Jodi Picoult

There are far too many good authors for me to choose one, but Jodi Picoult is definitely a favorite. She was recommended to me by Mrs. Laidacker.  I first read My Sister's Keeper and then I was hooked. She intertwines well researched legal, medical, and controversial social issues into her suspenseful plots. Jodi Picoult (whose last name is pronounced Pee KOE) is the bestselling author of fifteen novels.
We have the following Picoult novels in our library:
Plain Truth
My Sister's Keeper
Nineteen Minutes
Handle With Care

My Sister's Keeper was made into a movie but the ending is different from the book. Has anyone seen it?

We have ordered The Pact. I'll let you know when it arrives!

Mysteries of the Unknown

Have you checked out Mrs. Lynch's SPOOKY table laden with books that are sure to send a shiver up your spine? While most of the selections are fiction, included are books from the Mysteries of the Unkown series published by Time-Life. The complete list of titles in our library are:
Psychic Voyages
Ancient Wisdom and Secret Sects
Spirit Summonings
Dreams and Dreaming
Phantom Encounters
Mystic Places
Hauntings
Transformations
Cosmic Connections
Search for the Soul
Mysterious Creatures
Visions and Prophecies
Mind Over Matter
Witches and Witchcraft
Time-Life's series "Mysteries of the Unknown" is a fascinating and well accounted collection of strange phenomena and speculations. This is a great series, and provides information from many well known sources. Remember, however, that much of what you read is speculation and not scientific fact. Always read critically! If you are looking for a few goosebumps, however, the library might be able to help!
