Has anyone signed up with Caboodle? It's a book site. Today they emailed about books that made readers cry.

To Kill a Mockingbird was first. Many of the responses mentioned The Book Thief. I wept all through the last few chapters.

The first book to make me cry was The Grapes of Wrath. I've had pupils crying at the end of Of a Mice and Men.

I've just finished A Tale of Two Cities. Another leaving me choked!

I remember reading Mitch Albom's - "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" one Christmas day, I spent the afternoon curled up and weeping on the sofa!

I have just finished reading "A Life Discarded" by Alexander Masters. It follows Alexanders journey to find the author of 148 diaries found in a skip in 2001.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more of his work.

I loved that Mitch Albom book. Thanks for reminding me of him. I must seek out some of his other books:T.

A Life Discarded sounds just my sort of thing. I'll check if my library has it. Thanks:)

I have read all of Mitch Albom's books ,some of which I bought in NYC when I was there in 2007.briliant writer I love Tuesdays with Morrie. The Five People You Meet In Heaven was bought for me when I went to Blackpool several years before that with an OS 'MSE meet'.The lovely Caterina bought it for me and I think every one of my family and friends have borrowed it and read it and all of them loved it Fantastic book and highly recommended to anyone.
Am reading 'Pop goes the Weasel' by M.J. Arlidge at the moment a bit grisley, but interesting.

I'm another who enjoyed "The 5 People You Meet in Heaven" and "Tuesday's with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.

I've just finished "The Secret Life & Curious Death of Miss Jean Milne" by Andrew Nicoll, based on an unsolved murder in Broughty Ferry in 1912. It was a most enjoyable read. I haven't picked out my next book yet.

This sounds right up my street, I will add it to my wishlist.

I'm currently reading "The Minotaur" by Ruth Rendell (writing under the Barbara Vine name) - I'm finding it hard work to be honest!
