I have been lurking on Margaret's A Way to Garden blog for a while. I first saw her on Martha's program years ago. I love this site and hope to contribute regarding books. Thanks for beginning and continuing this lovely project. I am a sister but don’t have one. I have been lurking on Margaret’s A Way to Garden blog for a while.

An absolutely amazing oeuvre, the kind of writing that after a long day is deciphered a page a night. Which is great because it prolongs the read and the association with a brilliant mind. I've become an expert at cajoling the librarians into letting me extend. No one else in this neck of the woods seems to want it besides me, which is just fine. It keeps me cozy. Definitely a brother book, and any sister who's got one. Love you, Margaret and The Sister Project madly. xo nancy j.

It's a tale of sisters and sister-friends and not-so-nice sister-haters back in 1930's Brooklyn. At the end of the book, there was a deep sadness in knowing the story was over. It remains one of my all-time favorites because I felt I knew every character! Betty Smith truly produced a masterpiece with this one! I also agree that reading makes us better sisters...and better people. As a curious grade schooler and shy high schooler, I lost myself in books and spent every lunch period in the library, where I adopted my love for reading, books, periodicals, etc. I would rather spend all my waking hours in Barnes and Noble than anywhere else and my friends have even suggested that I work in a bookstore since I love people and love books (I was politely told that on second thought, a library may not be suitable because I wouldn't be able to talk...not very subliminal, if you ask me!)

How kind--how sisterly--of you both to recommend it, as well as to offer it as a loan. What else have got on your nightside table?
