You should take it with you when you are out and about and if your on the bus or train or waiting for someone you can read it.Quote:

weve got all the ones that are out in papaerback i think, i know 2 more are out in hardback but theyre too expensive atm lol! my mum reads them as well so she buys them all which saves me having to wait til i have enough money! i think the only other one weve got that i havent read is "nineteen minutes", ill read that after ive finished "mercy"Quote:

Nineteen minutes is probably my favourite Jodi book so far.
I need to buy some books for my month holiday, Im gonna need one for the flight there, and then on the way back, and maybe 3 for the actual month :hmm: Just need to find some
WHSmith are doing a 3 for 2 on all books :D
Yh, dakota didnt want to shave her hair, i dont blame her, i wouldnt either, the only thing that may have swayed it is that it is an amazing bookQuote:

Finished Plain Truth. The legal side of the ending was confusing she didn't really explain it very well I thought I'd missed a page or something, very good apart from that :)
ive read that about a year ago, i can remember vaguely what happened but cant exactly remember the legal bit at the endQuote:

I cried for the last few chapters.. I really enjoyed it.. it is sad but also very funny and warm... you can't help but become attached to the characters.
Abigail, when it was given to me, I left it on a shelf for ages cause it didn't seem to my kind of book either but when I picked it up, I couldn't put it down, I really love it now
I am just loving PS. I love you. What a wonderful book. :clap:
Ive nearly finished reading that book. Its such a great book :)Quote:

When tragedy takes away Beths father and mother she and her brother sam set off for a new life in america leaving their baby sister in the arms of an adoptive family......
I'm reading the Sue Limb books, Girl, 15 Charming but Insane etc.
Read the first 2 and loved them. They're like... in the "childrens/teenage reading section" but they make me laugh sooo much. I love them :) Just finished the second one on holiday so now I have to go and buy the third book :D
I'm reading Overheard in a Dream by Torey Hayden. The best book I've read in a while.
I'm reading Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. It's quite good - dealing with a sensitive subject well so far. I've also got Vanishing Act and Brick Lane to take with me on holiday.
Ive finished resading 'Where Rainbows end' It was such a good book, but sad at the same time, I just kept reading and reading
Im now reading 'A piece of Cake' By Cupcake Brown
Aww I've always wanted to read Where Rainbows End... but I can't find it anywhere! It sucks... but I will find it! I'm determined too!
Im reading journeys end for college, but i dont seem to have got further tha the first page
I find set texts are really bad. At GCSE we had to read the most boring books ever written.Quote:

God are they still making you read "off Mice and Men" We had to read that when I was at school and I left school 25 years ago.
the only books we had to do was romeo and juliet, and the inspector calls for gcse which i thought were allrightQuote:
