The Lark Shall Sing"

Thank you, Valerie! Those both look interesting!

The two main characters are twins that have an incredible sibling dynamic that develops as the series continues. I would also like to say, that this book series is also a found family.

Some others:
Middletown
Waiting for Johnny Miracle
The Brothers Lionheart

Howl’s Moving Castle. again, main characters' relationship to their siblings is crucial
Icebreaker by A.L. Graziadei. Mickey's relationship with his sisters is strong and a huge part of his character
also adult, but A Marvellous Light and A Restless Truth (first one centers on the brother, second one on the sister)

Peg and Rose Solve a Murder by Laurie Berenson. (They're sisters-in-law).
Both books are aimed at adults.

Also! I remember my sister watching the anime movie version of Howl’s Moving Castle when we were kids. I don't think I consciously realized it was a book first. I also just noticed that the author is the same one who wrote The Merlin Conspiracy, which I recall my dad reading before. Thank you for your suggestions :)

Peg and Rose Solve a Murder sounds like a very different genre from my usual reads, which is something I've also been looking for lately (reading outside my box). Thank you again!

Folklorn
A Song Below Water
In the Lives of Puppets
Where the Line Bleeds
The House in the Cerulean Sea

That's awesome! (And convenient for my needs 😉)
Those all look amazing!! Thank you so much!!
(I'm super grateful that my post is getting so much traction, lol. My Want To Read list is rapidly increasing 😆)


In my opinion, the book of Howl's Moving Castle is a lot better and a lot more fun, so I definitely recommend! As for Casey McQuiston, I haven't read any of their other books but I really did enjoy RW&RB and it does seem to be the most well liked of theirs

I will have to add Humans to my watch list!

A Wrinkle in Time (and the whole series following those siblings) is a great sibling book! I am adding some of your other suggestions to my read list!

It's been years since I read it, but I think Feed by Mira Grant would work for this too.

I definitely recommend it (especially the first season) 🙂 By the way, I just got In the Lives of Puppets from my library and am planning it as my next read 😊 Thank you again for the suggestion.

The Bad Beginning and Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 are two of my favorite series, and I actually just got done reading The Red Pyramid recently. But I've not heard of hardly any of your other suggestions - thank you so much!

Anything set in Ireland sounds like a winner to me! And Feed also sounds really interesting. Thank you!

Thank you, Valerie! 😊

By the way, Knight, I really enjoyed In the Lives of Puppets 😊 Great suggestion!

It doesn't matter what combination of siblings either - two siblings, a group, any combination of genders. They also don't have to necessarily be blood related. Adopted siblings, step-siblings, chosen family, etc. is all fine as long as the relationship between them is clearly defined as siblings and nothing else. It's also cool if they start off with a rough relationship, so long as it improves as the story progresses.
I hate whenever I read a book and it starts out with a good, strong sibling dynamic then one of the siblings gets a love interest and it completely overshadows the sibling relationship. So that's why I'm specifically requesting siblings as a main plot point.
Thank you so so much in advance!
(By the way, stand-alone, trilogies, series, are all okay.)
