OMG...😭😭😭
I sobbed all night and most of the next day!!


Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck. (scene where the young children are in the road side store/cafe, and they are looking at, and wanting but know they are too poor to even ask, the penny candy)
Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck. (the whole stinking thing is sad, dealing with poverty, true friendship, sacrifice, mental illness and the end)
The Adventures of Huck Finn, Twain. (scene with Jim, Huck and Tom at the end, where Jim is actually a free man, but they keep him hidden/locked up for his wellbeing)
Reading "Birdsong, by Sebastain Faulks" at the moment, and his wartime scene/descriptions have been very powerful and heart wrenching...so, there's been some close moments.


More recently, Kristin Dwyer's Some Mistakes Were Made and The Atlas of Us.

I read it a few years ago and still know how much my heart hurt the day I finished it


Also when Sandstorm died, when Dustpelt died, when Spottedleaf died, when Squeillflight got taken and during the badger attack.
Okay they were sad books
Also Lovely War by Julie Berry
