Sadly, a book has yet to make me cry. I have felt deeply saddened by many boons but I have not cried before.

One book that made me cry like a baby and couldn't read anything else for DAYS was "A Thousand Boy Kisses" by Tillie Cole. Still think about that book at random times of the day. Surely is a 5/5 for me.

A book that made me cry was The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I absolutely love her books and was entranced by her writing that I was truly transported into the story.

Rachel Higginston made me SOB my eyes out at Five Stages of Falling in Love. It’s about falling in love while grieving a husband they loved. I’m married and it pulled at my heartstrings. It takes a lot to make me cry usually, let alone sob, so it’s worth a read! I never hear people talk about it and it deserves to be more popular. :techie-reference:

I am a big crier..... almost every book I've ever read has made me cry. I cry anytime someone is passionate or goes through a character arc that strikes me as really meaningful. I've got the waterworks gene.

Many books have made me cry actually. I cried a lot to the ending of Percy jackson and the olympians. I cried way more reaing the Heroes of Olympus series. Many emotional scenes in the books. And also while reading book called Korian; Ark of the fallen king. Idk why but the book kinda made me cry a lot during one scene I will never forget.

Harry Potter definitely!! The books are so powerful and the scenes in Deathly Hallows are so hauntingly beautiful and sad. I have also cried at some romance books, too many to count haha. I'm just a big crier and get very emotional when such scenes are well written.

The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak**, **"A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara**, and **"The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green**—all emotional rollercoasters that hit hard. 😢📖💔 What about you?
