I have a heart like a rock so it takes some major doing to wrench a tear from me and when it does happen I’m blown away. I read across lots of romance subgenres and have never shed a tear for anything other than historical.

For me, any author that can elicit that kind of emotion through the written word is a master of the craft. The only authors to ever bring me to tears are Catherine Anderson and Teresa Medeiros.

I don’t usually cry over books. Some leave an emotional impact that resonates long afterwards, but that usually gets me thinking about it rather than weeping over it.

Movies, it all depends. (And some days are more emotional than others *G*) But over all, other than The Lion King where Mufasa dies, I can’t remember one with any real clarity. There may have been some that made me teary-eyed at the time.

As I said from time to time Wanderlust was a real tearjerker for me. I don’t cry that often while reading either but that one hit exactly the right spot fro me. I couldn’t stand to read more than 1 chapter at a time. Or better said after after one chapter I couldn’t see the words any longer. Can’t even say why.
Loved your post hon!

I don’t really cry during books but I just finished a young adult novel that is coming out in March from Angela Morrison called Sing Me To Sleep. I was sobbing like a baby.

And let’s not talk about how I saw Titanic twice and was an emotional wreck.

Oddly enough as a teen, I cried every time I saw Heaven Can Wait. I watched it about 20 years later and have no idea why it affected me that way. Most recently Wuthering Heights with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche has made me sniffly.

I don’t cry easily either. But Steel Magnolias tore me up also. Oh and Terms of Endearment, the scene where Emma is in the hospital and telling her boys goodbye. I was about 13 when I first this movie and I boo-hoo’d then. Would prolly again.

But for some reason on Glee last night, when the Glee club sang with the deaf Glee club from another school. This got me a bit choked up, didn’t cry but my throat got tight.

Oh, and I had a really good cry with Queen of Song and Souls. I really cried a good one with that book.

Great post Mandi! Made me think.

Mandi I loved your post, thanks for visiting LRP. I usually don’t cry at movies, because I’m with other people. I guess it distracts me from what’s really unfolding in the movie. Translation: I’m trying to keep the nacho cheese from dripping all over my clothes. But, I do bawl reading certain books. Huge TJ (Tear jerker) for me Jennifer Haymore’s “A Hint of Wicked.” Beautiful story, but I cried. Now, I will say I have Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, even read “Acheron” in one week. They don’t make me cry though, “Acheron” gripped tightly at my heart & squeezed hard, but I didn’t cry. Have a great day Mandi!

I bawl a lot in movies. Not so much for books. If the angsty drama really gets me then yes, but it’s usually just movies that make me sob like an idiot.

Oh, funny! I’m not a big crier either, though certain movies I’ll mist up. However, I remember watching the Joy Luck Club, tho, and that movie made me cry a lot, in fact so much, I was sort of resentful, like it was emotionally manipulative.
