I've offered my thoughts on most of these, just the Jodi Picoult has been avoided! So here goes. I read House Rules a few weeks ago and I was so disappointed. You know how you set yourself up. I had all these rave reviews about it so I suppose I went in with a blinkered vision and was setting myself up for a fall - and so I did LOL I did put it down half way through and consider not finishing it, but I hate to be beaten, so I waded through the rest! And I did feel pretty bad cos I had bought it for Joy as a Christmas present - she says she loved it, but I'm not convinced!
Then at a car boot last weekend I spotted Keeping Faith. I had a chat to the owner and explained my reservation. She persuaded me to give it a try, saying that there had been a JP book she didn't enjoy, but that Keeping Faith was well worth a read, and for 50 pence what did I have to lose! And I'm so glad I did. It was one of those that once I started I could not put down, and I literally started it in the garden in the afternoon and finished it in the early hours the next morning LOL
I will have to look at my Goodreads list ... but I know the last month I've been at a record low. Very little time to read with Alexandra in my life! I'm happy to make the tradeoff!
