Crying over books is a fairly often occurrence for me, but I think the first ever book that made me cry was this heart wrenching story of young love doomed from the start, A thousand boy kisses. More recently, I cried over Samyann’s Yesterday.

I've cried over many many books, one of my favorite books "The Host" makes me cry every single time I listen to it during one character death. Holocaust books almost make me cry too, "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" and "Night" being the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

One book that had me in tears within the first few pages was "The Art of Racing In The Rain." Such a good book but it made me cry several times while reading it.
