I hope to read all the Bridgerton Sisters before the end of the year. But I keep on being interrupted by other books...!<br /><br />Will keep you posted!

Thanks for your lovely message!...Hi there Rosemary! Thanks for your lovely message!<br /><br />I have a love/hate relationship with Jodi Picoult. I haven't read all her books yet, but there are a few that I really couldn't get into as well. Shirley Jackson is worth the try. Not as scary as she's always proclaimed to be. More psychological I would say.<br /><br />We grew up with Siamese cats and they really are the feisty of the species. I have a cross-bred Siamese who can't stand poor Elza. Elza always has to walk circles around her and then she will still go for the little one. She never had a problem with the other two cats, but she hates Elza. Maybe it's an attention thing. Elza demands a lot of it, as I'm sure you can gather from this post. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting us!!Elza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-22628999176653866962021-05-05T19:08:28.619+02:002021-05-05T19:08:28.619+02:00Now that you mention it....Now that you mention it....Elza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-65268264450682270452021-05-05T19:00:20.542+02:002021-05-05T19:00:20.542+02:00Hi Heather!

Now that we are a bit older (more than a bit I guess), it's not as bad anymore and we are mostly just best friends. <br /><br />Your books were fun too! Yes!! Very excited for the adaptation for The Nightingale. I hope it will be worth all the anticipation.

Beverly Cleary to Shirley Jackson is quite a leap but I loved seeing how you worked it out. There is actually a 3rd sister in the Bridgerton books named Eloise whose story is pretty great and a 4th named Francesca (I think that spelling is right) whose story is quite a bit different from the others. I think you'd enjoy both books!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-22893802954937323222021-05-04T10:10:32.942+02:002021-05-04T10:10:32.942+02:00Thank you for an interesting chain.

And I've always meant to read the Shirley Jackson, but I think I procrastinate because it looks scary...<br /><br />I am an only child and I also was determined to have more than one - I have three children now, and my elder daughter and middle child is definitely the Ramona here! By contrast, her older brother and younger sister are peace-loving individuals. As they have become adults they have started to get along much better, but there are still moments of conflict! Nevertheless, I am really glad that they will always have one another. <br /><br />Until last year I had two Siamese sisters - the smaller was defintely the Ramona in that relationship - she may have been tiny, but she knew how to get her own way! Sadly she died in early 2020; her sister is, I think, now quite enjoying being an only cat and getting all the laps and cuddles (at last.)<br /><br />My own chain focused on siblings in children's books: https://sconesandchaiseslongues.blogspot.com/2021/05/six-degrees-of-separation-may-2021.htmlRosemary Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284340669326721343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-14051276770766376662021-05-03T13:17:09.860+02:002021-05-03T13:17:09.860+02:00From Ramona to Shirley Jackson is a bit of a magni...From Ramona to Shirley Jackson is a bit of a magnificent leap!
