Top Ten Tuesday – 10 of My Favorite Bookish Families
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is Relationship Freebie (Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc. Bookish families you’d like to be a part of, characters you’d want as your siblings, pets you’d like to take for yourself, etc.).
I decided to share some of my favorite families from the books I’ve read over the years. Some are biologically-related families, while others are found families. What they all have in common, whether biologically related or not, is that their relationships with one another are just so heartwarming, supportive, and fun.

I still haven’t read any T.J. Klune, but I always see his books mentioned whenever readers talk about found family. One of these days I must try him😁
The Bridgertons! Some of my favorite parts of those books are the scenes between the siblings and all their banter, and Violet always adds humor and heart.
I love Legends and Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea. Legends and Lattes is actually on my list. 🙂 I also love the Aunties!
I’ve heard good things about Legends & Lattes.
The Weasleys are the best! In spite of their struggles, their warm, close relationships with each other just make me smile 🙂
Happy TTT!

Loved the family in When in Rome. Those siblings really stuck together. I loved their weekly get-togethers (where they played cards, I think?).
I love how you included biological families and found families.

The Weasley’s are a great choice! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
*High Five* I love the Aunties, too. I forgot about the siblings in the Rome series. I adore them! I focused on more recent books, but I would have included them. They have a great dynamic. The Murphy women are fabulous, and I like that you included some found family. Those are always great, and the Ren Faire people were fantastic.
I also love the found family in Legends and Lattes. Very sweet.
