Follow Friday--Emotional Scenes

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers -- but you have to know -- the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs! 

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the po.st that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! 
Tell us about the most emotional scene you've ever read in a book - and how did you react?

Source
The most emotional scene I've read recently was in the final book of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series, A Memory of Light. (Co-Authored by Brandon Sanderson.) As many of you know, this is one of my favorite series and one I've been reading for years, so you can imagine the ending was quite emotional for me. I'm not going to go into spoilers because I know several people who follow me are reading the series (and given that this was the last of fourteen books any spoilers wouldn't be cool anyway). Suffice it to say, big battles, awesome speeches, tons of fulfilled prophecies/foreshadows, and lots of tragic death. I sat on my bed and sobbed. Enough said.



How about you? What's the most emotional scene you'd ever read?

    Oh I bet this one was emotional for you! Being the last one in such a series it would definitely be expected. Plus, with all the things you listed that it includes...I'm sure I would be rather emotional as well. Great pick! Thank you so much for stopping by my FF. Old follower :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    Haven't read that book either! A lot of the times I would emotional--all sorts of them too--but rarely does a book bring tears to my eyes. I get close though!

    Here's my Follow Friday

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    Liesel, I'm yet to read this book, will check it out on Goodreads.

    Liesel, do you find it beneficial having both Networked Blogs and Linky Followers? I'm trying to decide whether I should offer both as a following option. I just don't want to choose one over the other and some people are unable to follow...decisions, decisions!

    Here's my Feature & Follow

    Have a great weekend!

    I must have been living under a rock, because I haven't even heard of this series.

    I'd have to really think about that. Probably one of the scenes from Nancy Thompson's book, The Mistaken.

    I always get the names Rick Riordan and Robert Jordan confused. Probably because I haven't read any of their books yet! Glad the Jordan series has been so meaningful to you. Thanks for visiting.
