This week's topic: Top Ten Books Dealing With Tough Subjects
Ok, so wow. Fun stuff, right? :) But when I sat down and thought about it, many of my recent favorites have been books that push the emotional envelope a little bit. Or a lot.
Some of these I plan on talking about in a future post, some of these you'll just have to trust me. Email me, text me, track me down in the carpool line and I'll be glad to talk to you about them one on one -- but when faced with a blank page and a cursor...I can't find the words. At least not today.
As always, click on the title for more info.
Nice list. What did you think of Forbidden? I've heard alot about it, but I'm not brave enough to read it yet. Thanks for sharing! New follower. =)

LOVED LOVED LOVED Forbidden. Probably the toughest book I've ever read, but Tabitha Suzuma handles the topic perfectly. If you decide to read it, definitely let me know what you think!
DeleteOff to check out your Top Ten **dust cloud**
These are some of my favorites too, but I'd add Laurie Halse Anderson's SPEAK and WINTERGIRLS. Both amazing (and tough) reads, but essential for teen girls.

DeleteI've seen most of these on lots of lists today. I guess that means I better read them, huh? I do love TFIOS (who doesn't?) and JELLICOE ROAD. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan :)
DeleteGreat list! I'm a big fan of many of these. I've been dying to get my hands on Me Before You, but the wait for it at the library is insane.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT list
Me Before You is definitely worth the wait -- it has been my favorite read of the year, so far :) Can't wait to go check out your list!
DeleteMe before you, I forgot that one, great choice, it broke my heart! AMC, TRW and JR are all on my wish list :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever get over MBY -- my favorite read of the year, thus far <3
DeleteFault in Our Stars was a tear jerker, but one of my all time faves. Recommend it to everyone. I'll have to add the others to the gigantic "to read" pile.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think! Me Before You and Forbidden are amazing - especially for such taboo subjects
