Stacy If you are looking for something and you have a box of Kleenex nearby, try Never Eighteen by Megan Bostic. Oh. My. God. I started it yesterday and had to stay up until I finished it just so I get all the tears out and not go to bed sobbing.

I think it will get compared to The Fault in our Stars because it's a teen with cancer, but that's where the similarity ends. It's a different approach to the story of being a teen with cancer and ithas a different tone, but it causes just as many tears.

And speaking of TFIOS...has anyone watched the movie? I loved the book and when the movie came out, I was afraid it wouldn't live up to the book so I didn't watch it. But I'm tempted...so any thoughts from someone that has read it and watched it?

Stephanie (shynotebooks) | 73 comments one of my fantasy books might make me cry but i'm technically saving that spot in this challenge for The Book Thief.

Crystal Caldwell | 36 comments I actually checked The Notebook out of the library today for this category. I haven't seen the movie, but heard it's a tearjerker, so hopefully the book will be as well.

Christina Webb (msbeefcake) | 32 comments There is a Christian Series called the mark of the lion
(im not huge in religion), but I cried through the whole series. Which is a big deal.

A Jewish girl in the fall of Jerusalem gets put into the arena and left for dead then sold to slavery.

A Voice in the Wind

Nicole (aggie44) | 79 comments Oh man, I read those back in high school and yeah. No idea if I'd still like em now... Without being spoilery, I mostly remember being really bummed that the third book focused on different characters than the first two.
