FEATURES #JANEAUSTEN, @DANIPETTREY , @BECKYWADEWRITER, @DENISEAHUNTER, #CSLEWIS AND MORE! #TOPTEN #BOOKLIST #TOPTENTUEDAY Share on XWe did a list like this already but I check and it was about four or so years ago. Given that, I think it’s safe to put together another list because we should be able to find some families that are different from the last list we put together. Let’s see which families we can find.
BOOK FAMILIES WE LOVE
THE DASHWOOD WOMEN
This is probably the only Austen family I should add to this list since Sense and Sensibility is the only of her novels I’ve read. Don’t really remember details but I know I did read it. I also do love the Dashwood family which comprises of Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters Elinor, Marianne and Margaret. Add on Goodreads
THE MCKENNA FAMILY
I adore this family from Dani Pettrey’s Alaskan Courage series. The characters are just so good and memorable. Makes me want to re-read this series. Add on Goodreads
THE MCKINLEY FAMILY
Denise Hunter’s McKinley siblings and parents is one of the most memorable. I remember the first book Barefoot Summer having a profound effect on me and though I have still to give the novel a re-read, it remains a favorite of mine. Add on Goodreads
THE O’MALLEY SIBLINGS
A group of children formed to make a family and growing up they all become noble professionals like firefighters, EMTs, and hostage negotiators. I just love this series not only for their professions and values, but the characters as well. Add on Goodreads
THE PEVENSIE SIBLINGS
These siblings from C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia are some of my most favorite characters. Add on Goodreads
THE PORTER FAMILY
Siblings form the basis of this series. I enjoy this series so very much and that author Becky Wade often uses siblings to connect her novels. This family is three brothers and their feisty sister. Add on Goodreads
THE WOODWARD SISTERS
The sisters in Becky Wade’s Misty River series are fabulous characters. I enjoy their banter and the cute threads where we get to spend time with them. Add on Goodreads

Yes to the Pevensie family! Love them all. I will have to take a closer look at a few others on your list.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I love that family. They’re my favorites. :).
…and same to you! Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving holiday.
I love your list, Rissi! The Pevensies are a marvelous bookish family. In that vein, I’d also recommend the Igiby family in Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga. It’s a wonderful series!
This week, I’m talking about authors whose books I’m glad to know.
That’s a family I’m unfamiliar with! Guess this just further tells me I have so many stories yet to discover. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!
Love those Pevensie kids!
SAME! They are my favorites. :)
Now I want to reread The Chronicles of Narnia. :)
I absolutely should as well. So much good in those stories. :)
I need to get out more, I haven’t heard of any of these families and am only vaguely acquainted with the Narnia books. LOL
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Narnia books are so good. Or those I read were. I still have some I haven’t read because I was reading them alongside the movie releases which did stop. Now I’m reminded I should read more of them! :)
I still need to read Sense and Sensibility. I did start it years ago and I know the basic storyline. I started to re read/read the Austen novels last year so maybe I should concentrate on more next year!
Have a great week!

I’m the same, except my Austen book like that is Northanger Abbey. Started it years ago. Haven’t finished it. Someday. :) Hope you also had a great week, Emily.
I think my favorite fictional family has got to be the Weasleys. I’m sure their house is chaotic around the holidays.

I’m betting lots of others agree with you, Pam. :) Never met them but know so many in that universe are beloved characters. Thanks so much for visiting!!
Love your topic as bookish families are always fun. I’ve only met the Pevensies, would love to meet the other ones too :)
We love a good book family! There often easy to relate to. :) Thanks for visiting, Lindsey.
Sometimes spending time with fictional families is a lot more fun than doing it with your real one! Ha ha. I also love the Pevensies as well as the Weasley family from the Harry Potter books.
Happy TTT!

The Pevensies are my favorites. I know MANY love the Weasley family too. I never met them but someone else said they’d be fun and chaotic too. :) Thanks for visiting, Susan.
I only ever read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (tried other books in the series and just couldn’t get into them) but I loved the Pevensies in that!
I’m sorry you couldn’t get into the Narnia books. That’s never fun. I still need to read the rest of the Narnia books. Maybe someday I will. We’ll see! :) Thanks so much for visiting, Jo.
What a fun post! I love the Dashwoods and the Pevensies :-)
Same. They’re very likable characters. :)
I like your list, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Kel. Appreciate this.
