The Jodi Picoult Project

One of my favorite blogs has a new interesting reading Challenge. Suko’s Notebook has introduced The Jodi Picoult Project. For this challenge, one needs to commit to reading at least one novel by this prolific author. The reading challenge will run from October 2011 through October 2012.


I enjoy Jodi Picoult’s novels and I have two on my shelf that I borrowed from my sister-in-law, Sing You Home and House Rules that I need to read. I also would love to read Plain Truth and Salem Falls. These two novels were my good friend Laura Hivala’s favorite Picoult novels. She recommended them to me and I’ve had them on my to-read list for quite a while! I’ll try to read these four books over the next year . . . or at least one of them!

Thank-you for the great new challenge Suko!

  4. I may have to check out this challenge. I have read and enjoyed a few of her books. A friend of mine recently picked me up a signed copy of Sing You Home. Out of the ones I have read, I most enjoyed The Pact and Mercy. I didn't love Salem Falls - it was just sort of OK for me.

  5. I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult and this book didn't disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a typical Picoult twist at the end, but she still kept her moral dilemma theme. The controversial issue in this book is very relevant to modern times. There were many themes that we hear about on a daily basis. From religion to homosexuality to embryos to divorce to teacher/student relationships, she had you wrapped up in all of it.
