty hardcore around the ending of this one. You might want some tissues.







1. Delirium 

Cried like a baby after I read this one. You'd have to read it to understand why.










What books made you cry? Tell me in the comments! :)

200 Followers? Thank you!

    So, I know I am a total nerd, but I saw last night that I had hit 200 followers sometime in the last week or so. And I might've squealed about it to my parents. And when they didn't get as excited as I was, I might've called them downers. They were happier for me once I explained that it was my blog, and not just my twitter. Haha.
    But I want to thank every single one of you. All 207 of you. Because I truly treasure everybody that leaves comments and just reads the posts.
    It's a happy milestone for me. I've not even been blogging for an entire year and I've got more followers than I thought I'd get in two.
    So, from the cheesiest place in my heart, I want to say thank you.

    And I will totally be having a giveaway, whether I go that signing or not.
