I was at the library again yesterday and someone had just returned "Handle With Care" by Jodi Picoult. It came out earlier this year but was in such high demand from the library that I could never get it. So I of course grabbed it before they could return it to the shelf and started it last night.
Jodi is one of my favorite authors. Her books read very easy yet she conqers subjects that I relate to with depth, meaning, and understanding. I attended the author event with her given by the Lake Forest Book Store a few years ago where she read from "19 minutes". It was so cool to hear her reading from her own book! I even got up the guts to ask her a question about returning characters.
The first book I read of hers was "The Pact" when Chris, Lisa, Kathy and I were bookclubbing together. I have been reading her ever since.
I'm not putting down "Pride and Prejudice" completely..just holding it for a later date.
