A book that has me genuinely cry would have to be It All Started With an Apple by Ashley Winters!

I always cry when I read "Rilla of Ingleside", the last book in the Anne of Avonlea series

The only book that has ever made me cry was "A Walk to Remember." It was one of the best love stories that I have ever read and I would love to go back and read it again.

The one that sticks out in my mind is David Baldacci's One Summer. Very different from his usually mystery/thriller. I cried like a baby by the time I'd read 50 pages. Love his work.

Maybe it's silly but I just read a book called One Hen to my kids, and it now tops children's picture books on my list. I was tearing up when the boy in the book overcame his situation and was able to help many other families. But then I cry at a lot of books.

The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson made me cry because of how much she loved her sister. The intense grief she feels is so real. Pandemonium also made me blubber like a baby at the end for no identifiable reason. I've read books with sadder endings and managed not to shed a tear. Why Lauren Oliver, why?

Yes I have cried at books and i believe that's normal. Anyhow, the book that made me cry was Freak the Mighty. I cried like a baby and I've kept my copy of it ever since.

By far, the book that made me cry so many times for so many different reasons is Long Walk To Freedom by the late, great Nelson Mandela.

The final book in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. The series is amazing, I highly recommend it to anyone who is into secret agents, but be prepared to get extremely attached to the characters and be completely rocked by the events of their lives.

There is usually something that gets me going in most books. Every emotion I have it directly linked to my tear ducts anyway, so it doesn't take much for me. Having said that, The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger had me in a full fit of ugly cry. I had to keep putting it down, take a few breathes, wait a while, and then come back to it. It was a good book, and other than how confusing it was to read and keep up with the time travel, I recommend it.

Most recently (as in today at lunch, parked in my car under a shady tree), A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Stuffy nose, drenched cheeks, the whole bit! Strangely enough, it had me grinning from ear to ear at the same time. Can't recommend it highly enough.

The unforgettable book I ever read that I really cried.
Kira-kira by Cynthia Kodohata
It's actually a book report during my highschool.
It's about family. Maybe I could relate in the story since I have sisters.
It really made me cry. I recommend this book to my sister, who also loves to read, she cried too.
HAHAHA.

It's a very touching and sad story. There are lots of regrets. Lots of "I should have done this and that"..

Anything written by Nicholas Sparks. I get so attached to the characters in his books.
