Emma's Review: 4.5/5
Ashvini's Review: 5/5

Emma:
 When Vicki Grant came to our school I was thrilled to be asked to introduce her (with Ashvini) and intrigued to read her latest book "Small Bones". I had already read the book ID and really enjoyed it.
 The book is about an orphan named Dot. In the book the orphanage burns down. The seven oldest girls are not able to be put into orphanage homes. They have to go out on their own. Each of the seven are given one item from their past. They each use that one item to try and find their parents. 
Dot I find is the opposite of me she is small, prone to daydreams, good at sewing (lets not even talk about my sewing abilities) and umm let me see she lives in another era!
 I had a really fun time reading this book. There were a few big twists at the end which I found made the book more interesting. I really recommended this book to you if you are 12+ I think that you will really enjoy it and the other books from the seven series.

Ashvini:
I over-wrote, again. Small Bones is one in seven books apart of the SECRETS series. Each book is about a girl leaving the orphanage she calls home after a fire accident and going out into the world to discover more about her identity. The cool part is that all the girls came from the same orphanage, so you’ll see a lot of cute references between the books. Here comes the coolest part, Vicki Grant, the author who wrote Small Bones visited our school, so both Emma and I were able to get our copies personally signed! Now, I don’t want to make this post too long so I’m going to get into the review…
 Small Bones is a really cute sixties summer mystery. It touches upon many sweet messages such as finding yourself. The mystery does take some time to wind-up but that didn’t really take away anything because I was continuously entertained even if it wasn’t with suspense. Now, one thing I’d like to mention is that Small Bones is one those books that throws everything at you within the last 20 pages. This strategy doesn’t always work in books… (*cough, cough…The Scorch Trials*), but it was heart wrenchingly well done in Small Bones. Like, I can’t come up with praise for it, because it was so awesome.

Can you guess what our next review will be on? HINTS: It's brand new! It's by a best selling author whose first name rhymes with "Nick." - (We ran out of clue ideas!)

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly,
Emma and Ashvini

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w

Out With The Old - It's Time For Some Changes.

With school in full swing and crisp autumn air rolling in, it’s been about two months since the publishing of our last post. Two months . We’re sorry for that. Truly. Here’s the thing, though... TwoGirlsThatRead is our creative space.   A place where we create content about what we love: literature. However, for too long we’ve been unsuccessfully attempting to continue our regular weekly schedule and have concluded the mission by posting for the sake of posting. That is not okay. We want to ignite TwoGirlsThatRead to its fullest potential, and to do so, we need to make a few changes... Quality over quantity . Our posts may not be regular, but you can still expect a few posts a month...we promise :), but  we want to refocus on presenting the best representation of our ideas, thoughts, and writing. Improve our content . We’d like to spice it up a little. The origin idea for this blog was to create a space where we could discuss our ideas.

Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone, As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season. We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink!                        Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines. Photo Source: Goodreads Maybe I’m pushing it here with Until Friday Night, as it is a novel following a
