Book Club: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers. I've been re-reading My Sister's Keeper this month so that I can discuss the book's interesting topics with you before the movie comes out. Are you ready to talk about this controversial ending? First, here's a recap of how the Book Club goes: Every week I've suggested chapters to complete by the next post (which, in this case, went up every Friday in May). Read more

Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers. I'm re-reading My Sister's Keeper this month and am having a great time reading all of your thoughts on this provocative book. This was a brief section, but there's still much to chat about. Here's a recap of how the Book Club goes: Every week I'll suggest chapters to complete by the next post (which, in this case, will go up every Friday in May). In these Read more

Book Club: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult 2009-05-15 07:30:49

Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers. I'm re-reading My Sister's Keeper this month, and I'm finding myself taking breaks between each character's section because it's pretty emotionally draining. You would think I'd be a little numb to it the second time around — but nope. Here's a recap of how the Book Club goes: Every week I'll suggest chapters to complete by the next post (which, in this Read more

Buzz Book Club: My Sister's Keeper, Section One

Welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers. I think I might have blocked out how intense My Sister's Keeper is because I'm finding the re-read to be just as emotional as the first time I stepped into this family's world. How are you doing with it? I can't wait to start talking about this provocative book with you. First, a recap of how the Book Club goes: Every week I'll suggest chapters to complete by Read more

Buzz Book Club: The Conclusion of Four Blondes

Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! The time has come to bid farewell to the characters of Bushnell's world in Four Blondes. It seems fitting that the final story in this book would be the most autobiographical (although I have no idea if Bushnell ever went to London looking for love) because she seems most at home with this character. If you're new to the Book Club, this is how it goes: every Read more

Buzz Book Club: Four Blondes, Section Three

Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! We're now three stories into Four Blondes, and somehow I'm not surprised that she gave us an honest-to-goodness princess in the section we read this week. I suppose after former model and magazine editor, it's the next logical place to go, right? Sidenote: I really think Candice Bushnell's at her best when she's writing in the first person. The story raised a Read more

Buzz Book Club: Four Blondes, Section Two

Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! Now that we've read the first two stories in Four Blondes, I gotta say this second section was better crafted than the first but these characters give Janey a run for her money in the "abhorrent" department. Still, that's good stuff to discuss, especially since they're a little less materialistic and far more pretentious. If you're new to the Book Club, this Read more

Buzz Book Club: Four Blondes, Section One

Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! Before we start, I want to say that I know many of you have already read Four Blondes and were either turned off or maybe even appalled by the main characters. You should know I'm right there with you. However, just like with movies, I think there is something interesting and valuable about examining what makes a book fail in comparison to others in its Read more

Buzz Book Club: Four Blondes

Hello Buzz Book Club readers! First of all, happy Friday! Now, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little emotionally spent from several Buzz Book Club books in a row that dragged us through the emotional ringer (Revolutionary Road, The Life Before Her Eyes). Given that and the fact that it's Springtime, I thought I'd pick a light and frothy book for my May selection: Four Blondes by Read more
