The connections never end

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin

Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra

by Leave a Comment

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin and Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra have connections in themes and are two very wonderfully different books. However, if you like one, you might just like the other. I will start with the main difference between the two, which is the tone. Yin’s story is while seriously themed, is more humorous, and Gangotra created a story with a more overall serious tone that is still lighthearted in nature. The main and most important similarity is that both the […]

Hop in, we’re going for a read

Far from the Tree by Robin Benway

by Leave a Comment

After finishing Far from the Tree, I told myself, “Well, that was a ride.” But was it a good or bad one? Yes. There were things I loved, and things I hated. Sometimes I thought the characters were amazing, sometimes horrible (really horrible, and not necessarily where you might think that yourself). They were real and they were stereotypes. They are good and they are bad. In other words, human. Robin Benway created a story of three biologically siblings (boy, girl, girl). And there are […]

He wanted a litter of puppies, he got three sisters

My Life Begins! by Patricia MacLachlan

by Leave a Comment

I am sad to say that My Life Begins! is probably going to be the last book by Patricia MacLachlan we will have. Unless, she had things in the works that will come out after August 2022 (when My Life Begins! comes out). But either way, this book does not disappoint. It is an adorable book about siblings without the drama. It is an adorable book about finding who you are not only to yourself but to others. It is a cozy (short) story about […]

Sisters and Cake (I’ll take the cake, thanks)

Starla Jean V02 Starla Jean Takes the Cake by Elana K. Arnold

by Leave a Comment

There is nothing like starting book two of a series and not realizing it! Which is what happened to me with Starla Jean Takes the Cake (volume two) by Elana K. Arnold. But the thing is, I did not realize that until after I finished and saw that the name had volume 2 on it. That shows, that while it probably would have been a good idea to read book one, it is not needed. In book two, Starla Jean has a pet chicken named […]

Don’t toss your baby brother around on the moon

Molly on the Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal

by Leave a Comment

When Molly moves to the Moon, she is going to live in such a small home that she can only bring one toy with her, her special soft toy lamb. But that does not stop our Molly on the Moon from having fun. She has some tin cans for having tea, an old cover for a cape and her imagination. However, one day that special toy goes missing only to be found in the clutches of Molly’s baby brother, Luke, (who since the gravity is […]

He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

Bad Sister by Charise Mericle Harper

by Leave a Comment

An interesting story of siblings and how a younger brother showed his older sister a few things. And that is what you are supposed to get from Bad Sister by Charise Mericle Harper. What I got was another poor, put-upon big sister, getting the blame for having an annoying, bratty, spoiled younger sibling (can you guess which one I am with me and my sister?) Seriously though, both Harper and the world see Charise (the character) as “in the wrong” (and she even goes as […]
