Books That Made Me Cry || CRY WORTHY BOOKS RECOMMENDATIONS 2019

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

What are some of you UNPOPULAR BOOK OPINIONS? Leave them here and I'll do a video reacting to them :D

[@bookcatcher4561]

I really hate Shatter me, Hunger games, Twilight, Mortal instruments, Divergent... series! Also I really hate Rone and Hermione like couple...

[@bookcatcher4561]

Oh... I hate Cruel prince, too. :)

[@jessicamota8031]

People like to shit on and say main characters are overrated and a good amount of the times isn't true but they are just bitter because they prefer side characters

[@jessicamota8031]

If we are being realistic here Ron and Hermione would never work and they'd definitely have gotten a divorce, probably never have dated at all.

[@celiananaze]

I absolutely hated Illuminae even though everyone seemed to love it : I found it so cringy and boring ! I regretted buying it sooo hard and to this day I still don't understand why people hyped it this much... same with Caraval...I'm not against some romance but God I hated the ones in these two Btw I love your videos ! And I don't usually cry while reading either but ah... A Monster Calls made me cry my heart out 😭

[@chalysew342]

Books that made me cry: Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function. (2014). Vollhardt, K., Peter, C., & Schore, N. E. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

Hugging a book? Crying? Immediately pops up The Book Thief. Boy, how much I cried with that one. After was over I was actually sobbing, even remembering it makes me so emotional. Still no regrets, such a beautiful book.

[@smartlikewoah]

I still haven't read that book 😔 So I'm guessing from your comment it's worth reading right? Lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Still haven't read it... I have a feeling it will make me too sad :/

[@jessicamota8031]

@@smartlikewoah yes, definitely. I was interested because the whole "death telling a story" thing but was so deep and beautiful and meaningful. It definitely is the type to make you cry but also worth it for sure.

[@jessicamota8031]

@@BookswithEmilyFox oh that's for sure, but I say it's worth it. Is that type of story makes your heart ache after you're done but you have no regrets because it was so beautiful and touching.

[@isachan2252]

I usually cry at historical fiction books with war topics but Book thief didn't do it for me actually. It always felt forced and meh like the author was "loook hooow saad this isss staaart cryying" *eyesroll* But yeah, i guess it depends, i know that book has pretty divided opinions.

I just finished The Kite Runner... most powerful novel I’ve ever read.

[@ujjyaini332]

Non-fiction - Night by Ellie Wiesel Fiction - The Kite Runner by Khaleed Hosssein .This book has a very special place in my heart .

[@MsPatricia666]

When I recommend Night to people I usually tell them to get ready to be kicked right in the face because that what is fells like to read this book. Great choice.

[@beccadoingstuff]

Night most definitely made me cry. I’ve never been so affected by nonfiction, but the story really made me realize the reality of the Holocaust tragedy. Important read, everyone should read it sometime in their life.

[@varnyu]

The Kite Runner - YES. Sometimes you have to check twice that it's fiction. At least you hope it is. :(

[@lavenderbay279]

Yes! Night shocked me so much. I knew it was about the holocaust, but I had to read it for school(which i usually hate reading required books) and books don't often make me cry. I'm also not a huge fan of nonfiction, so I wasn't really expecting so many emotions! Let's just say it was a bad choice to read it on the bus surrounded by lots of people...

"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom

[@defghijklmao]

'The Song of Achilles' and 'Forbidden' are literally the two books that had me depressed and crying for a long ass time.

[@leksawendell2105]

"After the Fire" is by FAR my favorite book I've ever read -- its SO SO SO heartfelt and is uniquely written. I can't say enough about this book. (MUST READ!)

[@toma5312]

Don't know if it sounds weird, but I really like crying after a good emotional story. Thanks for the recommendations Emily!

[@coronaaustralisful]

Khaled Housseini's books. Oh God. I stopped reading for months after reading them.

[@camilaszmalko1157]

Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo was so sad, and I loved it! Other book that made me sob was Salt to the sea by Ruta Sapetys

[@justvynexa]

everytime you say you don’t have a copy of Evelyn Hugo, I want to buy you one SO BAD! fun fact: when I first got my library card last year, I took out I’ll Give You The Sun, Evelyn Hugo AND The Astonishing Color of After. I had to ask myself why I was trying to break my own heart that way.

[@gracepinkerton7395]

My favourite book is a monster calls I’m always so glad when someone mentions or recommends it because it deserves so much love

[@zoeyl9662]

book that made me cry: song of achilles.... the ending had me in actual sobs, sometimes I pull it off my shelf just to read the last couple of pages and I always tear up :')

[@FridaNordstrom]

"And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer " by Fredrik Backman had me ugly crying. The same with every Kahled Hosseini book.

Nothing made me cry like A thousand splendid suns, ooohh boy, I used to go to school with puffy eyes not being able to sleep, reading all night lol

[@Juli6SS]

I was kinda satisfied with the ending for main character in Flowers for Algernon. It just reinforced my belief that Ignorance is bliss and all. But it was also sad, so I agree with you on that.

[@vegangurly]

But why would you be satisfied? And the begin he was ignorant and blissful but also extremely unintelligent. But by the end he had reverted back but was no longer ignorant. Things did not go back to the way they were. He remembered who he has as an intelligent man and how he was treated.

[@jenniferadam2258]

I read Flowers for Algernon YEARS AND YEARS ago and I still remember how it felt like a gut punch when I got to the end. Brilliantly heartbreaking, I totally agree. It left a permanent mark on me.

[@lucyc5131]

Never have I seen a more accurate description of A Monster Calls.

[@qnMeanne]

Cry-worthy books for me: 1.) Still Alice 2.) One Day 3.) Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 4.) The Reader 5.) The Road 6.) To Kill a Mockingbird 7.) Tattoos on the Heart 8.) Chinese Cinderella 9.) Tell the Wolves I’m Home 10.) Me Before You 11.) The Goldfinch 12.) The Silver Linings Playbook 13.) Man’s Search for Meaning 14.) The FAult in Our Stars 15.) Love Story 16.) Curious Incident of Dog in the Night-time 17.) Love in the Time of Cholera 18.) Just Mercy 19.) Redeeming Love 20.) The Kite Runner Among other things.. :)

[@enomm2364]

My heart literally jumped when I read redeeming love. It is my all time favourite book. It is just ohhhhhh I'm speechless.

[@uhsaywhatnow]

I mostly like going into a book without knowing much about it *except* if it’s going to make me cry, so a heads up video like this is much appreciated. That being said, I read Flowers for Algernon in the 8th grade not knowing what I was getting myself into and that’s probably why I need the “you’re gonna cry” heads up to this day.

[@A_Random_Rat]

Thanks for recommending Flowers for Algernon. I never in my life expected to cry reading a book.

[@nerdtastic2014]

I just recently read His Dark Materials for the first time, and I'm glad I waited until I was an adult to read it because there are do many layers of meaning in the series. But I agree, that ending hurt my soul a little bit (or a lot lol). Yep, Flowers for Algernon and A Monster Calls are both heart-wrenching. 😭

[@fyodordostoevsky3951]

*Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine* *Absolutely good, highly recommended, just by staring at it, you'll already crying*

My cry worthy books (not necessarily crying at the ending, but crying at various heart rending parts): Forbidden - Tabatha Suzuma 11/22/63 - Stephen King The Binding - Bridget Collins The Taste of Sorrow - Jude Morgan Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J K Rowling The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini The Fault In Our Stars - John Green The Help - Kathryn Stockett

[@shinyandteddy957]

I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo based on your recommendation last year. It's not something I would have ever picked up otherwise. BUT...I loved it so much (and yes, I cried several times too). It became one of my two favorite books of the year.

[@Juli6SS]

Yes, I cried my eyes out after finishing Monster Calls!! Thankfully I was home alone at that time so didn't have to explain myself.

[@dompishere3014]

Some books that brought tears to my eyes: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman Books that made tears stream down my face: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

[@LB-sd1nv]

Before I Die by Jenny Downham broke me. I usually do not cry, like at all but by the end of that book, I was a wreck. The name is kind of a spoiler but the small details of her relationship with her brother and father just made my heart shatter. Just her knowing that she won't live long and knowing she won't achieve what she wants before she dies- just her family and friends coming to terms with that. I highly recommend. Sure, the romance was nice but it was her family relationships that got me.

[@ilovesmallville13]

Thanks to you I read Flowers for Algernon last year and it broke my heart!!!! It has become one of my favorite books ❤

[@ashschwartz7710]

One of the few books that made me cry was Heartless, by Marissa Meyer. It is an origin story about the Queen of Hearts, and it broke me for a solid few days.

[@marshmallow864]

I sobbed while reading A Monster Calls (and during the movie). Flowers for Algernon really broke my heart. It's one of my favorite books.

[@cozyafternoons]

I read the short story version of flowers for Algernon in middle school and I'm pretty sure I started crying during class because of it. I cry really easily though. Such a good story, I need to pick up the full book sometime soon!

[@the_dancerjen1773]

Night was required reading in high school and I was completely changed after reading it. Broke me!

[@kirjakauris]

Flowers for Algernon was such a strange experience! The prevalent emotion I felt throughout the book was annoyance, I just really didn't sympathize with the main character after he started the experiment. I fully expected to feel angry and disappointed after I finished it. And then the ending hit and I found myself inexplicably crying my eyes out. An I don't mean shedding a tear or two, shit got ugly. A really powerful book.

[@TheEpicsofUuruk]

This is very interesting! I'm actually trying to learn that skill in writing, the skill of making arcs so heart-wrenching that one cannot help but cry. I know that I can make myself cry when I write, but I'm not sure about others' reactions. I'm going to definitely check out your recommendations for influence!

[@menollyhollabaugh5549]

I LOVE books that give you all the feels...but also hate them lol. I totally agree about I'll Give You the Sun, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and A Monster Calls. Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys is also incredible. The Knife of Never Letting Go actually destroyed me, but I still love it so much and it was so worth the read! Other sad books I love are Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and Impulse (or really anything) by Ellen Hopkins!

[@cleoh666]

I'm reading His Dark Materials for the first time, currently in The Subtle Knife, and I am IN LOVE. I will 100% read this to my future children.

Some books that made me cry were..... 1. Harry Potter Series (Obviously) 2. Small Great Things 3. My Sister’s Keeper 4. The Help 5. The Outsiders 6. The Hate U Give 7. The Last Song 8. In The Time Of The Butterflies

[@ssu943]

[@Emi_Bunni]

Bruh The Outsiders made me depressed for 2 months

[@megandcochrane]

A Monster Calls, the movie, made me ugly cry the entire time. It was so beautiful and is so worth a watch. The Little Prince is a good heart wrencher if you're in the market for a good heart felt cry. Maybe it was just me. The old man in the story reminded me very much of my grandpa and it just pounded on all the feels. ETA: for a fun read that also hits the feels, the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant...I reread it every year. The writing could be helped, but the story is really fun.

[@LoveAndLabcoats]

It was years ago but The Notebook hit me hard. I reread it last year to see if I was more cold hearted now. Yes, maybe I am but it still got me. More recently was When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. I’d put it off because I knew I’d cry but oh my word, I ugly sobbed. Not one I’d recommend though. And Obviously, the Harry Potter series gets me every single time.

[@messy678]

So, The Monster Calls also broke me. Then I decided that we should watch the movie as a family. It broke my then 7 year old son! He sobbed and kept holding onto me. It was so good!

[@PostBlueHaze]

I almost never cry in books but Night made me sob, it's devastating

[@hobbleit]

I have only ever cried at five books: The Return of the King by JRR Tolkien, The Ghost Road by Pat Barker, Fool's Errand and Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb and The Man in the Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas. I have a big problem saying goodbye it turns out.

[@messy678]

[@hobbleit]

@@messy678 Yes it is. I haven't read Silence of the Girls but the Regeneration Trilogy was excellent. Also, bit of useless information, the second book, the Eye in the Door, was the first book I ever read with a homosexual love scene.

[@brightskysyl3913]

Books that made me cry: 1. A Thousand Splendid Suns 2. A Monster Calls 3. The Serpent King 4. Spiritual Friendship

[@emalemon6427]

"If this is a man" by Primo Levi is an absolutely amazing work of writing. He survived Auschwitz concentration camp but they way he writes....he was an Italian Jewish chemist and writes his journey through the camp like Dante's pilgrims journey through hell in Inferno. Reading it, your mind automatically reacts the way you would reading fiction because the horror they witnessed is something we don't want to be real, but you're so right, history needs to be witnessed in order to not let the past be repeated.

[@inavitale3223]

I’ve read 5/7 of these books. I don’t remember the dark materials making me cry, but I absolutely loved it.

[@elizabennet7397]

As a person whose default setting is crying (when happy, when angry, when sad, when worried etc.) a lot of novels made me cry. There are some that really got me going and one of them is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. That one made me cry for days after reading it. Same goes for The Book Thief (I knew I was going to cry but I was not expecting that level of crying from it). A Monster Calls oddly enough, did not make me cry (I only shed a few tears in the end, but again, this is just normal for me). I don't know why since it is a decent novel but it just didn't have that much effect on me. I have tried to read non fiction retelling of horrible events twice: the first time was that being a fan of murder/mystery/detective genre, and not a squeamish reader at all, I decided to give true crime a try and got The Green River Killer by Ann Rule. I couldn't even read past page 10 or someting (there were small photos of the victims and the whole horror of if was simply too much and I had to dnf it right there and then. Same thing happened with a book about Nanking Massacre again I couldn't even finish the first chapter.

[@creepyquills7092]

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Illuminae, and The Death Cure made me cry. I think in school when I read The Outsiders, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Night I cried. I don't cry often in books (in general really though unless animals being hurt are involved lol) but those got to me!

[@r00kshadow]

I saw the Monster Calls movie before reading the book and the book still made me sob, even knowing what was coming. One of my favourite books of last year along with Evelyn Hugo.

[@lizanneotterdijk9094]

“Of mice and men” is an interesting one cuz it got real tragic at the LAST FEW PAGES.

I read Flower for Algernon when I was in middle school and it made me sad but I didn't cry. I feel like if I were to read it now for the first time as an adult I would cry my eyes out!

[@duefeht]

Flowers for Algernon is definitely number one on my list, I completely agree with you. It's so hard for me to talk about it without wanting to just blurt out everything! As well as I'll Give You The Sun because I read it first at 13 and then again at 16 and having the twins be the ages that I was at the time really put into perspective how teenagers deal with their own issues, it'll be a while before I can read it again haha. Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Outsiders also got me the second time that I read them. I wanna read Evelyn Hugo now! I already had an interest, but everyone keeps mentioning the ending and you really sold me, I was also interested in Man's Search for Meaning-- nonfictions like that are always the hardest for me because, as you said, I will (hopefully) never understand what they went through and it's heartbreaking.

[@laurakish4707]

I read the short story version of Flowers for Algernon when I was in 8th grade. I don’t remember too much about the plot, but I remember feeling a lot of things you described as I was going through it. It one of the few stories that have stuck with me

Elie Wiesel's Night didn't make me cry, but it made appalled in how much a man went through in the Holocaust. Damn! I read in middle school, I couldn't believe how painful that was.

[@naterudolph4035]

The last book that made me cry was Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA by Roberta Kaplan. The title may give the impression of a school textbook for a history of law class, but it's honestly a beautiful and touching story. I highly recommend it.

My boyfriend recommended me Flowers for Algernon, and I cried my eyes out

[@varnyu]

Maybe it's not a popular book, but "Fish have no feet" by Jón Kalman Stefánsson just gave me all the feels. It's like poetry in the form of a novel. I don't want to spoil it, so I'm just going to say that I have never seen human emotions and thoughts expressed so beautifully before. Scandinavian (and icelandic) literature rules!

I felt the exact same with Flowers For Algernon, it broke me, and left me broken for a few days lol

[@stephaniebarcan7808]

I read A Monster Calls a few months ago but I read it in one day and I guess that kind of ruined the experience for me. Normally, even if a book is only 150 pages long, I will read part of it in one day and continue the next, so I can really absorb the plot and get more attached to the characters. A Monster Calls was my experiment to see if I would get as attached to the characters and get as intrigued by the plot if I finish it in one sitting. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I ended up really liking the book but it didn't touch me as much as it would've had I read it in my natural pacing. I'll definitely go for a reread sometime this year, though.

[@bellacooper7937]

If you want a book that will emotionally destroy you and make you cry for days after read “a little life” . My favorite book to date but it was difficult to read

[@nicolemartin5919]

The last book that made me cry was The Night Diary. It’s a middle grade novel about the partition of India that’s written in the form of diary entries from the narrator to her dead mother, who she never met. Overall, it’s a very beautiful and often painful exploration of family and identity, as well as a window into a tragic part of history that isn’t discussed enough.

[@Nightfeare]

Night is an amazing book. I got to hear him speak when i was in college. It was a heartbreaking and eye opening experience. 💖💖💖

[@jenburrell9553]

Salt to the Sea and Sarah’s Key will forever hold a special place in my heart and I remember crying so much afterwards but they are incredible works of historical fiction

[@elizabethreads0312]

I loved Flowers for Algernon. I really want to reread it this year. The novel is better and more complex than the short story. The short story was written first and the novel has the short story plus a lot more.

[@whatkaylasays]

I agree with so many of your recommendations. No book has ever made me cry harder than the Book Thief though.

[@LaLemonie]

I finished Monster Calls like an hour before watching this video, so have to agree on that. I didn't actually find Evelyn Hugo and I'll give you the sun cry worthy at all. I can't remember many books that would make me cry a lot, maybe the ending of Harry Potter 5.

[@999taas]

Flowers for Algernon was just amazing and made me cry so much...

[@hill7912A]

Yep I would agree with that selection of tear jerkers. I would also recommend Anne Griffin's when all is said and done - My Goodreads review is still just that it made me cry in a restaurant - can't quite get to writing it !

[@aless.andra9620]

My grandma is as much of a book nerd as me, and I've got her "Flowers for Algernon" as a gift for International Women's Day - I hope she would love it as much as I did! I got her my favorite "Star Rover" by Jack London a couple of years ago - not nesseseraly cry book for me (though can be devastating for others), but still philosophically deep and emotional - and she enjoyed it a lot. It's a book about US prisoner in 1890s, who while being subjected to days of pain in straight-jacket re-lives his previous lives throughout history. Along with "Flowers for Algernon", it's one of THE books for me!❤

[@alainaspurlock1924]

I read Night in high school. I read A LOT. And that book is one of two that will stick with me forever. Beautifully sad.

From all these the only ones I've read are TSHOEH, and MSFM, and both made me feel a lot, in different ways, but none made me cry. Still, great books; MSFM is a necessary educative read, and TSHOEH a great story with an amazing main character, so real and gripping (I actually want it to be adapted to a series/tv show, I think it'd suit it better than a film, but a film would be cool too!). AMC is in my TBR list, and you just made me want to read FFA and IGYTS! Thank you~

I plan on reading His Dark Materials soon. I’m excited.

I love the Dark materials! It's my favorite fantasy trilogy. They broke my heart into pieces
