Today’s Booking Through Thursday topic is “What’s the saddest book you’ve read recently?”

A few months ago I read The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. It was different from most books I read. Normally I stick with light topics, but when this movie came out on Lifetime, I knew I wanted to read the book.

I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would, but it was definitely emotional. I cried a number of times during the book and then again when the same stuff happened in the movie.

After reading this book, I remembered why I didn’t read sad, serious books. Working in the news business, I see sad and serious from the time I get there until the time I leave. When I come home and relax and read, I want it to be light and fun.
