Celebrate Sisters Day!

Did you know that the first Sunday in August is the annual celebration of Sisters Day? You may never have heard of this holiday, but why not celebrate with a great book about sisters and sisterhood.

If you favor the classics, try one of Jane Austen's works. Dive into 19th century England in Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility. Or try a modern retelling of Jane Austen's work. Check out our booklist from March for some suggestions.

For younger readers try one of these great books.

• Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary
• One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
• The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and A Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall
• Sisters by Raina Telgemeier

Contemporary adult fiction is full of stories about sisters.

• The Color Purple by Alice Walker
• Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
• Last One Home by Debbie Macomber
• The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand

Lastly, a book list about sisters would not be complete without Louisa May Alcott's classic Little Women. Join the March family in this coming of age tale. There are movie adaptations, sequels, and spin-offs for fans of the book to enjoy.
