My Sister’s Keeper
I devoured this incredible book by Jodi Picoult while we were away in Victoria a couple weekends ago and Michael and I went to the movie last week. Just the 1-minute trailer made me cry.
This story of two sisters, one dying, one living to prolong the other’s life, is all together gripping, beautiful, provocative and entirely unmissable. I encourage you to read the book (the film I could take or leave, though it did get good reviews).

Good chatting with you just now… I read the book several months ago before I knew there was a film and I loved it. She has some really great books.
Is it bad that I don’t want to read her books solely based on the covers? They remind me of Christian Fiction. *shudder*
Maybe I’ll give one a try someday.
Haha — I would try look past the covers, Meg. Just buy the book cheap and rip them off. ;)
It was wonderful hearing your voice, Lynn! I can’t wait to see you in a few short months…
Ahhh I just finished the book before I came to see you! LOVED IT. And bawled the entire last 40 pages. I also just finished reading her book, “Vanishing Act” - there’s some prison scenes that are a little graphic and disturbing, but I guess that’s how she writes - the hard truth about things. And yes, I’m spending my Sunday online.
