DAY 14: *FAVORITE NA*
I haven't read too many New Adult books, aside from Jodi Picoult's stuff. Mainly because I just really love her books, especially The Tenth Circle, My Sister's Keeper, The Pact, and Nineteen Minutes.
Picoult is an amazing author, and her writing shows it. Before starting a new novel, she always does research on whatever topic she's going to be writing about, and will even get first-hand experience on something if she's able (e.g. she has visited jails and court rooms, spent some time on Amish farms, and has talked to numerous characters and people of different occupations).
While I've read many of her books, these four are my favorite. Each book deals with a different topic, including rape, a school shooting, cancer and a suicide pact.
Since Picoult's book are targeted toward adults, some of the themes and topics discussed in her books might be a bit too intense or graphic for some younger readers. I advise reading reading the book's summary before deciding if a book is for you.
If this is your first time reading a Picoult book, what did you think of it? Yay or nay? And if you're already a fan of Picoult, what are some of your favorite books by her?
