I haven't had a book that I have cried with yet, but I am sure that my time is a-coming. :lol2:

I always cry when I read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Every. Single. Time.

The first book that made me cry was 'The Outsiders' by SE Hinton. The part when Johnny dies a hero ...I wept buckets!!

Oh my goodness that book is lovely and heartbreaking! I had to read it in my English class in high school and luckily had read before hand to cry it out. I had to try so hard to hold it back in class! I just love that book and the format it's written in.
Ohhh!!! A similar thing happened to me when we had to read ´´Noughts and Crosses´´ for my english class. I thankfully read it at home first, and cried throughout half the book. By the time we got around to reading it in class I had shread all my tears at home and had none left :)

I just read a book called War is Just a Word. I just finished the review, but it is not published yet. It made me cry several times while reading.

I have cried my eyes out while reading books so many times! One book that really put me on edge was "All the Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven. The book was so relatable to me and the people around me, It really gave me a sense of emotion from the heart and soul.

Another book that had made me cry was the classic, "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I felt as if I was in the book while reading it. It got me sad, happy and angry at the same time. It is definitely a book to read and it really gives a person a different perspective on life after finishing the book. Young readers specifically would have their views changed and I can say that from experience.

"Born of Legend" by Sherrilyn Kenyon is a book that I've recently read and I did not get over it for a couple of weeks. I cried tears of joy, agony, and betrayal. It made me go deep inside my soul and captured emotions that I didn't even know I was capable of feeling.

There have been several books that got the tears flowing. One of the biggest tear gushers was Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived by Ralph Helfer. The true story of the life long bond between a boy/man and an elephant. They were born the same day and not always together throughout life, but somehow, would find their way back to each other. Highly recommend it if you like a good animal story.

I have a fair few times. The most recent being the book I just finished, The Reel Sisters. I cried a couple of times reading it, first when Rose's daughter dies and then when Amanda dies. The death of children and parents in novels always sets me off. I think I can blame The Lion King and Bambi for first starting me off. I haven't stopped since!
