Kelly, I really liked "Marley", too. I'm tempted to see the movie - are you a movie goer?
After reading the book, I'm not so sure I will want to see the movie...so emotional!! haha. I might be tempted though.
Kelly- I am about 1/2 way through Twilight- I am reading it just to see what all the media hype is about! So far so good- an easy read.
Merri, I was reading it for the same reason...haha! I got drawn in pretty quickly though. Definitely made me curious to read the others in the series (I'm working on New Moon now).

Ahrcadia, I really enjoyed it. I was surprised because I don't read a ton of non-fic, but I won it through goodreads and gave it a try. You can read through my GR review if you want, I gave it 4 stars.
73. Picture Perfect by Jodi Picoult (4 stars) 12/27/09Maybe I should take this week off from work so I can finish 2 more books. LOL
