Today is the final day in Rachel's We Love Sibling Stories Week! It's been fun to celebrate on her blog and I encourage my readers to go over and play some of the games and such that she's put together and, of course, read the posts that others have done about their favorite sets of siblings!
Here are my answers to her delightful tag. I've enjoyed seeing the variety of responses that people have shared!
The Tag:
1. Do you have any siblings?
Yes, I have a younger sister who is also my best friend. She means the world to me.
2. Who are some of your favorite fictional sibling groups?
 |
| Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes |
 |
| Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility |
3. Are there any fictional families you wish you could belong to yourself?
 |
| Evie and Jonathan from The Mummy |
The Mummy is one of my favorite movies of all time and a big part of that is Evie and Jonathan! I think it would be endless chaos and fun in a good way being a part of their sibling group! Plus, I would be traveling in Egypt with them so what's not to love about that?!
4. Have you ever watched or read a book that reminded you of your own family?
None that I can think of right now. I tend to avoid stories that feel too much like real life. 😉
5. What fictional sibling would you NOT want for your own sibling?
Lydia Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, hands down! She would drive me crazy with her impulsive, careless behavior. Of course, we all know that her behavior is encouraged by her mother and ignored by her father, so the family really is to blame, but still.
6. Are you more drawn to stories about brothers or sisters?
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I tend to like male protagonists and there is a sad lack of them, so I'm always excited when I find a story with brothers instead of sisters. But I love stories with sisters because that's what I have and can relate to.
7. What makes a story involving siblings interesting to you?
 |
| Dean and Sam Winchester from Supernatural |
I prefer stories with a solid older/younger sibling relationship. I can relate to older siblings taking care of or being concerned about younger siblings. I'm not keen on stories where there's a major family rift, but stories with quirky sibling groups really warms my heart. And I think I'm curious about sibling groups with brothers and sisters because that isn't my reality. So I'm fascinated by siblings like the Pevensies in Narnia or even male sibling groups like Frank and Joe Hardy or Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes or even the Winchesters in Supernatural. Guys relate differently than girls so that intrigues me.
