Well, I had a whole post ready for today and I can’t, I can’t do it.
I can’t do it because I’ve been flummoxed by a book.
I just finished it and I’m shaking a little, I was crying at the food place.I ran into a fellow docent and I couldn’t talk to her, I have no idea what I said. I didn’t recognize her and she waved to me, and tears were streaming down my face. I think I might have told her that things were “totally awesome”.
The book?
“My Sisters Keeper” by Jodi Picoult. I have just newly discovered this well known author and am eating her books like they’re Ho Ho’s. I originally read “Vanishing Acts” which was wonderful, but this, this is a great book.
It’s about two sisters, one who was genetically bred to be a bone marrow match for her sister who has cancer.
It’s all I can say.
Just…get it.
Now.

She's really an amazing writer. I think I love her.
This book though, was even an exception to her already beautiful writing.
Just the best book, totally captivating.
YAY!
that book is intense .. it's the only one of hers i've read. im afraid to get into others now!
I'm so glad everyone loves this book. It makes me feel better.
I'm still distressed by it.
fiction books are like candy to me -- entertainment. in one eye and out the other. but i remember reading this one and it being very powerful. i want to read more of hers. but this book is pretty vague in my memory now. i remember it haunted me for days afterward, but it's been some time now.
maybe i should read it again. see! this is why i don't want to get rid of books!
