Journal Entry 1 by MooMoo1977 from Lismore, New South Wales Australia on Wednesday, April 26, 2006

I really love Jodi Picoult's books. I was hooked by her way of capturing a multitude of emotions and being able to tell a really good story (that was with "My Sister's Keeper").

I am more than happy to send this to someone else and hope they pass it on and share the joy!

Caught!!! I have two books ahead of it, but I should be able to start it soon. Thank you to MooMoo1977 for sharing. Also thank you for including the beautiful postcard of Australia. I wish that I could pack my bags and head down under right now!!!

This is my third Picoult novel and so far, this has been my favorite. I really didn't know how it would all play out and enjoyed the build up to the end. I felt connected with all of the characters and enjoyed the mystery of the story. I was a super fast read, because I could not put it down.

I will be mailing this off to the next reader on Tuesday. Thank you to MooMoo1977 for sharing this wonderful book.

I've got 5 bookrings/rays in front of this one; good thing I'm a fast reader. 

Journal Entry 7 by collectorkerri from Springfield, Illinois USA on Tuesday, November 14, 2006

I think this was my favorite Jodi Picoult so far (out of 3 or 4). It didn't strain my plausibility tolerance like some of her others. The characters were interesting and easy to empathize with.

Sending to dg7500 today. 

Journal Entry 8 by dg7500 from Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA on Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Arrived safely...thank you! I have another book to finish before starting on this one...and the with the kidlets having off for a long holiday weekend, it may be a week until I get started, but that should still give me plenty of time to finish and keep things moving along smoothly. Looks like a great read...thanks MooMoo for passing this along for others to enjoy. Back with more once I've had a chance to get started.

11/29 - Finished reading this late last night...I couldn't put it down until I had read the very last word and knew what the outcome would be for the characters. Of the handful of Picoult books that I've read so far, this is definitely my favorite. I was drawn in from the very beginning...mesmerized by the character driven plot and the emotion behind the storyline. Even now, my heart is still wrapped up in the emotion of the story, and I don't feel ready just yet to start a new book.

I hope to have this mailed out by the weekend.

I just finished reading this book and WOW, I loved it. This was my second Picoult book and I was amazed at the twists in the plot. I've PM'ed JudeK a couple times, I'm still waiting for a mailing address.

No answer from JudeK, now trying Twynnie.

Journal Entry 13 by Twynnie from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Monday, January 01, 2007

This was there waiting for me when I got back from my Christmas holidays, and it's now next on my TBR list. I'm looking forward to reading it, thanks to MooMoo1977 for sharing and to missprisy for passing it on to me! 

Journal Entry 14 by Twynnie from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Sunday, January 14, 2007

I really enjoyed reading this book although it was heart-wrenchingly sad most of the way through. It all seemed so needless and it's scary to think how well Emily could hide her feelings from her family.

This will be off home to MooMoo1977 soon as BellaMack has asked to be skipped for the time being... 

Journal Entry 15 by MooMoo1977 from Lismore, New South Wales Australia on Monday, January 22, 2007

After a looong journey around the world - I have decided I hate books...because they get to travel more than me! Hahahaha! OK...boom boom! :P

Ahem. Anyway - thank you to Twynnie for sending it back to me in wonderful condition...and thank you to ALL of you who helped this little novel truck its way around the globe. It's been an awesome journey and this is the FIRST ring I have done that's been HUGE and successfully completed!

THANKS GUYS AND GALS! :)

I will be placing it on reserve for BellaMack just in case she gets a chance to read it later.

Once again - thank you so much to everyone who joined the ring. I am so glad you all enjoyed the book and thank you for making it welcome in your hearts and homes! xxx
