I read Ida B! I thought it was really good.
We miss you guys here too!
Hi, Amy, glad to see you back on Shelfari! Hope you're settling in. Have you read any of those Jody P books since the earlier discussions? I can't remember if you read My Sister's Keeper with bookgroup or not. It is excellent, but you need some serious "rest" after reading it; it's _intense_. By rest, I mean fluffy books or feel-good books. I liked 10th Circle, but I definitely understand why others don't. I related very closely to the family arrangement and have wanted DH to read it. It will definitely disturb you as the mom of a daughter who will soon be the age of the character. It made me think about the things I can do to prevent such tragedies though. I'm still not ready to read 19 Min. It's on my list, but when I think about it, I'm just not ready. I think it would be good to go away for a bookgroup weekend and listen to it together or something so that there is lots of support! I asked DH and DD about listening together, and they both said NO WAY! Tell EM hi for me.
Thanks for the invite Amy. I look forward to sharing book ideas with you!
Great taste in books! I loved the Golden Compass and the Fifth sacred thing might be my favorite book of all time. I would enjoy being your Shelfari friend...
I first read Second Glance and I loved it! I also loved The Pact, My Sister's Keeper and Nineteen Minutes. The last three have very intense subject matter. The only book of hers that I didn't love was The Tenth Circle. Hope that helps!
My sister's keeper is very good - but be warned, as a mother it tugs at your heartstrings!! The other was good too, though not as memorable as 'MSK'. Those are the only 2 by JP that I've read so far. I have MSK if you want to borrow it.
Thanks Amy for letting me know about this great website! I think it will be really fun.Love, Lisa
