Day 13 – My favorite writer

Jodi Picoult! You might be surprised that
I didn't say J.K. Rowling
(considering two of my book challenges thus far - Day 2 and Day 3 - have been about Harry Potter), but though I love Rowling's characters and the magical world she created, I've never
felt any particular attachment to the author herself. Jodi Picoult, on
the other hand, absolutely fascinates me. But I guess if you've been a regular reader of my blog, you're already aware of
my slight obsession. :) Her books cover a wide range
of ethically charged dilemmas, from reproductive rights to assisted
suicide and abuse to adultery. Her characters are always so incredibly
well developed, and I've probably cried in at least half of her books.
(I'm currently all up-to-date, having read all 18 of her novels, and I can't
wait for Lone Wolf to be released at the end of this month!) I also follow
Jodi on Twitter, and she seems like a pretty cool mom and person. So kudos to you, Jodi Picoult! You grabbed my attention when I read
Plain Truth in 2004 and haven't let go since! Keep writing!
