I'm just going to list these and they aren't in any special order. Tear Jerker movies are some of my favorite kinds. They are jam packed full of feels and I just love them. If a movie can make me cry then it's a great one! So here's my list. 

1. Me Before You  - I cried so hard during this movie, though I knew I would, so I had tissues with me. Like four packs! 
2.  Fault In Our Stars - Another one that I knew before hand would have me crying like a baby. Thanks to the amazing book, I brought tissues for this one too. 
3. The Outsiders - Again because of the book I knew I'd cry. This one is one of my all time favorites! I re-read this book every year and watch the movie! 
4. PS. I Love You - Seriously, spoiler alert don't read this next line if you haven't seen this movie. One of my favorite actors dies in this movie, that alone makes me cry the rest is just a movie that kills me everytime. I love this movie! 
5. Ladder 49 - This movie is one I will never forget. It didn't help that when I saw this in the theater I was married to a fire fighter and had been a fire fighter myself for several years. Basically this movie made want to stop being one and just take care of my kids.
6. Bridge to Terabithia - Do I even have to explain this one? Like seriously I don't want to even think about this movie because just thinking about it makes me tear up. Another one of my favs. 
7. The Best of Me - This movie is one that makes you fall in love with the characters. I cried so hard at the end. Even though I knew it was coming! 
8. Man On Fire - I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie over a hundred times and I still cry every time! 
9. Where the Red Fern Grows- I haven't watched this movie in a long time and it's because I know I'll cry my eyes out. I had to read the book when I was younger and I cried so much. 
10. A Walk to Remember - Most of you know this movie and know why it's on the list. Another fav of mine though. I just watched it the other day. Oh and they added it to Netflix, not sure it's still on there but I watched it a few times when it first was added. Amazing movie full of feels. 

So there you go, 10 amazing feel worthy movies that made me cry. Love them all! I think if I put this list in order though Bridge to Terabithia and Me Before you would tie for number 1.  Hope you all have a great Tuesday!!

Top 10 Tuesday: Books On My Fall TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.   It's mainly a topic based top ten posts where I'll be answering the question and showing off some books.  So if you would like to know more about this meme, CLICK HERE. 

This weeks topic is On My Fall TBR List, so below are the 10 books that are on mine. These are in no certain order, but I will start with the one I'm reading right now.

1.  The Hush Hush series has been on my TBR pile for years. This upcoming month one of my goals is to finish two series. This series is the one I have started with.  I just finished Hush Hush and have started Crescendo. So hopefully I can finish this whole series! I love reading Angels and the like during the fall, just seems like the perfect time to do so.

2. The Fallen series by Lauren Kate is another one that's been on my list for a long time. I've read book one and two, though I'll have to re-read them again since I want to finish the whole series. I have the first three on my shelf already, so I'll be reading them soon!

3. So every year about this time, I like to re-read the whole Harry Potter series, yep I'm adding another series to my lovely list! Who else does a re-read of Harry Potter every year? I know I'm not the only one.

4. The Lucky Ones by Nicholas Sparks - This is another book that's been on my tbr pile for some time now. The reason I'm picking this one to add to my lovely fall list is mainly the colors on this cover! I love them and they look fallish to me.

5. Metaltown by Kristen Simmons - Another fallish looking cover, plus I just got this beautiful book and I'm dying to read it!

6. The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan - Another fall looking book, but I've been wanting to continue reading this series for awhile, so I think it's time!

7. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins - Another type of book that I like to read during the Fall is books about witches, so Hex Hall is one that I've been wanting to read for awhile and I would love to get to this one this fall.

8. Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger - Yet again another fall looking cover and one that's also been on my shelf for a few years.

9. Wicked by Gregory Maguire - Do I really have to explain this one? I love this story and have wanted to read it for awhile. I've seen it live now twice! I have a different copy than the one above, I have the Barnes and Noble edition, but I couldn't find an image of that one.

10. Sabriel by Garth Nix - Another fantastic sounding book that's been on my TBR list for awhile. I think it's time to get to this one as well.

So there you have it, my top ten list for today! It's rather long, but I think I picked some amazing books for the fall!

Ten Books I Really Love But Feel Like I Haven't Talked About Enough/In A While

Top Ten Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, it's one that I haven't done in a long time, but wanted to bring in some new content for you all.  It's mainly a topic based top ten post where I'll be answering the question and showing off some books.  So if you would like to know more about this meme, CLICK HERE. 

These aren't in any special order, but they are ten books that I love so much, but haven't mentioned in awhile.  They are also older books, but each of these have been reviewed here on Ali's Bookshelf. 

1. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows: I love this book so much and couldn't put it down when I read it.  It was one of my favorites of 2012.  It's a book that hooked me from page one and has never really let me go.  The story line and plot were one that I had never even thought of.

2. Everneath by Brodi Ashton: Another one of my 2012 favorites.  I couldn't get enough of this story line and the way that author Brodi Ashton told it. 

3. Fallen by Lauren Kate: This is a series that I devoured.  I read this whole series within a few days. It's the reason I fell in love with angel stories. It's becoming a movie and I'm super excited about it. I also want mention just how beautiful the covers are of this whole series.



4. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher: Now this book had me in tears, so much so that I went through two boxes of tissues.  I finished this book in one sitting. Now every time I see this book I want to cry, not because it was a bad book but because it was so good but so sad.

5. Article 5 by Kristen Simmons: I LOVE THIS SERIES! Plus author Kristen Simmons is so super sweet. This story just flows right off the page and you're dragged right into the pages.


6. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: Okay I haven't posted my review for this one yet, mainly because I have way too many words I want to say about this book for just one review. I can't get over how fantastically real this book is, but at the same time it brings back all the memories of all the video games I've played and comic books I've read.  So much Amazingness comes from this book.



7. Wentworth Hall by Abby Grahame: I wish there was more books for this plot.  This was one of those books that I wanted the story to go on and on, but sadly it ended.  The characters were so spectacular that I wanted to go live in Wentworth Hall myself.

8. Magician: Apprentice by Raymond E. Fiest: If you know my blog, you know how much I love Raymond E. Fiest's books.  They are some of my favorite books out there.  The world he created for this series is one full of lush imagery and fantastical beasts, that I can't get enough and I love reading over and over again.

9.Illuminate by Aimee Agresti: If you read my review on this book, you know how much I enjoyed reading it.  It's another one of those young adult books that suck you and keep you on the edge of your seat till the very last word. 

10.Don't Breath A Word by Holly Cupala : Now this book is one I don't think I will ever forget.  It's a realistic glimpse into the world of homelessness and what would/could happen to a teenager who was homeless.  The thing that hooked me so much to this book was how real it was, it felt like it was happening right there in front of my face instead of the pages.  I will never stop talking about this book.  I also never cried as much as I did reading this book.

So what books do you love so much but haven't talked about in awhile? I'd love to hear which books are on your list.
