JODI PICOULT- The Pact

I have just finished reading a great novel by Jodi Picoult called "The Pact". I definantly recommend reading this book, very easy reading for the times you don't feel like doing uni work... If anyone has read any other novel's by Jodi I would love to know what they were like, so leave a comment.
Here is a synopsis on "The Pact"
In this contemporary tale of love and friendship, Jodi Picoult brings to life a familiar world, and in a single terrifying moment awakens every parent's worse fear: We think we know our children… but do we ever really know them at all?

For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to chicken pox to carpool duty-- they've grown so close it seems they have always been a part of each other's lives. Parents and children alike have been best friends, so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. They've been soul mates since they were born.

So when midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris took from his father's cabinet-- a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described.

The profound questions faced by the characters in this heart-rending novel are those we can all relate to: How well do we ever really know our children, our friends? What if…? As its chapters unfold, alternating between an idyllic past and an unthinkable present, The Pact paints an indelible portrait of families in anguish… culminating in an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris finds himself on trial for murder.

With this riveting psychological drama, Jodi Picoult explores the dynamics of intimate relationships under stress-- from the seemingly inexplicable mind of a teenager to the bonds of friendship and marriage. Few writers have such a gift for evoking everyday life coupled with the ability to create a level of dramatic tension that will keep you up reading late into the night. The Pact is storytelling at its best: wonderfully observed, deeply moving, and utterly impossible to put down

FRANKIE MAGAZINE

My all time favourite magazine! Why? Because it is a clean fun well designed magazine and it's articles are about real issues and real people. The cover always catches my eye and is always creative. Here are some images from Frankie and a link to the site so you can see why I like it! here is frankie for you to enjoy!

How Frankie started...
Two years ago, over a glass of wine, Editor Louise Bannister and Creative Director Lara Burke aired their frustrations at what magazine stands were offering to women in their 20s. Both firm friends with similar tastes, the duo became inspired to make a magazine they and their friends would want to read. After months of planning they presented an idea for a new magazine to their bosses at publishing house Morrison Media. They wanted a magazine that spoke directly to the reader, contained great affordable fashion, inspiring art, interesting reads and the best photography. They wanted a magazine to be written by 20 somethings for 20 somethings. And so in September 2004, frankie was born.

Flickr

Being unfamiliar to Flickr, I found it to be pretty interesting and a excellent way to look at some cool photo's. I have made some albums on my own flickr account... I have found it excellent at the amount of searching you can do and what you can find. I have found some people with real talent that shows through their photo's, while others, like myself, have decided to post my friends, holidays etc... It is great to read and post comments and I have found Flickr to be a real network of sharing and communicating through images!
