Addictions, Curve Balls, and Twists

What is my favorite thing to do? Most people assume it’s dancing, especially with me being a Cougarette, but guess what, it’s not!  I have a passion for reading.  Funny, right?  Often times people think dancers don’t like to read, or aren’t very good at it, but I absolutely love it!  I’ll tell you a secret- I’m not allowed to read during the school year because I become addicted and cannot put the book down, I love it that much!  One of my favorite authors to read is Jodi Picoult.  She has written many award-winning novels; ‘My Sister’s Keeper’, ‘House Rules’, and ‘The Pact’ are just a few of her many successful and intriguing books.  Each of her books involves complex relationships filled with love, hope, and anger.  All of her characters are very deep and well thought out.  Picoult’s style of writing involves the genres of her books.  Each of her novels is created around complicated plot lines constructed by webs of relationships.  She incorporates psychology and a lot of philosophical ideas of what is right and what is wrong.  My favorite part of her books is the curve ball that she throws at the end of each book. Picoult holds you in suspension for the entire book, wondering what is the truth.  By the end, you think you have detected what happened during the conflict of the book, but then she throws a twist that you never expected.  Her books have kept me up until the wee hours of the morning reading to see what happens next, they are that addictive!  After I had finally completed the books, I realized that it was morning and I had read through the entire night!  Her books are absolutely amazing; I would recommend Jodi Picoult to anyone.
