at least you were alone.
I read Bill Wallace books to my students every year in Library and at the end of almost every book I cry (most of the time the dog dies or something tragic). His books are GREAT children's books to read aloud, but I cry almost every time. Then the kids will say "oh are you OK, Mrs. B?" through their own tears.
I love a good book that makes me get emotionally tied to the storyline/characters.
