Will do!
I would double quote, but I haven't figured that out yet. It makes me
when people spoil the ending of a book. I was reading a trilogy that took the two years for me to read, because I was hooked on the first book. I introduced a co-worker to the books and when I had 50 pages left of the third book, she comes in and spoils the ending. I was reading the damn book on my break, so she could see I wasn't finished! It took me another year to finish those 50 pages, because I was like-why bother?? I made a pledge to try and only tell someone about the first chapter of a book to try and hook them if at all possible-which with Jodi Picoult is easy.
On another note, if you ever get a chance to go to her book signing, she is really nice in person. She took down her publicity signs at the bookstore so more people could see her while she was doing her reading. Did you know she was a layed off teacher? She got her pink slip after one year and started writing. This wasn't even her intended career. She was also very humble about the responses she received from the audience. You could see she was overwhelmed by everyone not only sitting on chairs, but sitting on the floor and standing throughout the whole store. She brought such a crowd they host her somewhere else now.
