Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters

Never had to have a chaperone, no sir, I'm there to keep my eye on her.

Sisters are important, reader types, because, as the song says, they care, share, stick together--all sorts of things. Celebrate sisters with this list of the best books about sisters, which I think is pretty good (except it includes I Capture the Castle, which I haaaaated last time I read it).

And, to leave you with the immortal words of sisterly love: Lord help the mister, who comes between me and my sister, and Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man.

Louisa May, is there anything you can't do?

No. No there is not (besides still be alive). Not only is she cool enough to get a biopic, but now we learn that LM Alcott only wrote Little Women so her father could get a book published. That's some serious filial respect at work, friends.

Take the lesson: if you do nice things for your dads, you too will become the writers of American classics. This reminder counts as my nice thing. Happy early Father's Day, Dad!
