#NationalSiblingsDay
I’m celebrating National Siblings Day with a post about sisters! I love reading books about complicated family drama and I especially love stories featuring sisters!
I have two Siblings….two treasured Sisters. In the picture below, I’m standing and my two sisters are seated on either side of our mom. This pictures was taken in the “before” times. You see, my sister Jollene (seated on the left) is now in Heaven. Dearly loved and gone too soon.

~Rainer Maria Rilke
“I love the world of words, where life and literature connect.”

“Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.”
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
“I read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places we’ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.”

As it happens, I borrowed the audiobook version of The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters this morning. I plan to start listening to it tonight.
Last month, I read The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan that also includes two sisters. Other notable books with sisters are The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
Enjoy Shergill Sisters!
Oh I forgot about the sisters in Lager Queen and Splendid Suns. Thanks for the reminder! So many great stories!
I have enjoyed several other books on sisters. Especially
– nonfiction: The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra
by Helen Rappaport
– mystery/thriller: The Missing Sister, by Elle Marr ; Second Sister, by Chan Ho-Kei
– historical fiction: The Mistresses of Versailles Trilogy, by Sally Christie
Thanks for all your recs!
I can only think of the Three Dark Crowns series, they were killing each other but two of them had a cool bond!
Oops! Can’t kill a sister!
I’ve always wanted a sister! I do have one but she’s almost 18 years younger than me (half sis) so not quite what I expected! But I still love sister stories.
You’re a sister mentor! I’m 12 years older than my youngest sister.
