  1. Esperanza Rising.\

    The Time Travelers Wife.


  2. This may sound dumb but I cry every time I read Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. Mr. card makes you really love the people he is writing about, he is an awesome author.  If you want a girly book read Moloka'i or Snowflower and the Secret Fan. If you want a true story read First They Killed My Father, it's so sad and it will really make you cry.

  3. Before I Die by Jenny Downham is a great tear jerker.


  4. Where the Red Fern Grows.... every single time I read it.

  5. The picture-book the Velveteen Rabbit.  

  6. The Thornbirds

    The Notebook (yeah, it was a book first)

    Lord of the Rings


  7. Laski's "Little Boy Lost". Gets me every time.

    Apparently they made it into a dreadful Bing Crosby film though.

  8. The Lovely Bones--i started re-reading it last night and that book is so freakin' sad. And it also gave me nightmares! i couldn't sleep at all. :(

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also made me cry. lol. but i know for a fact i'm not the only one. JKR is a very powerful writer she's very good at making you really care about her characters, even the minor ones.

  9. Voyage on the great Titanic- the diary of Margaret Anne Brady.    its sooooo sad. its about an orphan in englad who gets a chance to go to america. she falls in luv w/ the steward and he dies and i cry every time iread it. heres a reveiw:    The opportunity of her life turns into a nightmare., August 4, 2000

    By  Rebecca Herman

    Thirteen-year-old Margaret, the fictional passenger that is the "writer" of the "diary" that makes up this book, shouldn't have even been on the Titanic. By a twist of fate that she interprets as good fortune, the orphan, who has been living at an orphanage since her mother died and her brother decided he couldn't care for her properly, gets a job with a wealthy American woman, Mrs. Carstairs. The job is fairly simple: Margaret just has to keep Mrs. Carstairs company during her return voyage to New York, and it comes with a ticket to America. Margaret takes the job eagerly: her brother now is living and working in America, able to support her, and has been saving up for a ticket for her for awhile. Now she can join him immediatley. But Mrs. Carstairs is returning to America on the Titanic. And we all know that voyage is doomed to end of tragedy. So Margaret unknowingly heads off into a disaster. We see through her eyes how the luxuries of first class would appear to a child who lived in poverty all of her life. And of course, the disaster plays a large role in the story as well. I highly reccomend this to fans of the Dear America series, historical fiction, and of course, the Titanic!  

  10. Anything by Nicholas Sparks. I cry so hard when I read his books that I have to put them down because I can't see a thing through my tears! Now that's a tear-jerker! I also cried hysterically when I read one of the Harry Potters...I think it was the fourth or fifth one.

  11. The Notebook.  Tears were pouring out of my eyes!

  12. the Glass Castle

  13. My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult

  14. strangely almost all of the books on Oprah's Book Club List...

    Book of Ruth

    The Pilot's Wife

    Bridges of Madison County

    While I Was Gone

    I've read well over a dozen of them, they are all well written, and you can research them online...

    Happy Reading!

  15. Yeah, the notebook! better than the film

  16. I cried really hard when I read "Night" by Eli Wiesel. It is about the author's experience in Auschwitz, one of the most infamous concentration camps during the Holocaust. The book is really graphic and sad.

    Also, "A Child Called It" by David Peltzer made me cry a lot. It is about a young boy who experiences the worst kind of child abuse imaginable; he is tortured, starved, and neglected by his alcoholic mother. He is singled out by his siblings (he was the only one abused).

  17. NEW MOON!! 2nd book after twilight

  18. I havnt read that many books Im 16 I have read alot of classics though for school and just for fun and I would say : Of mice and men.

  19. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah..best book I have read in awhile.

  20. Green Eggs & Ham .
