Thursday Thirteen: 13 books that WRECKED ME
So, I just finished a book that fairly destroyed me (Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill). To the point where I had to call my PIC Bells, totally snot-sobbing, to cry and whine and discuss the MAJOR PLOT ISSUE that nearly killed most of the people that read the book. And this got me to thinking: there have been a lot of books that have gotten to me like that. Seriously. A lot. Which is a good thing. It’s a mark of a really good book if it can pull that kind of emotion from me. If I’m crying (especially snot-sobbing), screaming, or laughing so hard I’m crying, it’s a freaking awesomebook. So this week’s Thursday Thirteen is a list of books that have in one way or another completely wrecked me – whether it be by making me snot-sob on the phone to my besties or by wrecking me for all other books for weeks on end because I’m certain there’s no other way any other book can top the book I just finished.
1. Snot. Sobbing. Phone. Call.
2. Couldn't read anything else for WEEKS.
3. Emotional wreck for at least a week. Possibly longer.
4. I threw the book across the room. Literally.
5. I re-read this one at least once a year but it makes me cry every time I do.
6. I cried for days after reading this the first time. (Book is WAY BETTER than the movie.)
7. I read this one while I was deployed - and walked around like a zombie after I finished it. Cried SO HARD.
8. Is it really any wonder I have 2 Megan books on the list? Another book where I was an emotional wreck. I still can't re-read this one because it affected me that much (although it is one of my favorites).
9. One of my favorite Shiloh books ever.
10. I had to set the book down at one point & walk away because of a certain scene. It's powerful, haunting, and will rip your soul in two. This is one of my favorite books of all time.
11. This book ruined me for all other books for weeks. Didn't think anything else would be nearly as good.
12. This one is another one that has a scene where I had to get up and walk away. Such a haunting scene, but a beautifully written book.
13. This entire book ripped me to shreds. I cried almost the entire time I read it.
What about you? Any books wrecked you lately? Which ones?
