Jodi Picoult is my fave author <3 I LOVE My Sister's Keeper, The Tenth Circle, Nineteen Minutes, Perfect Match, House Rules... sooo many more, I really love them all. She has a new one out now that I can't wait to get.
Ummm.... I started North River, by Pete Hamill, and like it so far!
I LOVED The Art of Racing in the Rain. I loved Dog On It by Spencer Quinn, too... most dog books I tend to love, but maybe I'm biased, lol.
