Well one set of books that made me cry were Swan's Chance and A Season of Swans by Celeste De Blasis. But as I was thinking about these books, I thought why not find them again. I haven't read these books in such a long time, but they we so awesome that they have held their interest to me since I read them some 25 years ago or more. I found out that there was a first book called Wild Swan. I never read so I just order all three books. I love historical novels and these have to do with 100 years of American history and horse racing. They are the bomb of everything a book should be.

The first book that really made me cry is a french one from Quebec author Dominique Demers and the title is Là où la mer commence (There where the sea begin). It's a relecture of the Beauty and the Beast, but without magic. I've read the entire book in around 8 consecutive hours, reading through my high school day, and I probably cried for the last one. I would highly recommend that book.

Memoirs in general tend to make me cry, it seems.

I'm such a crybaby. I cried while reading a lot of books. I cried a lot while reading Mitch Albom's For One More day.

I don't cry when I read books. I may have cried when I read David Copperfield. But that might have had something to do with what was happening in my life at the time. I recently read a book that caught me off guard once or twice and I got choked up a little. But again, it may not have been just the book itself.

That was just you being so touched by my ability to display my characters' vulnerability. ;)

Yes I have cried while reading some books. Mirror image by Danielle Steele, throughout the Twilight series (don't judge lol), Hunger Games, Divergent Series. There are probably more but those are the ones off the top of my head.

"Bridge to Terabithia" is the first book that I can remember crying over, and I balwed like a baby. Also "Walk Two Moons." The most recent one I read that made me cry was "The Fault in Our Stars."

Two books that have made me cry were Where the Red Fern Grows (of course) and Allegiant. I absolutely LOVE when a book can make me cry. Yeah, it sucks to cry for any reason, but knowing that words can literally build a relationship with a fiction character then they die is amazing. Ugh! It's awesome!

Oh I most certainly agree with this one! Any book with animals dying, I'm a sucker for.

One book that made me cry was "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. The ending was just so tragic and heartbreaking to me.

I also have a tendency to cry at the end of the last book in a series.
