Welcome to day ten of the A-Z Challenge – J is for Jodi Picoult.
My theme for this year is “The A-Z of My Favourite Books and Authors”. Each day (except Sunday) will feature a book or author whose title or first or last name starts with the corresponding letter of the alphabet.
I love Jodi Picoult’s ability to pull you into her character’s lives. Her books are always extremely well researched and that shows in the story. She often has a court case going on which I enjoy, but I really love the moral dilemmas she places her characters in. They really make you think and try to work out what the hell you would do if you were faced with a similar choice.
It’s really hard to choose just three of her books, but if pressed, I would say my favourites are The Pact, Nineteen Minutes and My Sister’s Keeper.
Have you read any Jodi Picoult? Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments 🙂
You can find me here: Twitter Facebook Bloglovin Pinterest and Instagram Please do stop by and say hi!
I haven’t read any of Jodi Picault but my daughter loves her. If I am correct, she writes a lot about people dying, doesn’t she? I can’t read that stuff.
Not really – she writes about normal people that find themselves in situations that pose some sort of moral dilemma. You’re probably thinking of My Sister’s Keeper, once they made it into a movie it became her most famous book and that centres around a girl who is very sick.
Another favourite author – her writing style is fab
Definitely!
I have several of her books and my favourite is probably The Storyteller.
I loved that one too!
No sorry, I have not read any of her books probably because I’m not much of a reader. Once in a blue moon I might get the feeling for it, but it has to be a story I like. I like Stephen King believe it or not, but no gory stuff. Did you ever read the Gunslinger? There’s 7 books all together with that story, but so far I finished the first one and that’s an accomplishment in itself for me. hahahaha~ Have a great day & thanks for sharing!!!
Yes, I’ve read the series. I enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s one of his best
Dropping in on the AtoZ. Always down for a good read. Looks like she’s a best seller. Our library was closed for some time under a major reno due to safety issues. Ready to go check it out again.
It must have been strange not having a library
I think I have read almost every one of Jodi’s books. Favorites – “Leaving Time” and “Small Great Things”
I need to get around to Small Great Things
Thanks for passing by and leaving a comment.
MMMmmm I write loads but read very little that is not art based or technical. Good Luck on the A to Z
Thank you 🙂
My favorites from her are “Leaving Time”, “Small Great Things” and “The Storyteller”
I loved The Storyteller. Small Great Things is still in my tbr pile – I need to get around to it!
I don’t read much fiction, but when I do it has to have a cat on the cover 🙂
Haha 🙂
I have not read any of her books. She sounds like a good writer.
New name for me but had heard of the one made into the movie.
DB McNicol, author
I haven’t actually watched the movie because apparently they changed the ending to something ridiculous lol
No I have not read this book, sounds interesting:)
Thank you Debbie for all the wonderful books you enabled me to discover this month. Many Authors I did not know. Jodi Picoult whom I discovered two years ago is my favourite, because as you so rightly put it she makes us think out the dilemmas of her character. We thus find ourselves living new and unexpected situations as if we had become these characters. Congratulations on your very fruitful challenge. Hope you enjoyed it .
Thank you, I hope you enjoy some of the books 🙂
