I've read House Rules and The Pact and am intrigued by the questions Picoult raises. She really gets you thinking. Now, I'm not sure which book to pick up next. Any suggestions? Your favourites?
Edit, Feb 7, 2013: I can now add My Sister's Keeper and Change Of Heart to my read-shelf. I liked them both, but was also disappointed by both, for different reasons.
Nineteen Minutes seems to be an overall favourite. I think I'll pick this one up, after Picoult's new book The Storyteller, which has gotten very positive reviews so far.

I've read eight of her novels, including House Rules and The Pact, which are probably my favourites. I would recommend Keeping Faith, which I enjoyed a lot. But if you're looking for a contentious issue you probably can't go wrong with My Sister's Keeper.
I love her so much! The only book I can not seem to get into is Mercy... anyone else? House Rules is my favorite book of hers.
I have read them all and think House Rules and Sing me Home were favorites. Would also suggest reading them in order.
I enjoyed them all except The Tenth Circle and the humpback whale one.
I like them all but there is a bit of an advantage of reading them in order of publication because sometimes characters from previous books pop back up in supporting roles in the new ones.
It doesn't ruin anything to read them out of order, but I think it's fun to rediscover the characters in new books instead of already knowing what happened to them when I read an older one.

She's so brilliant, I adore all of them!
The only one I would tell you not to read is The Tenth Circle as it was okay, but I felt I had to actively plough through.
House Rules, Nineteen minutes, Lone Wolf and Sing you Home are probably my favourites!

I just finished reading "Keeping Faith", which was a roller coaster of events. I also enjoyed Second Glance and Plain Truth. I have eleven of her books and I am waiting till the 26th for her latest book.
House Rules was amazing. I also liked Sing You Home. I am reading 19 Minutes right now.
My Sister's Keeper is my fave of her books, but I loved Perfect Match & Nineteen Minutes as well.
It took me a few chapters to get into House Rules, but I really liked it.

My favorite is "My Sister's Keeper." You should also definitely read "Nineteen Minutes" and "Plain Truth"!
Her new book comes out this month (02/13). It's called The Storyteller. Looking forward to it!

I'm with ya, sister! I thought The Storyteller was not one of her top stories. I even found myself skimming over certain parts of the book. I know whe

Nineteen Minutes is my favorite of all of her books I would recommend it.
I an currently reading Handle with Care which I am enjoying. I really enjoyed House Rules(my favorite of her that I have read). On of her earlier novels and lesser know that I enjoyed was Picture Perfect dealing with domestic violence.

Handle With Care is my favorite!! I couldn't pick up another book for 2 weeks!! It's the kind of story you keep thinking about...over and over!

I'm fourteen and have read all of her novels, but my favorite is definitely Nineteen Minutes, by far. :)
I'm currently reading Sing You Home, I am enjoying it thoroughly. It makes you think of who you are and questions a lot of who you might be.

Plain Truth and Perfect Match. There only other two I've read but I absolutely loved them.
Keeping Faith is really good, i read that most recently. My favourite is Perfect Match. Others that I loved were Change of Heart, Nineteen Minutes, Salem Falls, and House Rules.
"Songs of the Humpback Whales & Picture Perfect", I've also read "House Rules". I'm collecting all of Jodi Picoult's books, she is one of my favoeite authors.
Plain Truth, Songs of the Humpback Whales, any of her books really. You can't go wrong from my experience!
