What’s the saddest book you’ve read recently?

(Is any body getting bored with this series of “recent” questions? Because I’m having fun!)

    Oh! Oh! Me! I love when my recent favorites apply to the weekly question. Here’s mine fr Homer and Langley! http://iwriteinbooks.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/btt-tear-jerker/

    Not a tear jerker, not a particularly sad book, but managed to strike an emotional chord anyway:

    Yes, I’m bored with this series. 🙂 I haven’t answered a BTT since July 9. But it looks like I’m the only one, so carry on — I’ll just keep checking every week til a question comes up I am interested in.

    I like the questions, but “recent” is starting to get further back for me! Can’t wait to graduate and catch up on my reading…

    Thanks.

    I’m not getting tired of the ‘recent’, it is just, for me, it is hard to find anything from this year.

    Not really a tearjerker or anything but I thought some of the circumstances were quite sad.

    Sometimes it’s hard to come up with a book that fits the meme as being recently read. How recent is recently? Love the memes though

    […] in BTT, books, etc at 8:49 am by alitareads This week BBT asks: What’s the saddest book you’ve read […]

  49. alitareads

    I went a little ways back, but this one is definitely a tear jerker: BTT

  50. Rose City Reader

    This was an easy pick for me because we revisited the topic at book club last night. http://rosecityreader.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-sad.html

    I’m ambivalent about the “recent” questions. I’m a little bored with the them, but on the other hand, I like that the answers are quick. And who am I to complain wen someone else does the work and comes up with an idea for a blog post for me every week? So, thanks!
