I just finished Plain Truth last night! I couldn't put it down!!! I saw Keeping Faitha nd My Sister's Keeper at Walmart and might have to pick those up. I also have read Salem Falls which was not quite my style and another one about Vermont but I can't remember the title.

I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult! I loved Plain Truth, and Keeping Faith!
I love how she uses ethics, spirituality, and the very fine line between right and wrong...so thought provoking.
Keeping Faith was the first of her books that I read. It was so interesting, and I really related to the mother, trying to protect her child, wanting to believe her girl, but questioning spirituality VS. religion...trying to believer her....so good!
I have alot of her books, and have read some of them twice.
I realling like My Sister's Keeper too. Oh, and Vanishing Acts...

Those books sound good! i will have to get one. Anyone read any Debbie Macomber books? I love her writing style, it's like visiting with a friend. Also, the books on Tasha Tudors life have always been a favorite of mine. What an independent country woman she is. Her gardens her lifestyle, she is amazing. I will see about getting one of Jodi Picoult's books. I think I would like them.

Jodi Picoult has been a favorite author since a friend of mine clued me
in. I have seen her twice at a book reading here in Cedar Rapids at Barnes and Noble and at Iowa City. The last time was to read an excerpt from Nineteen Minutes the latest book. She is really down to earth and friendly.
My friend and her daughter ate breakfast with her the next day before she left. If interested she has a website Jodipicoult.com with photos and info on the book she is writing now. |
