Teens and sports
Hi everyone, I planned this post several weeks ago and in the beginning I was intending on giving you a few short reviews in one post.

Hi everyone and welcome to the wintry month of June!! This month we’ll start off with a booklist post with six tween titles I enjoyed over the course of the last few years which featured sisters. The number six is an odd one isn’t it, actually it’s even, but I digress, that actually has a reason behind it.

Hope to see you below so I can regale you with what’s in store for you later…
