So lets go onto books! please tell us what book made you cry! but if you say why, please make sure you insert the spoiler thingy!

This book made me cry! :'(


(view spoiler)[When the young girl died, because she was ill, and thinking that her parents may still be alive (hide spoiler)]

The Book Thief

I cried so damn much at the end. I'm not telling you why. You'll have to read it to find out. :p It's on my top 10 books list, I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I don't know why I cried with Tehanu. I swear that I cried every ten pages, and I couldn't read.

I also cried with The Shadow of the Wind, which is a beautiful story, with very, very sad moments.

I cry at a lot of books

The first book I cried at was (view spoiler)[ where she dies at the beginning of the book (hide spoiler)]

I also cried at
(view spoiler)[ because I didn't want her to die and I knew she was going to and it was really sad. (hide spoiler)] Awesome book. Any other year and it would have been my best of the year but I read and that one just blew my mind.

Awesome topic BTW Tara =D

Thanks! :) i finally thought of a topic! lol

Vicky angel also made me cry!

(no more exams! yey)

Yay! Go you! =D

(No more exams = massive whoop. Let us know how you did.)

Hehe
(I will in august! lol)

(Lol, I know when you get results. I was just making it clear that I want to know. =D)

(oh right!lol :)_)

(lol) =D

I'm the kind of person that doesn't cry easily. I think that the first book that made me cry was Primavera en Natales (Spring in Natales, a book by a local author that probably isn't even translated to english xD) in sixth grade, and then I cried again with Dumbledore's death...like five years later!
I don't know why I've been so sensitive lately. Even Coraline made drop a few tears when I finished (!).

I didn't cry at Harry Potter. I liked the series but I never really got the hype that surrounded it.

Oooh yeah I cried at Dumbledore's death. I cried in Black Beauty as well when Ginger's being taken to be turned into glue.

I hated Harry Potter at first. I only started loving it with The prisoner of Azkaban, which is my favourite book of the series.

That's probably my favourite as well. I also liked Chamber of Secrets.

well, i may as well say one that may make people cry just so i can comment, or at least feel sorry its

I liked bawled at then end of Remember Me by Cheryl Lanham. Also at the end of A Walk to Remember, and True Believer by Nicholas Sparks. So sad! :(

Beastly; Dear John; New Moon

I'm ashamed to announce that I tear escaped my eyes while reading Frostbite.

Lol Jeshu. XD

All the Georgia Nicolson books make me cry... but they are tears of laughter and not tears of sorrow. Still, a book hilarious enough to make my laugh so much I cry? That's rare!

(Starts with Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging written by Louise Rennison.)

Also, Jeshu, you're almost certain to cry at the end of Shadow Kiss then! Even I almost cried there!

Oh man, first book that made me cry (that I remember) was The Last Wolf of Ireland. So sad!

More recently it was Inkspell and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The most recent book which made me cry is

The most recent book that made me cry is =( Fans of the series will know exactly why it made me cry.

. It's about the foot and mouth epidemic in England. I was about 12 at the time so I'm old enough to remember all the images from TV and this brought back all the memories. (view spoiler)[I was so upset when she had to kill her little pet lamb. :( (hide spoiler)]

The first book that made me cry when I was a kid was . I was really heartbroken - a book had never affected me that way before - my mum was a little bit concerned.

Now it's very rare that I cry at books but recently got me very close at one point.

and

These were amazing books that I swear I will never read again.

A few people have mentioned the Book Thief as a weepy one. Is it worth reading even if it's going to make me cry?

It is DEFINITELY worth reading. It's a very intense book. It's almost as if you know you don't like what you're about to "see" but you can't just look away from it.
The book is really gripping.
I recommend it, but be warned: You will cry your eyes out.

I second this. I gave The Book Thief to my mum a few years ago and she hasn't read it yet. I'm constantly hounding her to read it. It's a very emotional story and it's so well written that you get pulled into it all before you know what's happening.

I will add it to my 'to-read' list and make sure I have a big box of tissues at the ready when I get to it. :)

I'm reading The Book Theif now. It's a great book.

Wow great question; Beastly; Dead John; New Moon

Thanks, for saying its a great question :)

The most recent books that made me cry are and

Thankfully, these were all happy cries :)

I still remember the first book that made me cry. It was I bawled like a baby when my favorite character died!

The Snow Queen's Shadow
Uhh, it mades my heart bleeding at the last few chapters!

I have read 3 books that made me cry: , , and .

I couldn't stop crying with all of them they were brilliant books!!!

I want to read PS I love you and The Time Traveller's Wife but I have way to many books waiting to be read lol.

Gemma wrote: "I have read 3 books that made me cry: , , and .

I heard a lot of readers cried at The Time Traveler's Wife. I read her other book, , though and hated it so I doubt I'll ever read anything else by her.

"Sing Me To Sleep" and "Winter Longing"

The Notebook
Message in a Bottle
Nicholas Sparks always makes me cry. Can't wait for his new one to come out. He's just finished the manuscript.

These are the two that made me cry . I don't cry so much from books. came pretty close, too.

I do get misty eyed quite a bit, to a ridiculous extent. Happens in movies, too. I'm probably the only ditz in the world that gets misty eyed over action movies because it's so emotional when they finally kiss *sniff, sniff* (I kid you not).

Oh my goodness how could I forget A Walk to Remember!

okay, i'm going to have to read the book thief now!!

i rarely cry at books but these got me:



and the librarian read this to my class and i started crying...
it's a kids book, but this dog & cat are found after surviving hurricane katrina & they realize that the dog ended up saving the cat and they couldn't be separated. true story....(i'm not giving away the reason they found out about the dog....)

I read and loved it. There was one bit at the end that got me choked up. Then I read and didn't like it much at all - it's nothing like The Time Traveler's Wife.

A lot of Nicholas Sparks novels being mentioned here as weepies. I've only read one - - but I didn't really enjoyed it, which has put me off reading any others. The film of The Notebook made me cry though!

I shall consider giving it a go then. :) But I'm not sure whether I've heard too much bad about it (such as the relationship being presented as boarderline paeophilic as he's grooming Claire to be his wife as of a very young age) to really enjoy it. At least I know that Her Fearful Symmetry was just bad.

Rea wrote: "(such as the relationship being presented as boarderline paeophilic as he's grooming Claire to be his wife as of a very young age)"

Yikes, I've never heard that idea of it before. I can see how some might view it that way but because of the style of the story, flitting back and forth through time, I didn't feel that way and it never seemed creepy (unlike Her Fearful Symmetry).

Whenever a book gets really hyped up the reviews end up covering such a broad range of opinion I sometimes find it impossible to decide whether to read it or not, or, like you say, I get worried my enjoyment of it will be tainted, like I will be looking out for flaws other people have mentioned. I usually end up just doing it out of morbid curiosity, as I did with , to see what all the fuss is about. (There's a few hours of my life I'll never get back!)

Haha, don't read the rest of that series, I can tell you now that it's pretty bad. =)

Char wrote: "Haha, don't read the rest of that series, I can tell you now that it's pretty bad. =)"

I definitely won't be and that is actually really rare for me. I usually want to see something through to the end just to get closure but I can't bring myself to do it with the Fallen series. I can't remember another character I've ever disliked as much as Luce.
