All of the three series by Ann Bishop, the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray and the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong have all made me cry.

When I read I tend to get quite involved in the story, but for some reason I have not cried. Yes I have felt emotions, chuckled, laughed out loud but not cried. Not until I recently read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. I felt all emotions possible reading this amazing book. Half way into the book tears where strolling down my cheeks. So yes, I have cried.

I think the first books that made me cry was The Outsiders, Charlotte's Web had me going, the Flowers in the Attic series.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but the movie did not have the same effect.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome made me cry from laughter.

Most recently has been "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. "Where the Red Fern Grows" still manages to get a tear or two every time I re-read it along with "Marley and Me."

I don't really cry much; I'm pretty insensitive. The book that brought me the closest to tears though was The Girl Who Could Fly

The Fault of our Stars. A couple of the Harry Potter books. Pride and Prejudice. Wuthering Heights. Princess Bride. I know there are more but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I just get too invested in the characters of the books.

Of course I've cried at books! I of course cried whilst reading The Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska. Also Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows *sobs* at the thought* and Allegiant. I cry at everything. Okay?Okay.

I tend to tear up in a lot of books. Especially in a sad or affectionate scene. Books I have down right balked in are The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Allegiant by Veronica Roth. My water works were bad for those books. I also tend to get watery eyes when I am really happy for a character. I get really into books. What ever happens in the book affects my mood that day.

Nor Meekly Serve My Time. I could only read very short bits at a time. Also Bobby Sands' Writings From Prison.

Fiction: Mercedes Lackey's Last Herald Mage series.
