No book has made me cry because I am not one to let my emotions out like that. But I have read books that soured my mood.

I am yet to meet a book that has made me cry. My shelves are relatively new so perhaps it's only a matter of time before I find one.

The latest book that made me cry was The Little Prince. Also I cried when I read The fault in our stars, The perks of being a wallflower (my all time favourite), The notebook, Message in a bottle. Harry Potter and the deathly hallows made me cry too when Fred, Tonks and Lupin died.n

Two books that reduce me to tears every time I read them are Bridge to Terabithia and Where the Red Fern Grows.

Many books have made me immensely sad, but a book that has left me sobbing is Wonder by R.J. Palacio. This book is both heartwarming but also incredibly sad. Although I would definitely recommend this book, if you do read it get ready for a cry.

I don’t recall a book that has ever made me cry. I mostly read mystery/crime books . Although certain self help books and memoirs make for a tear eyed reader .

That was kinda funny! I liked the books I read for my degree, although I think many others don't! I wonder if would be hard for a fiction writer to write a textbook? Probably makes for boring writing, unless one likes that kind of a thing!

Alex: The Life of a Child made me cry, several times. It's about a little girl with cystic fibrosis and there's something her dad does near the end of the book in memory of her and that is when I lose it. Otherwise, it's easy to read and it is informative regarding the disease without being too technical. I got a little teary eyed just thinking about THAT ONE PART again...

Hey really if a fiction writer wrote a textbook it would be nice to read isn't it. Don't get me wrong I love my subjects but the things which is different is you are pressured to study. But with reading yiu do it leisurely. 🥺😂

They probably would be interesting, but in some cases, it would be really hard to work all the facts into a story without the story detracting from the facts. I would think, anyways!
