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

Top 10 Most Anticipated Reads of 2016.

So we decided to do this post after the holidays to bring in 2016... Our most anticipated reads of 2016! Guys, this was hard, because there were a lot of books that we wanted to read, but just weren't anticipating. Keep in mind that this is in order of release. We could never chose favourites! Photo Source Link Lady Midnight - Cassandra Clare - March 8 Ashvini: I’m so excited to read this! How is someone supposed to wait? Emma: Yay! I was so excited when I found out this was a book. By the way, I still am excited. A Torch Against The Night - Sabaa Tahir - April 26 Ashvini: I haven’t read An Ember In The Ashes yet, but Emma has and she absolutely loved it. I’m going to try to get around to it before this book comes out. Emma: Oooh… Can’t wait for this, after the last book ended I’ve been begging for more. The Hidden Oracle - Rick Riordan - May 3 Ashvini: Another Percy Jackson-ish series. TOO MUCH TO PROCESS! Emma: A little birdy told me we might be s...

The Hidden Agenda of Sigrid Sugden - Jill Maclean.

Photo Source Link Emma's Rating: 4/5 Ashvini's Rating: 5/5 Emma: I thought that The Hidden Agenda of Sigrid Sugden was a very good book. First of all it was from the perspective of a bully who from the very start never wanted to be one. It was quite an interesting read. Now the first thing that I want to talk about (or more realistically write or type about) is the cover. Most people say that the cover looks boring, and yes I did think that too, but have you ever heard the phrase "never judge a book by it's cover?" Normally it means that "it is not what is on the outside that counts but it's what is on the inside". So basically to sum things up, don't ever judge a person, and the same thing goes for books... or anything for example (and this is coming from the environmentalist inside me) we are taking plants for granted! Maybe they can't talk or walk but they are still living things! Animals too if you searched up...

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 ...
