Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week.
My pick this week is Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares releasing on June 14/11. I’ve read all the Sisterhood books and loved them so I’m really looking forward to revisiting the girls ten years later. Here’s a description of the book from Fantastic Fiction…
Return to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . . . ten years later
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares comes the welcome return of the characters whose friendship became a touchstone for a generation. Now Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget have grown up, starting their lives on their own. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting.
Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness.
Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever – but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.
As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way, and finding the courage to create a new one.
It sounds fantastic! For me, reading a series from the beginning makes this book a little like a visit with friends and I’m looking forward to it. How about you – did you find anything good this wee that you’d love to read? Share in the comments or leave me a link to your post. Have a great day everyone!

Yes, cool, very cool!
I was trying to win this one for my daughter. She's read the whole series and watched the movies.
Wish me luck!
My daughter loves these books, and I had no idea that there was a new one coming out! She is going to be so excited! Thanks for posting this, Dar!
That is a definite treat to find if you have enjoyed the others.
Have a great weekend.
Wow, I didn't know there was a new Sisterhood book coming out!
I so look forward to reading this. I loved the other books and loved these girls. I've already pre-ordered it!
I've heard so much about these books. As for me, my kids' school had their Barnes & Noble book fair last night, so I saw about a hundred books I wanted! No I didn't buy any. I have to read what I have!
Somehow I never got around to reading any of the sisterhood books even though I think they were pretty popular at the time that my daughter was in middle/high school. I'm wondering if you think I could just pick up this one, not having read the others. I will wait for your review of this one to see what you think about that 🙂
I stopped by your blog today.
Ann
I read all the Sisterhood books so will read this one as well. I do find it interesting that Brashares has gone back to these characters now.
wow, I'm a fan of the sisterhood books! This one sounds great. I'll have to add it to my wishlist.
I haven't read the Sisterhood books but I did fall in love with the girls through the movies. I'm sure my daughter had these books so I will be digging her copies out and reading them. I really look forward to seeing these girls as adults.
Just wanted to tell you Happy Mother's Day. You are a great mom to Sammy. 🙂
I need to get a copy of this one!!
Beth,
I just adored the movies of these books especially the second one when she goes to Greece. Loved it!
Everyone,
Thanks so much for stopping by!
