Jodi Picoult book evening

We were invited to a book event for Jodi Picoult launch of her Lone Wolf paperback book. What a lovely evening held at Skoobs at Monti Casino.  We arrived at 6pm to be served pink champagne and platters of sweet nougat.

Jodi gave a brief overview of her book then went on to describe the research she conducted for her Lone Wolf book, it was really fascinating.  She described in a humorous way, how each member of the pack has its own role to play and the difference between the Alpha, Beta, Testers and numbers, she then went on to explain how you can use the same philosophy to choose a new puppy from a litter, to best suit your family.  She answered many questions one of which was, Why was the ending of My Sisters Keeper different in the movie to the book ?  and her answer was really surprising, suffice to say, it wasn't her choice, in fact she fought hard to have it kept the same.  I found Jodi to be exceptionally eloquent and approachable and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time, followed by a scrummy meal at Jon Dory, lovely mid week break to the ho-hum, same, same.
Till next time
