Books rarely make me cry, but I love a good sad book. I read The Sparrow this summer and my goodness. So tragic.<br /><br />I have a cool copy of Jude the Obscure and I keep meaning to read it. I definitely should put it on my nightstand to give it a little more priority.<br /><br />I've been terrible at visiting blogs lately so who knows if it's new, but I love the new blog look.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-12176786532347540002014-02-04T17:46:21.119-05:002014-02-04T17:46:21.119-05:00I don't know why I haven't read The Book T...I don't know why I haven't read The Book Thief yet - I think I must be the only one!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-22934024665412307082014-02-04T17:27:38.629-05:002014-02-04T17:27:38.629-05:00Yes, yes, yes!

I also cried during several other Anne books. <br />More recently, I took my paperback copy of The Hunger Games to the beach with me last summer. I was bawling on the beach! When my husband asked what was wrong, I could only manage "Rue!". That was probably my third re-read, not to mention multiple viewings of the movie.
