I can think of 2 times I cried because of a book. The first was at the end of Remains of the Day, where Mr Steven fails to tell Miss Kenton that he loves her. I don’t know why that gets me.. I suppose it completely confirms all the regrets he has about his life. The second was in the Half Blood Prince, when Dumbledore died.

Basically every book. Even if it’s happy, I WILL somehow find a sad part. I’m very emotional 🙂

I know this is basic, but... Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I think that's the one I'm referencing, but the point is... I cried a lil when Dumbledore died. The way JKR wrote it, it was just so heartbreaking and moved me. I've read the series three times and the only time I cried was the third time around.

Those "A Dog's Life" books were absolutely brutal to read as a child. Especially when they got turned into a movie...even my mother was crying at the end, and I've literally watched this woman run straight into a wall, get up, and start laughing.

A Year of Impossible Goodbyes and its sequel Echoes of the White Giraffe by Sook Nyul Choi.
They are about a girl growing up doing the time of the Korean War. The endings to both books are so bittersweet and mournful.

At the end of Alice in Wonderland when she has to leave the Cheshire cat behind. It probably wasn't as sad as most on the list, but it hurt me. It really did.

The Illusion Series (just an illusion-side A/just an illusion side b/ and just an illusion unplugged) by D. Kelly--broke my heart into a million pieces. I still cry if I think about the story.

Ellie’s Story by W. Bruce Cameron. It’s a easy reading book, yes, but I SOBBED. It’s a story about a police dog. A very very good girl.

Beneath the Wheel - Herman Hesse. It's a short book, but is so emotionally powerful. It captures so well the injustices in life, and why we should be more compassionate and empathetic to those around us.

This one doesn't even need a spoiler because I don't have to go into detail. Mostly everybody knows what I mean by this title. The Outsiders. Nuff' Said.
