Many, I'll just comment on the most recent. For Whom The Bell Tolls and Water For Elephants. I have also cried because a book has come to completion.

Another vote for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Also, Love You Forever (yep, the children's book). I made the mistake of reading that one too soon after my son was born. :P

I don't easily cry while reading, of course I feel bad and think about it for days...but the few books that had me bawling like a baby had to be Taking Chances by Molly McAdams , P.S I love you by Cecilia Ahern, A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks and The edge of never by J.A Redmerski

I have cried in too many books to write down. It could be a sad or happy moment.

I definitely cried in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Today I was reading J.K.Rowling's character description of Remus Lupin on Pottermore and cried all over again. It brings it all back.

I second The Deathly Hallows! The Dovekeepers also had me in tears as well as The Hunger Games.

I don't usually cry from fiction I must say. Some sad music on film or tv usually gets me more. May change my mind about this one day..

Another vote for Deathly Hallows. I find anytime an author kills off one of my favourite characters I'll cry, tv shows are the same. I'm dreading reading the game of thrones series, I cried enough watching the show let alone reading about the characters and spending more time with them before they go

I've cried reading quite a few books. Two that top the list are The Rice Mother by Rani Manicka and Kaleidoscope by Danielle Steel. My heart feels heavy just discussing about them...

I'm not very emotional so books and movies don't normally make me cry I cried when I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M.Montgomery. Honestly it isn't extremely emotional or anything but I cried when Matthew died. I really loved his character and the way the author described it was pretty moving. I was pretty young at that time but I guess it had a significant impact on me.

A Cup of Friendship by Deborah Rodriguez is the most recent book to make me cry. It is impossible to not be touched by this story, you are immediately connected to the characters and their struggle. Rodriguez brings many real world issues into your hands and makes you want to take some sort of action to help those with stories like the people in her book.

I voted "yes", however I can't say that I have actually cried while reading a book. Before having a child I was never the emotional type while watching movies or reading. However, since having my son I get teary at just about anything. The only memory I can recall of getting a little teary-eyed while reading was at the start of the Hunger Games when Katniss volunteers for Prim. I immediately thought about how I would feel if my son's name was called and how I would do whatever it took to protect him. I think I got teary again when Rue died and Katniss paid tribute to her, again thinking about how it would feel to lose someone so young and innocent.

Allegiant from the Divergent Series definitely made me cry like a baby. The series was great up until the last book, when the unmentionable happens. Ugh!
