Top Ten Tuesday: Tough Subject Matter

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. Apparently, they are overly fond of list-making and love to share their bookish lists with the rest of us book nerds.  =) We're game.

This week's topic is the Top Ten Books That Were Hard For Me To Read...because of the difficulty of the book, the subject matter, because it was cringeworthy -- however you want to interpret.

April's Picks:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - This one was tough for me because it takes place during World War II. It hurts my heart to read about stuff like that.

Good by S. Walden - This one wasn't necessarily hard for me, but I know that it would be hard for others because it deals with a teacher student romance.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma - This story has incest. Brother and Sister, and it's not sugar coated at all. It was an excellent book.

A Death Struck Year by Makiia Lucier - Spanish Influenza. That shit is scary. I couldn't stop thinking about what I would do if something like that broke out now. With a six year old... these types of stories scare the living shit out of me.

Me Since You by Laura Wiess - This book was so sad and depressing, it broke my heart.
