My fav female writers...

Eighteen years ago, my first read was written by an American female author, Mary Higgins Clark. From then on, I love her style of writing and the characters. Few months ago, I started building up my collection and now Im adding Jodi Picoult in my list of female writers. She writes elaborately with slices of medical and family issues...

Recently, I read Clark's novel entitled, "I heard that song before". The book was a gift from my former boss, Ma'am Teng Suselo during my visit in Bangkok. With a medical issue as the focus, it is a page-turning story and I was wrong with the ending... nevertheless it was a happy one!

With Picoult's stories, I was fascinated with "Second Glance", much more interesting read than "My Sister's Keeper". Her "Perfect Match" is worth grabbing from the book stand - with perfectly a big twist at the end!
Another interesting bits of Jodi's books is that there are added pages to asnwer some basic questions which focus on her motivations to write these stories...
