Jodi Picoult fan looking for new author/book suggestions.

Post by Skron37 »

I have read many of Jodi Picoult's books and really enjoy them, but I need something new. I also enjoyed The Help and The Kitchen House. I would appreciate any suggestions you all have for good books and/or authors.
Thanks!

Try Kristin Hannah. I read Firefly lane a few months ago and really enjoyed it and after that Magic Hour which was also good. I found her books more enjoyable to read than Jodi Picoult's books, not that they aren't good too, but I thought some of them were a little slow going.

Thanks for the suggestions. The only one I've read from that list is Left Neglected and I really enjoyed it. I will try some of the others.

I've enjoyed Anita Shreve books (Testimony was my favorite).
