I am so jealous of your being able to hear Jodi speak especially about HOUSE RULES. I have taught high functioning autistic Asperger children and read many books on it but this was my first fiction book and she did a magnificent job with it. I wish I could have heard her speak. If the book interested you, may I recommend COWBOY AND WILLS by Monica Holloway if you haven't read it? Just go to her site and hear hear speak briefly about her son Wills and their dog Cowboy and how he helped Wills with his asperger syndrome...I LOVE that book so much! Thanks for sharing a wonderful post!Bingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183152217815178286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-14404411358609683742010-03-31T22:57:58.687-05:002010-03-31T22:57:58.687-05:00Hi there: Just discovered your site and have subs...Hi there: Just discovered your site and have subscribed.

I'm not a follower of your blog on your actual blog, but I do subscribe to your posts via Google Reader, if that counts! :) It's hard to pick a favorite Picoult book, as I've literally read them all. I think I can narrow it down to the first two that I read: My Sister's Keeper & Keeping Faith. Those two just blew me away and made me a lifelong fan.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790886786891683055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-70240290941991697922010-03-21T20:57:25.586-05:002010-03-21T20:57:25.586-05:00oops...I just noticed I never put my email: biblio...oops...I just noticed I never put my email: bibliophilebythesea AT gmail DOT com<br /><br />thanks Molly(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-90948228733507702342010-03-20T11:55:25.067-05:002010-03-20T11:55:25.067-05:00I liked vanishing acts.

It was <i>My Sister's Keeper</i>, which I reviewed on my blog. It's wonderful how skillfully this writer employs multiple narrators, and how she writes about the important issues relevant to our times. <i>House Rules</i> seems to be especially pertinent, with the increase in autism in the U.S., which affects so many children, families, schools, and communities.<br /><br />Molly, thanks for hosting this great giveaway.

I've heard other bloggers talk about what a great speaker Picoult is at these kinds of events. <br /><br />I have read several Picoult novels and really like the multiple POV she uses. Last year I read Nineteen Minutes and was mesmerized...so I guess that would be my favorite so far (although I've enjoyed them all!).<br /><br />Thanks for the contest!!<br /><br />caribousmom (at) gmail (dot) comWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-22038773611568974932010-03-15T06:29:27.800-05:002010-03-15T06:29:27.800-05:00Fantastic post!
