- Latest Review: To Paint A Murder by E. J. Gandolfo
I feel Jodi Picoult is an overrated author, but I am reading this book for my in-person book club. It's pretty good so far. However, the chapters are very long and I like books that switch among too many points of view. In this case, there are three points of view.

I look forward to hearing what you think!erasmus wrote:Gravy wrote:Started the newest Psy/Changeling novel by Nalini Singh, Silver Silence.
I want to read Silver Silence so badly, but the library has yet to have the book on their shelves...
So, for now, I'm reading End of Days by Susan Ee.
I was very nervous with the switch into the "second act", as it were. I shouldn't have been. I loved it. (Just finished it a few days ago.)
Feel free to message me if you ever want to discuss the series, and I hope your library has it soon!
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Jodi Picoult is overrated. She manages to take really good ideas and butcher them with dreadful dialogue and a style I call smart- ass American.bookowlie wrote:Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

You are doing something interesting right there. That sounds like hard work, though. I'm cheering you on.DennisK wrote:I decided to do a cover to cover read of the Bible.

I may go back to Deuteronomy after I finish The Source.

Thank you, CHL. I find that I am not very interested in those genealogical sections of the Bible as my heritage isn't Jewish nor did I find relevant the census of Jews during that period of our history. Other than that, reading the Bible isn't that much of a burden. However, after finishing the second book Chronicles, I felt saturated with stories of all their kings since Saul. One king would follow the laws brought to them by Moses, and the next would not. Back and forth, their history would go – first with famine, then with plenty, or first they would conquer and then they would be conquered - all coinciding with how they followed their original commandments. It all seemed so predictable and yet, so senseless. That is why I stopped at that point and picked up Michener's The Source as I need a different perspective.CHL wrote:You are doing something interesting right there.
