What was the last book you read that made you cry or tear up? For me, it was Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. It’s been on my TBR list for awhile, and I FINALLY read it! I absolutely loved it, but it got me all teary-eyed! I’ve heard so many great things about this book, that I just knew I would love it, but I wasn’t prepared for the tears too, LOL! Thankfully, I was reading at home late at night, so there were no witnesses – I hate crying or tearing up in public!
I don’t mind reading books that require tissues, but I kind of like being prepared for the tears and I have to be in the mood for that kind of book. Nicholas Sparks books (& movies) always get me – and usually it’s full on crying (yeah the ugly kind). So, I definitely have to be in the mood for lots of tears and have a full supply of tissues at the ready when I read one of his books! LOL!
Do you like to be prepared for when a book makes you cry or do you even read books that make you cry?
Rainbow Rowell is one of my all-time favorite authors! Love her!!! Eleanor & Park is seriously such a wonderful and beautiful story…I have the hardcover but I’m tempted to buy the special edition copy with the fan-art on the inside.
I don’t cry easily with books but a couple of stories that did make me reach for a tissue was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Written in My Own’s Heart Blood. And when I say I cried…I literally had to put the book down and take a moment.
I really loved Eleanor & Park!! I borrowed it from the library, but I think it’s one that I’d like to add to my own library!
TFiOS really got me too! I knew it would be an emotional one, but like you, I had to put it down and take a moment (& blow my nose & wipe my eyes, LOL!)!! I was blubbering a lot in the movie, too! I used to not cry easily, even with books, but now I find I’m tearing up more!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I cry during a lot of books and movies and I am used to it. I don’t need to be prepared. Ooooh Eleanor & Park! What a gem! So glad you read it!!! Lots of sobbing there. I am not a huge Nicolas Sparks fan, especially this new one (seriously, cheating?!?! Gross). But I even still tear up watching old Disney movies I have seen a million times.

LOVED Eleanor & Park so much!! But yeah, lots of tears!! I’ve been reading Sparks for a few years now, so I always have tissues ready for when I read his books! I don’t know if it’s my age or because I’m a mom or what (or all of the above) but I seem to cry easier now and tear up at most anything (commercials even!!)! I used to not cry easily and rarely while reading, now it’s almost totally opposite!! Glad that I’m not the only one, LOL! Thanks for stopping by!!
Hmmm… the last book that made me cry? Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover, she always gives me so many feels that I can’t help but cry!
