Oh. My. Gosh. Apparently a lot of them!
I wanted to share these with you, because I think it's amazing proof of the emotional power of books--even commercial fiction. In case you're looking for a good tearjerker, here are some great ones:
- the everafter, the last song, in a heartbeat and a few more that i don't remember haha
- The Book Thief. I was crying like a baby.
- Also, @RobinMcKinley's PEGASUS made me cry weepy girl tears at the end.
- If I Stay. Had me crying 20 pages in.
- i got all misty-eyed at the end of Delirium.
- I couldn't finish Twenty Boy Summer because I sobbed so hard I had to stop
- Night by Elie Wiesel
- How about Melissa Marr's Ink Exchange? That one was really angsty and good.
- when i was younger, the first time I read Speak & Go Ask Alice, they made me cry
- Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr was really good too, though not a tearjerker. Tell Me A Secret had me in v. angry tears. So good.
- 13 reasons why didn't make me cry exactly, but it did make me rather emotional
- Between Shades of Gray made be cry, debut coming out March 22nd. Fantastic book though
- Oh, SHIVER also made me cry!! Oh-so-much!
- OH. @HannahMosk's Invincible Summer had me BAWLING. Oh my gosh I rarely cry that hard in a book.
- I wasn't expecting Jellicoe Road to affect me so much. I did cry when I finished the last HP though, because it was over.
- Anne Tyler's Accidental Tourist just KILLS me every time.
- Delirium definitely made me cry .. pretty sure The Sky is Everywhere did as well
- i am number four made me cry
- As You Wish by Jackson Pearce made me cry. The Forest of Hands and Teeth; Looking for Alaska; Mockingjay; Harry Potter 7
- I'm Not Her by Janet Gurtler that's coming out in May (I think) is a bit of a tear jerker too. But a fantastic book.
- Delirium made me cry too!!!!
- I also cried when I read Sing Me to Sleep...
- The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
- er, not that Some Girls Are is really a romance...but it DID make me tear up. Often.13 minutes ago
- The Chosen One and Hate List did. Though I was also v. angry too b/c of their circumstances.
- I'm a sucker for romances too. Also Catching Fire, The Sky is Everywhere, Shadow Kiss, Some Girls Are....
- anything by @SparksNicholas and of course the beginning of shadowfever by @KarenMMoning made me ball my eyes out
- One Day, A Blue So Dark, Nineteen Minutes, and Just Listen.
- Compromised by Heidi Ayarbe had me in tears. And Hate List by Jennifer Brown makes me so angry I cry.
- The Iron Queen, HP and the Half Blood Prince, I'm trying to think of others.
- I cried when I read yours, but probably because I was a wreck that day.
- Angel by James Patterson made me cry, but NOT b/c I was happy. I was incredibly ANGRY and depressed and frustrated.
- Burned by @EllenHopkinsYA, Deathly Hallows. Lots more.
- Jellicoe Road. And Before I Die. Pretty sure I used an entire box of kleenex each time.
- I only get weepy over Pride and Prejudice. :)
Have you read any of these books, and did you have the same weepy reaction? What other books have made you cry? I tend to avoid sad, sappy books that I know will end in tears. Do you enjoy that kind of experience, or do you stick to happier stories?
Hugs,
TLC
