The Fault in Our Stars made me cry like a baby. I don't typically cry when reading, but this one really pulled at my heartstrings.

I'm a softy so I easily cry but the most bawling I did must be with A Walk to remember by nicholas sparks. Hahaha! I remember taking breaks due to buckets of tears.

Another book that comes to mind is Where rainbows end/love, rosie by cecilia ahern. I'm a fan of the book but I still haven't watched the movie adaptation. Is it any good?

"Fly a Little Higher" by Laura Sobeich, mom of Zach Sobiech who wrote the beautiful song "Clouds" about going to Heaven as he fought terminal cancer. What an amazing story! It touched my heart and broke my heart all at the same time.

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews definitely did it for me. I could not read the rest of the series because it made me so sad.

I cried when I read "If I Stay" and "Where She Went". Very good books and a good movie to go with it.

Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom made me cry and so did a lot more. But the one that made me cry the hardest was Love Story by Erich Segal :( .

"Cry to Heaven" made me cry for sure. Experiencing life through the eyes of a gay man from that time really spoke to me. Living gay myself, it was very interesting to see the differences in time, and part of the World.

Oh my gosh, you are so right "The Shack" had me in tears days after reading it and "Perks of Being a Wallflower" was so good I had to keep reading through the tears!

Books that have actually touched my heart are most likely the harry potter series(which are by far my favourite) and books by Barbara Taylor

i have to admit i do not recall the first book that made me cry but i recall the one that made me cry the most.
it was ''The age of miracles by Karen Thompson walker'' and what made me feel so emotional was the overall feeling of a society that had lost hope of a future...having to live with days of over 12hrs of sun light and night without end it easy to imagine just how easy would be for a person to lose they minds.

Gosh, where to even begin on books that made me cry. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was a big one with so many characters gone! Let's see, "My Sister's Keeper" made me cry like a baby. I mean the ending was just devastating for me; however, they completely changed the ending in the movie. Also, "The Guardian" by Nicholas Sparks had me weeping for like a week. His earlier books were better tear-jerkers in my opinion. That is just three of many books that got to me.
