My Sister's Keeper is my favorite Jodi book...I did have to stop reading to compose myself so I could see through my tears to finish reading--I couldn't put it down!

Healing Stones - INCREDIBLE. Could not put it down.

I like Tamera Alexander too and haven't seen From A Distance.

Katrina said...

I really liked My Sister's Keeper. And I had no idea Mindy Starns Clark had a new book out -- thanks for mentioning that one, I'll definitely check that one out! Thanks for joining SRT '08!

Picoult = one of my faves. I have her latest on my list. "My Sister's Keeper" is within my "high shelf" of all time. Hopefully you post a review or two as I will be interested in reading what you say about some of your other titles.

CeeCee ~ great list!!! Picoult books are great. I've read Keeping Faith and My Sister's Keeper. Although some of her work is disturbing ~ it's always good and makes for GREAT discussion.

CeeCee, thanks for including Skizzer on your SRT list! BTW, your new blog design is awesome :-)

I just did a live interview on a blogtalk radio program 3/27/08 about Skizzer, what inspired the story, the writing process, etc. You can hear it as a podcast at http://www.jurytheclown.com/theartistpoint.htm

Happy reading!
