I Cried When...

CAUTION!! SPOILERS MAY OR MAY NOT BE BELOW!!

How this works:

• Each person to post begins their sentence with "I cried when".
  
• Then he or she writes what made them cry in a book.
  
• After that, he or she puts the title and author of the book.

Example:

I cried when Rue died.
The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins

Oh how fun! Lessee.

I cried when Beth died.
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott

(So...I don't cry in books much. That took a lot of thinking for me. )

I cried when Dustfinger died.
Inkspell, Cornelia Funke.

I also cried when THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS OF JELLICOE ROAD, that beautiful, beautiful book.
Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta

IN tHE MOVIE DUSTFINGER SPUN POI. *cough* I find that fact exciting.

I cried when Gus had his funeral.
The Fault in our Stars, John Green

(Hunger Games spoiler below!)

I cried when Peeta was back, but messed up, and tried to strangle Katniss.
Mockingjay, Suzanne Collins

I also cried when Dustfinger died, but I didn't want to do the same thing.

This is such a good idea!

I cried when Four tried to kill Tris.
≈Divergent, Veronica Roth

Fun idea! I'm going to hide the ones I'm not sure everyone's read, the newer or less read ones, because, it's just…the IMPACT. If you know about it, you lose the impact! This post is long…and I ended up hiding a lot. I don't actually cry that much, I promise! O_o

I cried when Leslie died. (Well, when my fifth grade teacher cried, while he was reading it for the twentieth time to the class. I can't stand it when grown men cry…plus it was incredibly sad.)
The Bridge to Terabithia, Katherine Paterson

I cried when

Spoiler:

The Queen of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner

I cried when

I teared up…during something I don't really recall. But it was sad.
Later in the Alex Rider Series…, Anthony Horowitz

I cried when Dumbledore died.
The Half-Blood Prince, JK Rowling

I sobbed when Harry died.

I cried when

died. And it was mostly shock. Like, …did I just read that? That person's coming back, right?
The Girl of Fire and Thorns, Rae Carson

And…the rest are movies or TV shows, like Avatar(Airbender, not the blue people) and X-Men: First Class. I like my entertainment to move me. ^_^

Wow, you read some awesome books... I love the Windsinger and Queen of Attolia, although neither of them made me cry. They're still amazing!!

How'd you do that spoiler thing, Renee? *seriously impressed* And that's a lot of books! Seems you've had some emotional reading times! XD *amused*

@Gracie — Yes! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's read Windsinger and the Queen's Thief! I hadn't met anyone who'd read those until now.

@Maggie — Haha, I knew a spoiler feature had to be on here somewhere! It's under the "Others" option on the toolbar. And…yes, emotional reading. If I like a book—it's well written & the plot's sound—I'll trust the author with my feelings and fully invest myself in their story and characters. If I'm moved by it, then I know they did a good job. And if I hadn't invested myself before that point, and they still managed to move me, then I know they did a really good job.

Yay for less-known books. I love Megan Whalen Turner's writing. She is a master, and she's so good at writing unexpected plot twists. I am blown away by her books every time. Eugenides is pretty awesome, too.

Ahh, yeah. I know the feeling. And now I totally need to hunt for that spoiler feature. O_o

Haha, nice spoiler Maggie.

Hehe, thanks. XD I feel so clever!

EUGENIDES!!! <3 <3 <3

Ack, now I want to read all the Attolia books again so I can remember everything and then gush over how amazing they are!

Coming late to the party, and I'm seeing a lot of cool titles that are currently in my TBR list, but here are some of my sniffly books.

—I cried when Peony died.
Cinder, Marissa Meyer

—I cried when...Persuasion. Just Persuasion. For some reason, that book makes me sniffle constantly.
Persuasion, Jane Austen

—There was definitely something in my eye when Tris's mom died.
Divergent, Veronica Roth

I tend not to *cry* with books, even if they REALLY affect me—hence the short list. But there are so many awesome books listed here that I suspect I'll get to expand my own list soon. :-P
