Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult
Another Jodi Picoult book. This is the book I am currently reading. I had started another book but couldn't take it on my trip with me, so it got interrupted by Marley & Me, and then this one. I'm close to being finished. This book is different from her other books in the sense that it is following chapter by chapter as opposed to her usual character style. I find all her books the same in that they always contain lawyers and a case and then some kind of family problem. It is still interesting and she has still captivated me to want to know the outcome. I have my own theory, but won't know if I'm correct until I get to the end. I don't think this is one of her best. But it won't stop me from reading her life works.
Ok, update - I finished this a while ago...it did NOT end how I thought it was going to. Totally caught me by surprise. I couldn't believe it, Jodi totally led me in a different direction thinking the crime was committed by someone, who ended up being entirely innocent, and then the kicker; someone I thought was innocent, wasn't! I stand by my previous statement, this bood was ok, but Jodi's written way better.
Marley & Me by John Grogan
My friend bought me this book for my birthday because I fell asleep during part of the movie. From what I can recall, the book isn't an exact replica of the movie. As always, I believe the book is better. And it is a cute story.
A Place Called Freedom by Ken Follett
Again, another very good book. This was our book club book for March. I read it in a week. I couldn't put it down. It's about slaves who work in the coal mines. The main character doesn't agree with how they are treated, and it tell of his journey. Too many things have been happening in my reading world for me to recall more than that. It left a great impression though, I recommend this book.
Remember Me by Lesley Pearse
I've gotten very behind again. I'm just going to give a quick blurb for each book. I loved this book. I found it a little slow to start, but the main character gets caught stealing in the olden days, and she is then shipped off to a secluded spot with a bunch of other prisoners and they have to start a new life, build what they need and survive off the land. The hardships this woman goes through again and again is unimaginable. Great story line.
