I think I cried when I read Maniac Magee.

Yes, but I forgot the title. -_-

The only two books I remember that made me ANGRY, though, were "The Chocolate War" series.

I've read that, at least I think it's the same book.



Yes, I have cried, actually. One of the books was Witch by Christopher Pike. It is also probably close to my favorite books. There were some others too, but I can't remember the titles to save my life.

I used to love reading the Chicken Soup books. But everytime I got to a sad story, I would start crying with the realization that this really happened to someone.

Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli made me cry a little, but the real killer was Stargirl. That was an amazing story.

The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton made me cry a lot, the bit when Ponyboy read Johnny's letter. It was short, yes, but what was incredible was that Hinton had such a great style and was able to tell a great story in that litte amount of words. Awesome.

I cried when Sirius Black died in Harry Potter, too, I think. Yes, I'm the typical Sirius Lover kind of reader.

There were some longer books that made me cry, too, but I can't think of them right now.

There are a lot of touching stories/books, but one that stands out in my mind is A Child Called It. Very moving.

Me too!! T__T And Harry's reaction to that made me tear more.

Maniac Magee, I think I'm the only one that just doesn't get the book. I don't know, maybe I read it too fast. But Stargirl was a nice book.

No book has really ever made me cry. The first book to make me cry...will like seriously be treasured by me forever. Cause I guess I'm not the type of person to cry because I read something. Unless...it's something personal. But, I'll cry in the movie, but not in the book. Weird Joanna.

i miss blogring.

The Chicken Soup series. I forgot which one that story was in, but it was about a girl dying because she got cancer.


How could you describe the colour blue to someone who is blind?

PS: I love you . The touching ending.

I cried when I read Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul. I always had to pause in between the stories to make sure the tears didn't spill over.
Another was Twilight bye Stephenie Meyer. I'm obsessing over that book still. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good romance novel

Curiosity . . .


I wish you could see the misery you give me. . .
