Yeah, my sister told my mom to read it and she did! We kinda had a family reading or something.

Oh wow, your mom liked it?

Not I. I never cry in anything. It's kind of annoying sometimes.

My mom read it, and the trashcan was practically filled with tissues because she was crying so much.

It was a little tiny trashcan that you would put in your room or something, and it's not like anything gross was in there.

Through it in a trashcan? Whaaa?????


Gemma is my favorite.

I thought it was kinda weird that he turned into a tree... Oh well. After I was done, I threw the book in the trashcan and then I picked it up and gave it a hug. Weird, I know... Kartik was my favorite character, though!!! :(

Hmm. I'm just very very emotionally attached to the characters and the writing was so good in that scene.

Hmm. lol, You're not weird, you just didn't get overly emotional. I cried even the second time.

Oh, why is this in Fun and Games? I'm weird! LOL

i know! i cried so hard at that part!

I wish The Sweet Far Thing came with a warning labeled "you will need tissues!" I cried so hard, I couldn't even read anymore, my vision was completely destroyed by my profuse bawling.

Harmones

I didn't cry, though I did tear up a bit. I seriously cried a little bit reading the end of 'The Crow' by Allison Croggon! And Sovay, in some parts. I don't cry a lot for books. But I have learnt that as I get older, the more I cry for books!

ok! thanks : )

Yes, probably my favorite book even tho it makes me cry. It's by Elie Wiesel, if that helps

Any story about the holocaust is sure to make someone cry... I'll have to look that book up though. Is it really good?

It's a true story about the Holocaust....

Thanks for the welcomes and such! but yeah what is this Night?

Night? Tell more.

I cried too. I like never cry in books, that was something like the 3rd time ever. so that means a lot to me... the two other times it turned out the person wasn't actually dead.
Except for Night. I've read it like 20 times and still cry every. single. time.

Ashlynn, welcome to the group! Very true...wow, I didn't think of that.

Wow, Ashlynn, good observation.

Oh gulp, crying at trees. We have to have a tree cut down because it's too close to our house. That will probably make me burst into tears now! (It's a big one too, but fortunately it doesn't whisper my name when the wind blows, just throws branches on my roof)

Oh i cried for ages... i'd think i was done then the tears would just keep on pouring out of me. I was unaware i could cause myself to cry by looking at a tree...Other than loosing the very lovely Kartik I think Libba ended it brilliantly. I think they will all find their own ways in the world without having to lean on someone. They will be able to support themselves wonderfully. The end illistrated that life just isn't fair, just fairer than death. I liked that.

:) I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Libba is amazing, isn't she?

Well, one day in to it, and I find myself tearing up suddenly and in the silliest places (drive-thru window, etc.). It is really sad. A couple of silly/odd things that came about while I was reading this: I had some disturbing dreams, oddly appropriate songs kept poking into my head, I did think about Lord of the Rings during the battle scene (someone else mentioned that). I also thought about (and was horrified by it) Titanic (Leonardo dies, Kate lives) even though I've never actually watched more than snips of the movie.

Libba Bray is incredible. I did have to snort when Gemma thought about meeting someone and marrying one day ("so, what happened to your last boyfriend," "oh, he died for me.")I'm hoping Gemma can find happiness and sense of purpose without a new man.

:D! Your welcome, I have to spread the love!!

I gotta say I love these books. Thanks for the recommendation!!!!! I recommend these to everyone now

Ahhh, interesting eh??? She gives a lot of info, I really love and appreciate her for that. (Among other reasons).

both.....i mainly am looking at Libba's answers....

The answers or the entries?

thanks.....there is soo much there Emma

Krisite, try going to Libba's blog and find an entry called TSFT Answers. Libba explains A LOT.

I enjoyed the ending. I really didn't cry because I was in pure shock. I just wished there was more information. I wanna know what actually happens.

Haha! so true, so true

:), Don't worry, just take some time to grieve, and then you'll really be able to understand.

i was extremely weirded out. although, after reading what a bunch of you guys said, i like it a lot more now. but it was just so unexpected and dark. and sweet. and happy. and sad. i guess i don't really know what i think!:)

Me and my friends ditched a lifeguard! It was fun! We were at the pool and he wanted to play our game but we didn't want him to, so when he threw the ball we took it and ran! Yay!

Sweet I live by the ocean too, but dont get to go down there much its all rocky and cold not a nice sandy beach haha.

yea, SoCal. I'm doing Jr. Lifeguards, a program where you go to the beach every day for three weeks, and swim and run and learn about lifeguarding and stuff. funness!

You live near the ocean? Lucky!

I'm just v. silly, all my friends are, we'll start cracking up for no reason and have random splashing fights in the ocean

Awesome!

I am silly with my friends, and when I'm acting I'm not nervous, its just I went to camp and we did a lot of acting EXCERSISES where we had to be silly, and I just really didn't like doing that. If I play a silly character I will LOVE it though! The 2 plays I wrote (I finished the second one) are comedies, so yeah.

me and my friends are ALWAYS silly, lol.

Haha, I have been training since I was 2 I doubt a change in the plans would be acceptable. I LOVE singing just have super bad stage freight lol. Perfect huh :) My mom says I can be whatever I want to be but I would hate to put so many years and so much money to waste. I plan to have other jobs but singing will be a big one :) If I can pull myself together that is.

Haha, ooorrr, you could pick something more practical.

Same. I wish I felt comfortable with it though. I hate being in front of people in general but my future is based on me singing and so I need to learn how to deal with it... haha

I hate being silly in front of people.

I don't do silly unless I want to. If I don't want to, I won't. Its just not possible to get me to do something like that. Most of the times I am silly with my friends, but in front of people I don't know I am barely ever silly unless I'm making jokes, which I tend to make a lot of."
