As my brother can attest, reading can be an addiction – I mean, he actually read an encyclopedia when we were kids, just because he had nothing else handy.  Kia’s no better.  If there are words, she’s going to read them because she seriously can’t help herself.  That said, both of them will slip into my bedroom to read ahead in whatever book we’re working on… and they’ll both narc on each other over it.  Why?  Because sisters, I guess.  One of their favourites is the aforementioned Rainbow in the Dark by Adam Withers and Comfort Love (a favourite of mine, too – check them out!),  and we just recently finished the Sithrah series by Jason Brubaker, which they very much enjoyed.

I’m wearing my “advice from a squirrel” shirt, Arwyn has a very patriotic Minnie Mouse, and Kia’s shirt features a flip-sequin unicorn.  Kia’s also wearing the elastic band necklace that she made.
