We Love Sibling Stories Week -- Kickoff Post + Tag


Hello! Welcome to We Love Sibling Stories Week, a five-day-long party where we can gather to celebrate, recommend, and discuss our favorite stories about siblings in books, movies, and shows.

Whenever you create a post for this event on your own site, please drop a link in this widget:


And don't forget to read posts by other people!  That's an essential part of a party, after all -- chatting with your fellow partygoers :-)  Also, please remember to use one of the official party buttons in your posts, and link back here so other people can join the fun too.  If you want more party buttons, you can find them in this post.

Of course, besides (or instead of) contributing a post of your own choosing to the party, you can also fill out the official party tag!  Just remember to come back here and link to your tag post in the widget above too.

The Tag:

1. Do you have any siblings?
2. Who are some of your favorite fictional sibling groups?
3. Are there any fictional families you wish you could belong to yourself?
4. Have you ever watched or read a book that reminded you of your own family?
5. What fictional sibling would you NOT want for your own sibling?
6. Are you more drawn to stories about brothers or sisters?
7. What makes a story involving siblings interesting to you?


I'll be posting a game or two and other fun things over the next few days, so check back now and then to see what's new.  And my party giveaway has already started!  You can find that right here.

Happy partying!

    1. Thanks, Gill! I've been eyeing that event of yours. I've already got one blogathon post scheduled for March, and that tends to be about all I can handle, but if I happen to think up something irresistable for your Mismatched Couples blogathon, I will join :-)

  3. Oh dear...I messed it up so that it doesn't show WHAT I linked (it was a tag post). Such is life, I suppose. Thanks again for throwing the party!

  5. I can't see the linky widget. At least, it doesn't appear when I open this post. Anyway, here's my 1st contribution: https://klasikfanda.blogspot.com/2024/02/cigarette-girl-2012-by-ratih-kumala.html

    1. Chloe, if I have to choose between "perfectly organized" and "finished," I choose "finished" every time ;-)

  13. This has been delightful, thank you! I just filled in the tag answers and added the post. Still hoping to get a post finished about The Hardy Boys, but we'll see. I might have to switch my topic to Evie and Jonathan from The Mummy. ;-)

    1. Carissa, I'm so glad you could join the party! And honestly, I love Evie and Jonathan and almost put a poster for that movie in my poster quiz, so I would be totally fine with you changing topics ;-)
