Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie (bloominchick) please don't hate me because i've never read any of her books! but, after watching the 2 video's on her goodreads profile, i want to read one of her books!

which one of her book have you read that's really stuck with you?

thanks so much for your help!

I'd help but I have to confess I've never read any either.

Mandy You must read My Sister's Keeper but be sure to keep the tissues handy!!! This was the first one I read of hers as well and my goodness, great book.

Rolana | 22 comments I have to agree with Mandy. My Sister's Keeper was the first book I read by her and I was hooked right away. Definitely start with My Sister's Keeper.

Liz My first Jodi Picoult book was Second Glance. Not your typical story. A bit of romance, a bit of ghost story but very interesting and very good!! I love all her books though lol :0)

Jo I hate to be a wet blanket, but My Sister's Keeper was the first and last book of JP I read. I just did not like her style, her writing, or much of anything. Sorry.

Kristen | 0 comments I've only read My Sister's Keeper but that's a good one!

Erika The books I most recommend by J.P. are (1) My Sister's Keeper and (2) Nineteen Minutes (3) Mercy....I absolutely hated Second Glance. Salem Falls and Faith are slower, but worth the read....but definitely not ones I would recommend to start of with. She is one of my favorite authors.....Can't wait to hear what you think of the books :)

Angela Avery | 8 comments I read My Sister's Keeper first, and so I recommend that one. It'll make you want to read all of her other books, which is good becaus they are amazing!


Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie (bloominchick) got my sister's keeper at the library yesterday for 75 CENTS! bargain!

Peanut | 149 comments I agree with My Sister's Keeper. It was the first I read by her and is still my favorite.

You'll notice a pattern with her stories eventually and maybe it will affect how you enjoy them...I'll explain what I mean after you read this book.

April (contusions96) My Sister's Keep was the first one I read too. I loved it for the most part. I agree with Peanut that you will notice a pattern after you read several of her books.


Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie (bloominchick) i haven't started my sister's keeper yet ~ i got sidetracked by loving frank by nancy horan!!!

Kami | 2 comments such a trend- but i read My Sister's Keeper first too. And it is my favorite of hers(although i havent read many). I'm dying to read 19 Minutes but it's ALWAYS checked out.
The Pact was pretty good too...but My Sister's Keeper was a great read. the story. the style. the characters. everything.
