Happy Tuesday! Today’s suggested theme for Top Ten Tuesday is ‘Favorite Character Relationships’. Of course we all know how much I love romance, but if I set out to talk about my fave couples we would be here until next year haha. So instead I decided to talk about some of my fave siblings in fiction – and even then I had to cut myself off at twelve. I could have easily kept going for about twelve more, at least. I absolutely adore reading a story or series with close siblings, maybe because I’ve always been pretty close with my own brother. Here’s a pic of us when we were little and a selfie of us that he took on his birthday this year.
PS – Was I singing? Was I being goofy? Who knows. My brother seems highly amused though haha.

What about you? Do you like reading about brothers & sisters in novels? Who are some of your fave siblings in fiction & what books are they in?
I do! And you have listed some of my favorites. One of my recent favorites was sisters Faith and Hope in Lynn Blackburn’s Defend and Protect series. Their dynamic was spot on and I’m so glad Lynn got to put Hope into her own story! (as well as Gil and Emily in the same series) I will forever adore the Bradford sisters by Becky Wade as well. And I’ll add the McAdams siblings from Pepper Basham’s My Heart Belongs in the Blue Ridge (although it’s hard to not name all of her siblings because she writes them so well!)
i know, right? (About Pepper) I had to limit myself to one of her families – I could easily have listed them all! And the same with Becky. I had forgotten about Faith and Hope but I loved them too!
Those photos of you and your brother are adorable!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
aww thanks 🙂
Sibling relationships are so much fun to read about.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
thanks!
I agree with your lists of wonderful siblings! I just finished reading Valerie Fraser’s book Letters from My Sister, and the sisters Emmy and Callie are now added to my list of favorite siblings!
oh yay! I’ll move that one up on my TBR list!
What a fun topic! For younger readers: I enjoyed the relationship of siblings in The Penderwicks.
oh yes! They were fun too!
I haven’t heard of any of these series but the Skymar one by Pepper Basham looks so cute! Have a great week!

Pepper’s books are so fun!
I love series with siblings and have enjoyed all of Becky Wades series and Susan May Warrens series. I’d add the Murphy Brothers Stories by Jennifer Rodewald as favorites too.
i still need to read that one by Jennifer but I adore her books!
Sibling relationships can be so fun in books. I loved the ones in Meant to Be by Becky Wade.
she’s got some other great siblings too – her Bradford Sisters trilogy is fabulous!
I love this!! Great list!!
thanks, Cindy 🙂
I love Dee Henderson’s series, and Susan May Warren’s series! (I haven’t read all of the others)
they’re all good!
I love the siblings’ niche and great pictures of you and your brother.
I pretty much did the same list, but with different books: https://top100booksreviews.wordpress.com/2023/09/12/top-ten-tuesday-sibling-strong/
thanks, Rebecca!
I love how you tackled this week’s topic. What fun pics of you and your father. And I love your list. The Metcalfes are some of my favorite books!!!
thanks, Nicole!
I’m unfamiliar with these, but the one series bugs me. Why did they have to change the style of the cover? The one is cute with the illustration; I wonder why they changed it to photos.
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Pam, the whole series was released independently a couple of years ago, and now a publisher has re-released the first one. So the photo covers came first and then the illustrated one 🙂
I see a lot of books I’ve missed. To many to read them all.
the struggle is real!
Awww, looks like you have a very sweet relationship with your brother! I love that. I’m in the middle of seven siblings, so I know a little bit about sibling relationships in all their wonderful, complicated glory. I enjoy reading about them in fiction for sure.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
