pickThis is such a tough topic and so many parts were just so hard to read and so heartbreaking. As per usual with Jodi Picoult, there were some twists and unexpected feelings throughout this book. Not necessarily a happy ending, but an interesting one. This book definitely made me think about a lot and it‘s going to stay with me for a long time.

this book kept me on the edge of my seat and the plot twist is probably one of the best i‘ve read in a jodi picoult novel. this book has you rooting for the bad guy, because he really isn‘t a bad guy. you experience every scene with the characters and the plot is one you hope to never ever experience in your lifetime. such a powerful depiction of something so real in our nation‘s timeline. it emphasizes the heartbreak.
“But true character showed when you could find something to love in a child everyone else hated.”
-Chapter 5, Page 126
“A gun was nothing, really, without a person behind it.”
THIS! we talk about this concept all the time when advocating for gun safety laws. it‘s so important and also so crucial in understanding the foreshadowing of the novel.
pickI have yet to read a bad Jodi Picoult book. The ending didn‘t come together as smoothly as it could‘ve in my opinion, but I really have no major critiques. I just wish that this subject wasn‘t still so relevant.
pickInteresting storyline. I liked the multiple pov's, the twists and turns, and the hard topics. I was able to kind of guess the ending without meaning to. But, it was a good read.
so-soThis is the third book I‘ve read by this author and I‘m starting to think she‘s just not for me. Her writing style allows for way too many POV‘s and although this was a hard topic to read I still found myself somewhat bored. I skimmed a lot until the end. And even the twist at the end wasn‘t enough to save it for me.
All Peter did, one morning, was turn into the person he'd been expected to be all along.
so-sosorry for bringing your book back to school with me dianna i‘ll bring it home. i‘m not a fan of jodi picoult and this book is the perfect reason why. is it a good book? yes. but she just tries so hard to make everything a big moral question, she tells her stories from way too many perspectives, she introduces random love stories, and she adds a twist that is ridiculous. she just comes across as exploitive to me and it makes me feel icky

I listened to Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. It's about a fictional school shooting. It's long-winded but interesting and has a small, surprising twist at the end. 3.5 ⭐s
pickIn nineteen minutes you can make dinner.
In nineteen minutes you can color your hair.
In nineteen minutes you can mow the lawn.
In nineteen minutes he stopped the world.
In nineteen minutes he got revenge.
No one knew that when Peter came to school at 10:00 on March 6th, that 19 minutes later 10 would be dead & 19 more injured, but what really happened that day? What happened before that day? What lead to those 19 minutes? What happens now?
⏰⏰⏰⏰
pickCouldn't have started 2022 any better, this book was part legal and your generic detective thriller and part YA with a healthy dose of individual emotional aspects!!
pickIn nineteen minutes… your whole world can shatter.
Peter undoubtedly shot and killed a number of his classmates one morning in a small town in New Hampshire.
This is not up for debate.
Can bullying really lead someone to murder?
What exactly happened behind the scenes? Did something happen in Peter‘s home life to drive him to this point?
Did Peter have friends?
These are the questions to which we as readers seek answers.
Gripping throughout.
pickThis was a tough book to read but I love that Jodi tackles these controversial issues. Her books are great at showing you an issue from all sides and getting you to sympathize where you would think you would. I will move on to the next book in her list. Definitely worth reading!
pickThis is about a school shooting and what lead up to it. It‘s about bullying and friendship. It was a little slow in places but overall a definite pick.
This is book 18 for #bookspinbonanza. I won‘t have time to read another whole book tomorrow so this is my last one for May. But since my goal was 10, I‘m completely happy about getting through 18. @TheAromaofBooks
In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game.

pickHighly recommend. This story is about a school shooting and the underlying causes behind it. As a teacher this book above to me in a variety of ways. I felt compassion for the parents, the victims, teachers, and the shooter. I cannot tell you how many bullied kids I have seen. Heartbreaking.
#adventrecommends Day 17. I read this awhile back. It‘s about a school shooting and the aftermath. Another one of this authors that I really liked but don‘t see a lot of people talk about.
I don‘t tend to read Jodie Picoult but this sounds like a thought-provoking read about a school shooting.

panThis book started out okay-ish.. and then dragged on forever. Reading reviews I was promised a “big shocking twist” which was really the only thing that kept me listening to find out. In reality it was a big pointless twist. There were also a whole bunch of pointless side plots. What was the point of the dead brother and the dads “happiness calculations?” The number of details that got taken straight from Columbine also really bugged me. 🙄🙄🙄
Took a lot longer than 19 Minutes to set up my shelf with Jodi Picoult, and mostly romance and YA books. But it got me a LOT of activity time for #BookFitnessChallenge and look, now its ready for a #shelfie!

I got the Tom Clancy book for the hubs, but the rest are for me. 🙈

#QuotsyApr19 Day 23: Children as not as #spectacular as we want them to be. What an utterly pessimistic view of one‘s offspring.
really enjoying this book so far. Jodi Picoult never fails to pull at your heart strings
panI LOVE this author, but this book, not so much. Unrelatable characters, sluggish plot, and gratuitous sex scenes were just a grind to navigate. #2019LitsyAtoZ
pickThe book started off slowly but really ended up capturing my attention. I am not a fan of courtroom dramas, but this book had so many sad truths that I got caught up in reading it. Glad I stepped out of my usual genres and read it.
pickI‘m not sure where to begin with this book. As a mom and as a teacher, it is making me think/worry/question many things. How do I make sure my kids aren‘t bullied? What do I tell them to do if they are? Why aren‘t schools better at addressing the issue? Do my students feel safe and accepted at our school? There are a number of issues in this book that our society doesn‘t spend nearly enough time discussing. 👇👇👇
pickSlow and tense until the last hundred pages, then the pace picks up with courtroom drama. This is a good story that made me wonder what it would be like to be the parent of a child that committed a horrific crime... I give a solid 3/5⭐️s. Thanks to @BurghBookAddict for sending this my way #mfbs
pickUgh! This book broke my heart and I have one thing to say about the general theme in this book : IT NEEDS TO STOP EVERYWHERE 😭☹️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
