Kittens and Books

My name is Katie, and I am a reader, writer, and book blogger. I read mainly young adult, although sometimes I venture into adult or children's books.


My blog, where I post book discussions, reviews, and the occasional writing-related post, is Kittens and Books.

Where There's Smoke

Where There's Smoke - Jodi Picoult This is the first thing I have read by Jodi Picoult. It's a short story and it was free for kindle, so it seemed like a good place to start.

While I like her writing style, I feel this could have been much more. It felt more like a sample from a full book than it was a short story. I feel like everything was introduced real well, but there was no ending and nothing was wrapped up.

Apparently this character is in a book of hers though, and I definitely plan on reading it sometime. I'd love to see more and maybe, this story will be finished off somehow in the novel.

Either way, I feel this is a nice sample of writing style, if not plot. I expect that a full-length novel will be much better as it will have more time to develop and come to a nice ending, and look forward to reading other works from the author.
