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

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...

Ratings: Valuable Or A Mere Benchmark? - #SheSaysSheSays

As we've started countless times before, this blog originated as a discussion space where we could speak our mind. To maximise our motives, we're going to be commencing a discussion series entitled "She Says, She Says." The topics can range from books to current affairs, but will always explore ideas through two perspectives. :) Ashvini: As a self-proclaimed “book reviewer” living a whole life in the book interwebs within a mountain of words; I felt the pressure to form my own “rating” for a novel. From the start of TwoGirlsThatRead, the entire process of numbering my thoughts felt foreign and unnatural, and similar to my purple sweater, I simply assumed I would grow into it. Even today, my opinion of ratings still hasn’t found a home.     Stepping into the world of Goodreads and such, ratings were a safe house.  A guide of what I should expect, that saved me a 50/50 chance letdown. However, the farther along the path I travelled, the more of a wil...
