Thank you all so much! I've been trying to find some new authors to read for a few months now and I just didn't seem to be having much luck on my own. This is one of the reasons I love it here. I can get help from all over the world. And I trust your opinions.
I'm pretty bogged down with classes right now, but I'll probably procrastinate a bit by looking into your suggestions. And please keep them coming! I'm glad others are benefiting from this thread besides me.
Oh, and if anyone hasn't read Jodi Picoult, I highly recommend her! A few of her books have been turned into Lifetime movies, but they didn't do them justice. My absolute favorite was The Pact. It's very emotional and I've created quite a few Jodi fans on this book alone.
Thanks again!!!
