Sunny, Diary Three by Ann M Martin. It's the only one of the California Diaries that was written by her (all others were ghosties) and it shows. Gets me every damn near time.
Books that Made you Cry?

The Fault in our Stars, along with the majority of the other people who read it. I'm not usually a John Green fan, but I really did think that was a beautiful story.
Pet Sematary.
PET F****ING SEMATARY.
My mother told me about this book, saying it was the scariest book she had ever read, kept her up at night, etc. Naturally, me being themasochist huge Stephen King fan that I am, I had to check it out so I bought a copy from B&N.
I was not at all expecting to be hit in a head-on collision by the feelsmobile. Good gods, I cried. I cried several times. Then after finishing it, I kinda just curled on the couch in my puddle of tears, lamenting like Dean Winchester: "Wish I couldn't feel a damn thing." ;______;

Charlotte's Web for me. I've cried at plenty since but that was the first book that made me cry my eyes out.

Oh lawd. I cry pretty easily. I even cried during Disney's Mulan. Let's see, off the top of my head...
Pretty much all of Khaled Hosseini's books.
Shantaram
Thud!
Small Gods
Ptolemy's Gate
Um...and a lot more. The list of books that did not make me cry might be shorter.

I don't cry easily. Maybe twice a year.
But A Stolen Life got to me, in that "sobbing in the corner and wanting to alone in the dark" sort of way.
It's Jaycee Dugard's memoir of her time in captivity.

The Darkest Evening of the Year - Dean Koontz. I shed buckets of tears from beginning to end. It was very hard for me to get through. It touched me deeply as it focuses on dogs and dog rescues. I will never read it again, but I am glad I read it once.

She is my idol. I own just about every book she's written, and every single one of them made me cry. She has this way with subtly that just pulls slowly at your heartstrings until the last word of the book rips it right out. No other writer has had the same effect on me.
Edward Tulane is by far my favorite, but read The Magician's Elephant and A Tiger Rising. You won't regret it.

There's not a fragment of a sentence of The Tale of Despereaux that loses its power over me, no matter how many times I read it; and Edward Tulane is beautiful, too.

The Art of Racing in the Rain. I love it, but I cry every time I read it. Even though it has basically a happy ending. (The French review I read of it complained of that, calling it "an American ending" )
)
Exactly what I was going to say. Both of these made me cry like a baby!
In the past there have been a few, but my memory won't stretch that far.
Putputt I'm with you... pretty much everything makes me cry (which gets a bit embarrassing when reading in public-transpo).
Khaled Husseini's books make me cry even more than most, so did
Lindsey Buroker's "Forged in Blood" and
Elizabeth Chadwick's "The Outlaw Knight"

How could I forget Nicholas Sparks?? I have cried during MANY of his books (as well as the movies).
Same here.
Also: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes and Before I Die by Jenny Downham.
This book made me cry more than any other book - ever!
Gone With The Wind - hey, I was 11!
To Kill A Mockingbird - I cry every time I teach it
Boy's Life by Robert McCammon
Most of Pat Conroy's books
Edited to add: I actually cry over almost every book I read. And TV show. And movie.
