Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. It’s Freebie week! I’m always so excited when we get a chance to choose our topic for the week. I actually went through a few topics, but decided I wanted to list books that feature sisters. Now, I grew up with two brothers, but I always wanted a sister. This is probably the reason I enjoy books that explore sisterly relationships. Here are ten books that feature sisterly relationships and why, oh why, in the world couldn’t my younger brother have been a girl? We could have done so much together! Although, there was that one time my best friend and I dressed him up as a girl… Covers are linked to Goodreads.
Have you read any of these books? What’s your favorite book that features sisters? Let me know in the comments and be sure leave a link to your own TTT post, so I can visit.
Sisterly books are the best! Although you don’t always get to have such adventures with your real sisters, sadly xD

I love books about sisters! I have a younger sister and I adore her (even though we do argue a fair bit). The Hunger Games really appealed to me because of Katniss and Primrose, in fact, they were my favourite relationship in the book. I bawled my eyes out practically every scene they were in, because I kept imagining my little sister.
Little Women was also lovely in terms of sisterly devotion, as were Pride and Prejudice/Sense and Sensibility, although I’m not a huge fan of Austen (don’t tell anybody).
I recently read another book centred around sisters: The Translation of Love by Lynne Kutsukake. I reviewed it on my blog if you want to have a look!

Yes, Katniss and Prim were perfect. It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your sister (save for a few fights, but what is a good relationship without a few fights?). I love Austen enough for the both of us, so no worries. I will have a look, thank you!
