I’ve never been much a fan of Jodi Picoult but I am willing to give this one a chance. I just finished a book that mentioned a school shooting and would like to read another story about a shooting.
@Crystal I also watched the movie & cried through the whole last part of the movie. I had to find a way to accept my 16 year old Chihuahua was entering into her last phase of life. The book & movie helped me immensely. I’m the same. I just want to know if the dog is ok. ?
@Karri I get so mad when animals are hurt or killed in books. Do whatever you want to a person. I know it’s fake. But my heart breaks for animals no matter if it’s real or not ?
A dog’s purpose is definitely not a book about dogs getting hurt or killed. It is a very moving story about “A dog’s purpose,” here on earth. It is very moving.
In terms of books that made me cry…there are a few actually, I had reread Anne of Green Gables and that made me cry, as did Chevy Stevens That night, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And another one was Hawkmistress by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness.
I’m now reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin and I’ve already had a few tears and before that Reading Lolita In Tehran was heart wrenching too. I also shed a few tears whilst reading Room.
Most recently, A Man Called Ove. I don’t look for books that make me cry. While I like books that stay with me for awhile, books that make me sad are not something I go looking for.
Where the Red Fern Grows. I was reading it aloud to my kids every night before bed. Near the end, we were all bawling as I tried to continue reading. My husband came home from work just then and was completely flummoxed as to what to do and what was going on.
Rise of the iliri by Auryn Hadley (it’s a RH series there are currently 8 books out and 2 more to finish it). I read all 8 books in 6 days! And am still in my damn book hangover I swear this author has ruined me! Lol? ? ?
‘Never let me go’ and ‘The buried giant’, both by Kazuo Ishiguro, also ‘Game of thrones’ (as the 1st volume of the ‘A song of Ice and Fire’ series), I cried for Lady (Sansa’s puppy)

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
Tandia by Bryce Courtenay
“The Nightengale” by Kristin Hannah…I not only wept, but this really stayed with me for a week. I couldn’t even start another book right away.
Ohh this one sounds really good! I think I am going to start with it!
I’m not a crier but this one had me bawling. I had my sister read it and she calls me crying when she finished it. Great book!
Read this one with a box of tissues close by. It’s really good
This is the only book that’s ever made me ugly cry ❤️❤️❤️
A Dog’s Purpose.
I can’t read about dogs. I know. KNOW I will cry! ??♀️
@Crystal I also watched the movie & cried through the whole last part of the movie. I had to find a way to accept my 16 year old Chihuahua was entering into her last phase of life. The book & movie helped me immensely. I’m the same. I just want to know if the dog is ok. ?
@Crystal same!!!
@Karri I get so mad when animals are hurt or killed in books. Do whatever you want to a person. I know it’s fake. But my heart breaks for animals no matter if it’s real or not ?
@Crystal exactly! I just cant.
A dog’s purpose is definitely not a book about dogs getting hurt or killed. It is a very moving story about “A dog’s purpose,” here on earth. It is very moving.
Most recently for me it was Eliza and her Monsters by Francesca Zappia.
