Today's Book of the Day!

Today's book of the day is Sisters by Raina Telgemeier, who's books I love but name I can never spell!



  I credit Telgemeier's Smile with introducing me to the graphic novel format.  Sisters is a great story to read, whether you have a sister or not. But like life, this graphic novel is better with a sister!
