Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I couldn't help myself the tears just started pouring. My roommate walked past my room and said "ooo you got to that part." There are a few other that made me tear up light Night by Eli Weisel.

I tend to cry with lots of books, I just get so absorbed into the story lines that I'm as emotional as the characters if the story is well written. Rebecca Donovan Breathe series was one that really got to me.

Reediming Love by Francine Rivers. It is such a phenomenal book. I cried, cried, cried, and then cried some more. I highly suggest that if you havent read it-- DO IT!!!! Also, My Sister's Keeper. Wow. What a phenomenal book. Rivers of tears!

Latest Review: "Fleeing Eden" by Trisha M. Wilson

Post by Laurencbosch »

For some reason I cry at the end of almost every single book I read, particularly the ones I get really in to. I guess I just get really upset when I get done with a book because I no longer get to hear about those characters who have somehow become a part of my life. I know that seems weird but I just get so into books that it begins to feel like the characters a real people. It doesn't help that the ending of most good books is so profound and epic.

But other than at the end of almost every book I've ever read, I balled my eyes out for about an hour when I read Bridge to Terabithia.

Wow! There was this one book in particular, which I now truly, forgot. Only thing I can remember is that I cried, it was so touching, definitely an experience book reader like me.

Oh goodness I've cried every single time I've read it! Hedwig, Dobby, I know it's coming both times yet I still get misty eyed. Not to mention the mass of deaths after the final duals. :cry:

I cried in the final chapter of The Heir; I got so invested in The Selection series and when I didn't forsee the ending events happening, the waterworks began.

Honestly, I cry over every single book that I get even slightly invested in. It doesn't matter if the ending was happy or sad, I always cry. I think I just cry because it's over.

I cry all the time in books, I can't even start on a list. I cry from happiness, or from sadness...as long as I feel connected with the characters in some way in the story, and something really emotional happens, then I'll cry. The last book I cried while reading was "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and before that it was "The Unknown Americans" by Christina HenriQuez.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. This was the best book I have read in a very long time.

A Child Called "It" made me cry so much! The things his mother did to him were terrible. One of the saddest most remarkable books I have read to date.
