I'm close to finishing her book Plain Truth.

It was AMAZING. Now...I don't know where to go next! Apparently she's written like 14 other books, and I didn't know about any of them. So sad.

Has anyone read any of her books? Which one should I go to next?

If you haven't, I suggest you go pick one out NOW. If this one was this good, I cannot WAIT to get another one.

my friend is reading a bookr by her.. i dont remember what its called though
Hedonism
Check to see if she wrote Memory Keeper's Daughter.
If so, AMAZING novel.
I definitely recommend reading it.
CapCaDancer
I'll definately look into that, thank you =D

You should reallyyyy look into Jodi Picoult....out of 14 books, you're bound to find one subject that interests you.

CapCaDancer

but the reading at night caused me to loose a lot of sleep since i couldn't put it down.

edit-

plain truth is the first one i read. i was blown away.


you should read:
nineteen minutes
the tenth circle
KEEPING FAITH. <3
and the pact.

Plain Truth is the first one I'm reading toooo!!

I wanted to go to Tenth Circle next...but I heard it was about a teenage girl and her dad...and to me that's so awkward, I have a horrible relationship with my dad. I don't want to read about the characters bonding and stuff =/

oh no- they weren't really bonding. the family kind of falls apart 'cause she got 'raped' by her boy friend and her mother has an affair w/ her student whose about ten years younger than her. but the comics in the book are cool.
CapCaDancer
WOW.
Ok, then I might be interested. I just don't like family stuff.
Why did you like Keeping Faith so much?

i don't believe in god but this book;
it was about a little girl whose' family is torn apart by her cheating father and she believes she's seeing god. but god takes the shape of a woman ; and biblical things happen to faith that brings in reporters from around the world. the mother ; used to be in an asylum cause her husband cheated on her before - but a reporter; fell in love with her and they ran away for a week or so and she fell in love with him. it was a really moving book.

heh; i know people are gonna read it . but i didn't include the ending. the ending was the most surprising.


:]

I just finished reading Nineteen Minutes. It was one of the best books I have ever read. She's an amazing author.

My Sister's Keepr

Amazing book. It reduced me to tears. I can't believe others didn't mention it yet.

OMG THIS ONE MADE ME CRY TOO! the ending was totally unexpected.
CapCaDancer
I'm reading my sister's keeper now C=

It's one of the three that my stupid school library has.

The first few chapters are amazing, I adore Jodi Picoult now.

the ending made me cry.


go to the public library! XD
CapCaDancer
I cried, too, over My Sister's Keeper. Twice. Once when I read the ending and then once again when I was ok enough to go read the epilogue, or last chapter. I can't remember. =/

I just got through reading 'Mercy'........didn't like it as much as the other ones. Hated Mia. mad.gif

My favorite so far has been 'Plain Truth'.
highwayto4355
damn; my neighbor moved in w/ her daughter and i can't find the books. :[


i couldn't beleive the ending so i read it twice over and cried.
LoveToMySilas
Perfect Match _smile.gif That's a good one.

I've only ever read mercy, and i'm currently halfway throught nineteen minutes.

Which do you recommend next! =] haha.

The memory keepers daughter is one of the best books i've ever read. It's fantastic, but yeah, not by jodi picoult! =]
rockable
OMFG! I ADORE JODI PICOULTS BOOKS! She is such an awesome writer!
I would recommend My Sisters Keeper, and Keeping Faith, The Tenth Circle, Vanishing Acts, Perfect Match, Salem Falls, The Pact, Mercy.. xD I recommend ALL of them! :)

Im so glad Ive found some Jodi fans!
highwayto4355
im reading picture perfect. it's different from her previous ones . and i love it.
Fluid
Haha.
Since my last post, i've read.
Mercy, nineteen minutes, my sisters keeper, plain truth, keeping faith, change of heart, the pact, the tenth circle, now im in the middle of reading vanishing acts.

Theres 2 or 3 that are not published in the uk, so i'll have to get hold of them from ebay =[

The only one of her books which I have read is My Sister's Keeper, which was fantastic, so I highly recommend that.

Although I do have to say that I like one of the supplementary characters a lot more than the main two or three, and wish there could have been more ocus on him, but one can't have everything.

LOVE HER!
i've read my sister's keeper (i sobbed), nineteen minutes and harvesting the heart. they were all amazing! i can't wait to read her other books. hopefully i'll get to them this summer.
The-March-Hare
Has anyone else seen anything about the movie adaptation of My Sister's Keeper? Abigail Breslin as Anna should be reasonably good. I like Thomas Dekker, too, who I assume must be playing Jesse...

Cameron Diaz as Sarah, though... interesting.

The Tenth Circle is an amazing book. My friend lent it to me and I couldn't stop reading it.

Too bad I don't have cable. cry.gif
