A Day of Jodi Picoult

It's now been at least one full weekend since my indulgent day of reading Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult in bed for most of a morning and finishing off the evening watching My Sister's Keeper (the movie based on Jodi Picoult's book of the same name).  I didn't mean to be quite so focused on one author, but as I've mentioned before, Jodi Picoult's books are like Lifetime movies and I can always get into one.  They read very quickly and I think I've gotten more or less out of my reading slump.

The movie, on the other hand, was sort of a waste of time.  I am glad that I watched it because it's another DVD sent back to Netflix, but, as with most novel-turned-movies, the movie was just not that good.  Lesson learned.

I was even more indulgent since I watched 2 more DVDs worth of TV shows (Damages and Brothers and Sisters) since it was a long weekend.  I may not be getting much else done, but at least I'm moving along on my couch potato activities!

  1. I completely agree with you about My Sister's Keeper. The book made me a sobbing mess at the end. The movie, not so much.
