Chaos: Don't Care About The Reading Order For Jodi Picoult Novels?
I recommend this order myself.
I suggest you jump right right into My Sisters Keeper (2004) [Amazon] and read forward from there (I mean, progress to her newest novels and leave her older ones behind).
The reason is, that's about the time Jodi Picoult starting getting a serious following, and, as with all authors, she really found her writing style groove after her first 10 novels.
If you get through that dozen, perhaps you could go right back to where it began with Songs of the Humpback Whale (1992) [Amazon], and read forward from there again.
It makes it a bit tricky for keeping track of which ones you've read, but Jodi Picoult wrote them in such a way that each story exists on it's own.
There are only a handful of references to previous characters and some books have no references at all. So if your reading style is chaos, then go for it.
As for me, I like publishing order starting from the middle of the list and reading forward.
What about you? Have you read all the Jodi Picoult books? In what order did you read them?
Have you only recently got addicted to the Jodi Picoult novels? What's your plan for reading order?
Sheldon, thank you very much for stopping by my post about the Jodi Picoult reading challenge (which will remain open now indefinitely!). Interestingly, I started by reading My Sister's Keeper, and have read a few others which were published after that, so I have followed your advice, "starting from the middle of the list and reading forward".
