What are the last few books you read? What did you like/dislike about them?

I'm looking for things to add to my to-read list. I have quite a few already, but I'm always looking for new ideas. Don't worry about genre or whether you think I'd like it; I'm interested in seeing what everyone reads.

Last year was the first time I've been able to read an actual book in years (thanks, most likely, to the Wellbutrin, as nothing else changed and I was suddenly able to concentrate), and I feel like I have so much catching up to do, especially given how much I used to read.

I am also in love with anything written by Jodi Piccoult. My favorite is 19 Minutes (about a school shooting), with My Sister's Keeper a close second. My sister tells me her latest one is amazing, but I haven't had a chance to read it. Plain Truth is a pretty good one as all. I'm currently reading Keeping Faith, it's not as captivating as the others but still good. She keeps the plots very interesting, normally with a good twist at the end, and the characters are so well drawn out. I just love them.

Other books I've read recently and enjoyed: Trans-Sister Radio, Eat Pray Love, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Tuesdays with Morrie (read it in 5th grade, just re-read it) and the 5 People You Meet in Heaven.

Also, my mom is a jr. high librarian so I read her books to make sure they are appriopriate for jr. high kids which I LOVE any excuse to read young adult anything, and the book 13 Reasons Why was excecllent. Also, the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants books are great, and Gossip Girls are awesome as well.
