Best-Sellers - The New York Times 18/03/12

Olá leitores,

Eu sei que eu estou devendo algumas resenhas pra vocês, mas é porque as coisas estão meio corridas por aqui, e logo sairão as resenhas de O Hobbit (a tempo prometida :( ), Os Homens Que Não Amavam as Mulheres (ótimo livro!) e Um Sonho a Mais (do Book Tour que o nosso blog está participando).

Mas indo ao assunto do post, a lista desta semana me surpreendeu! No topo da lista está a escritora Jodi Picoult com o seu livro recém lançado, Lone Wolf. Jodi costuma escrever novelas sobre relacionamentos, famílias, amor, etc.. Este livro em particular fala sobre os limites entre a medicina e a moral. Vale a pena dar uma conferida.
