Two sisters. Two diaries. Two very different sides of the story! 📚💜

"Sisters ... No Way!" by Siobhán Parkinson celebrates its 30th anniversary with a clever Cinderella retelling about grief, blended families, and teenage growing pains.

I'm celebrating with The Write Reads and sharing my 4-star review!

I didn't get any writing done on Friday as Mr Shep was on holiday, and in the afternoon, Adopted Daughter and the Puds were around. Adopted Daughter and Big Pud were going to a masquerade murder-mystery party but spent time with myself and Little Pud before they left.

So, I've managed to squeeze in 1,4k today, which I'm happy about as it finished off Chapter 9.

I hope you're having a great weekend! 💙

BALLAD OF THE BEANSTALK by Amy McNulty is a prequel to the fairytale "Jack and the Beanstalk" with a #bisexual heroine. This lyrical YA fantasy explores the origin of the kingdom of the clouds, the giant who dwells there, and his magical harp, while also delicately examining the pressures bisexual people experience when it comes to performative queerness.
