The Pact is one of my favorites and one of the most haunting books I've ever read. I love Jody Picoult and I've been trying to get my hands on all her books. I just finished My Sister's Keeper (awesome) and Songs of the Humpback Whale (good, but not as good The Pact or Sister's Keeper).

Nanny Diaries was good too. Now I'm reading In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner.

lorsin- I just finished the Pact finally and ya know I dont know if I loved it or hated it...but it was very very haunting, I could not stop thinking about it and felt very weird afterwards...that must say something...I just felt like I didnt understand Emily's charecter enough...but WOW, it was different and Im glad I read it!

It definitely affects you!! I'm glad you read it. What's next on your list? I finished In Her Shoes (good, but a little choppy) and moved on to 'Can you Keep A Secret' by Sophie Kinsella. I really like it so far.

I just finished 'The summer Fletcher Greel loved me' by Suzanne Kingsbury. That was such a well-written, detailed story. I can't get it out of my head!

I finished Lucky - it was quite moving and interesting to read about Alice Sebold's life.

Now I'm reading 'Can You Keep a Secret' it reminds me of Trading Up and Devil Wears Prada type of books - a great read for the summer!

I loved Lucky and Can You Keep A Secret.

Looking for a new book now. Maybe I'll try the Jane Green one - I loved Bookends.

I didnt read bookends but I read Mr. Maybe and thought it was great...and Jenimma J was my first book from her...again well worth it...they are nice fast reads...I was gonna buy 'Babyville' by her today but I'm gonna see if the library has it first...I need to stop reading so much..he he he....

eta' I just read 'The Soloman Sisters wise up'...cant remember who wrote it but I read it in one day, it was very good! ( stupid title but very funny and intelligent for a womans type of book)

Which one did they make a movie about?

I finished My Sister's Keeper - it is very well written, but very sad.

Now I'm reading 'Lucky' by Alice Sebold. I liked Lovely Bones, so I figured I'd try this one.

Was lovely bones sad? I want to read this but I get too emotionally involved sometimes...lol

Also who read 'Bergdorf Blondes'? Was it any good?

Lovely Bones has parts that are kind of heart-wrenching, but it wasn't too 'fetal-position-on-the-couch-crying-openly-while-listening-to-Sarah-McLaughlin'.

Lovely Bones is a sad concept, but it gives you a nice of idea of heaven and an after life.

Can you Keep a Secret was good - I read it very quickly.

Now I'm reading To Have and To Hold - its very good too. My first Jane Green book, I'll definitely get more after this!

Re: What's on your nightstand right now?????

I am now reading The Photograph by Penelope Lively, its very slow going, I'll let you know how it is when I finish it. So far (I'm 1/2 way through) I wouldn't recommend it.

I loved Dive from Clausen's Pier. Great read!

I just finished this...It was very moving, almost depressing in a way. I dont even know how I feel about the way it ended, but it was a well written very good book...
