TOP TEN: BOOKS THAT BROKE MY HEART

Hey everyone. This week I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke And The Bookish. Every Tuesday  over at The Broke and the Bookish they post their top ten lists on various topics. They also have a designated Top Ten Tuesday page where they have previous topics and upcoming topics listed out as well.

This week's top ten is...

TOP TEN BOOKS THAT BROKE MY HEART (in honor of Valentine's day the topic this year is very anti 'love' but fun nonetheless)

1 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
This was the end to an amazing series but I have to say that Rowling did not end the series without plot twists that broke many hearts and shed many tears.

2 Fifth Business
This is one of the great books out there that I am glad I got to read. A story of lost chances and happy ending, even if it does not appear that way to us.

3 Charlottes Web
Who cannot love Charlotte, her web and Wilbur. A childhood favourite of mine, it is filled with warm unforgettable characters. The relationship between Wilbur and Charlotte is unforgettable and sad.

4 Death Of A Salesman
I first read this play in high school and it left such an impression on me. It's about broken dreams and broken lives. This was an amazing play that left me with a deep sense of loss.

5 Romeo and Juliet
A classic love story but also a doomed one. I was not sure I would like it but it really is one of the best love stories told.

6 Flowers For Algernon
A book that made me question what was true intelligence and humanity. It was incredibly sad and incredibly touching as most great books are.

7 Frankenstein
Mary Shelly creates such endearing characters that touch you. The ending was brutal and hard to take.

8 Tess Of The D'Urbervilles
The journey of a young girl who has terrible things happen to her. Great story that will leave you crushed.

9 Hamlet
A tragedy of epic proportions.

10 The Conte of Mote Cristo
Love, betrayal and a lot of heartbreak.
