The Good, and The Bad, It's All Relative


Today's Top Ten Tuesday is platonic relationships in books. It seems appropriate that since we just finished our first family overload holiday of the season with another one right around the corner to share some books featuring family that won't argue or fight with you.


Most of these books feature sisters, and since I didn't grow up with one and always wanted one, stories featuring big families and sisters are some of my most favorite stories.


 Julie Lessman's Daughter's of Boston series introduced me to not only Julie but a large family with three sisters that will drive you crazy!


Laura Frantz's Ballantyne Legacy is such a fabulous sisterly saga.

Beth K. Vogt explores sister bonds in this drama filled book.

Joanne Bischof's book has brothers in it. Not that the others don't have brother siblings but this one is all about brothers and their bonds.

This is book one of Jody Hedlund's Orphan Train series.

Becky Wade writes wonderful family dramas. This is book two of her Bradford Sister's series.

Debby Mayne has started quite the family drama saga in her new series The Bucklin Family Reunion series.

Lindsay Harrel creates a sister drama with travel in this book. If you're an armchair traveler like me don't miss this book.


















Kellie Coates Gilbert's website says it best . . . stories for mothers, sisters, and daughters.












What are some of your favorite family saga books? Have you read any of my favorites?

Andi, you always bring a smile to my face when you include me on one of your fun lists, so THANK YOU again, my sweet friend! This blog today -- "The Good, and The Bad, It's All Relative" sure fits the O'Connors! Lots of sibling rivalry in the beginning (the bad), but hopefully the good wins out. :)

SO appreciate you!!!

Hugs and more hugs,
Julie

Julie, I couldn't do a sibling related post without the O'Connors! My absolute favorite family's!

The good does win out! I just started A Dream Fulfilled, oh, how I've missed the O'Connors!

Hugs, and more Hugs,
Andi

It's such a delight to be included in a post with so many author-friends -- writers I respect and admire. Thank you! I have two sisters, including a fraternal twin sister, so it was intriguing to delve into sister relationships in the Thatcher Sisters series. (I'm writing book 3 now.) And I love to read other books that examine family relationships, too.
