I’m going to be very, very honest here. I don’t like today’s topic. Why? Because it’ll be the same thing everywhere and I simply don’t feel like, once again, going on about how I would love to live in Rowling’s magical world, or in Clare’s Shadowhunter world. Let alone in Maas’ Prythian, or even her Erilea. I’d probably also mention Children of Blood and Bone, The Cruel Prince and Warcross because I love those books and would love to meet the characters. [My Warcross-review is so OLD, yikes.]
Alas, I didn’t feel this weeks subject. I almost cried out of frustration when I saw it. Which brings me to today’s topic, chosen by… me!
Today’s topic is supposed to be “Bookish Worlds I’d Want to/Never Want to Live In” but let’s just act as if we didn’t see that and go with “Books That Made Me Cry” because that’s what I feel like doing.
And simply because I can, here are three books I haven’t read yet, but I expect them to make me cry!
All covers link back to Goodreads if you feel like checking them out!
What books had you crying? Ugly-crying? Or simply tearing up?
Me Before You obliterated me!

I’ve honestly only cried at one book ever (Phillip Pullman’s The Amber Spyglass) and I read it when I was like 13. I think I might have to check some of these out to proove that I’m not an emotionless monster…

Hahaha. 180 Seconds was my biggest ugly-cry ever, followed by They Both Die At The End. Just saying. 😛

Oh I love your choice of topic 😀 180 seconds made me cry like a baby and I didn’t expect it to, at all. It was the worst. Yet, I also loved this book so, so much. Why do we love the books that make us cry the most?!
I haven’t read Obsidio just yet, but….I’m impatient to. Even if I’m also scared to haha 🙂

I had the same with 180 Seconds, but I’m a masochist so I’m planning a reread. At least I know I have plenty of tissues stocked already, haha!
It’s funny how people get scared because I cried over Obsidio. Seriously. I cried, but I ended up happy with the books?! Don’t be scared!

I’d love to re-read it as well, but… I need a copy first haha, I got it as an e-ARC. I NEED to get a physical copy because it looks so pretty as well. 😛

I rarely cry when it comes to books. Red Rising, yea, cried on that. Don’t recall any other.
Green mile for me was no cryer in book, almost cryer in movie version. 😥
I dunno why, but written words never really have the same effect on me than things i see in films.

Haven’t read Red Rising yet but people have been recommending it to me all the time, haha.
I cried SO HARD when I saw the movie, so I’m simply assuming the book will have the same effect. Now I’m curious though. 😛
Hah, both have the same effect on me most of the time. :’)
