EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Hello all - starting up discussions for the January 2017 BOTMs. This discussion is for the group's poll selection for the MODERN CLASSICS/POPULAR reads category: Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult.

This discussion will be spoiler-free. If you have already read the book and want to discuss, hop on over to the spoiler-filled discussion HERE .

Happy reading!

I've read one other book by Jodi Picoult and that's My Sister's Keeper. It was really good, so I look forward to picking this one up.

My Sister's Keeper was the only one I've read too! I actually ended up buying this one since I was #35 on the waiting list on 5 copies of it at the library. So I guess it's popular! Starting it tonight or tomorrow, since I'm still waiting on Dune.

Ok, just finished my comments on A Christmas Carol and about to start the Picoult book! I am so happy I joined this group. I used to always have a book with me when I was younger, but in the last 10 years, its been a painful challenge for me to finish a book. I still carry one with me everywhere, but I've always got about 6 I've started and rarely excited enough to finish one. I've just been restless with my reading. This group is giving me focus and I'm excited to read again. Thank you :-)

Mary, that's exactly how I feel about this club too. It's given me a reading goal and I even try to read my own books on the side too. I would never have read even one book a month if I hadn't joined the club, I only really read on my break in work before. Now my favourite thing to do is curl up on my sofa with the cat and a good book!

Looking forward to picking this one up to read, hopefully in the next week or so.

Just went to the library and put this on hold!

About halfway through. Have to admit wasn't really a Picoult fan before this (read a few of her books: Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper, and Second Glance) but I'm into this book.

See I am the opposite. I really like Picoult's other books (have read all of them except 1 or 2), but I didn't really like this one too much

I'd never actually read any of her books before. Just started this one but I'm enjoying it already. I knew from the reading I saw her do the characters would be strong and interesting and so far I'm not disappointed!

I finally started this book. The blurb didn't indicate the multiple perspectives, and I was pleasantly surprised by the perspective of the white surpremicist. Not all villains intend to be villainous.

I'm a little over halfway done with this one. I love it, the topics in this book are definitely fitting for the times we are living in and shouldn't be ignored.
