Any recommendations of books to read on Tisha B'av? I usually read a holocaust book or similar. Can be something available only in a Jewish library or in the secular library. Asking now so that I have time to get it in case it's not in the library and I have to put in a request...

The Harp was good, also touched by their tears and just one more tear by R Spero.

The Harp.
Leah Gebber's book on the churban, forgot what it's called.
The first third of Song of Redemption, the rest after chatzos.
Princes Among Men about the kedoshim of Mercaz HaRav.
Many Holocaust books, even if you'll tell me that ArtScroll et al are sanitized, they're still so painful.

May you not need this list.

I know it's been mentioned already but a third time is chazaka
A song of redemption by Zechariya Hoffman. She writes beautifully and it reads like a novel, not heavy at all.

I have Song of Redemption but haven’t read it yet.

Is it too pleasurable for T Bav?
Does it have too much Torah content?
