It seems like there are so often missing parents in YA...maybe because they want to give their characters a lot of freedom of movement and that gives them a reason to be going around unsupervised?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-8998828197366808072017-05-22T11:42:54.309-07:002017-05-22T11:42:54.309-07:00Good list, I read The Joy Luck Club in High School...Good list, I read The Joy Luck Club in High School, but don't remember much about it now. I glad to see a list of mom's in books because so often they are missing in YA books. Which is what I did my list on...

The Red Tent should be an easy find secondhand and I just listened to it on audio recently and it's really good. And I'm with you, Mrs. Bennett is played for laughs but given that all Mr. Bennet does is crack wise and play favorites, he kind of sucks.

I still feel the same way now as I did right after I was finished with it. And I agree about Astrid and her mother relationships. :)<br /><a href="https://lesliehauser.com/top-ten-tuesday-books-mom/" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a><br />LeslieLH27https://www.blogger.com/profile/17721514278620620201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-441960940788400402017-05-16T16:22:30.009-07:002017-05-16T16:22:30.009-07:00Great list, these all sound fantastic!

The Guineveres, The Joy Luck Club and White Oleander all sound really interesting, and I'd like to read The Red Tent because I believe it's been adapted on Netflix. :) I think Mrs. Bennet is a far better parent than Mr. Bennet, too; Mr. Bennet makes sure Lizzie's sisters know Lizzie is his favourite, while his poor wife tries to get them into good marriages so she knows they aren't going to be destitute if Mr. Bennet dies. She's pretty unbearable, but her actions do come from a place of real love and concern. Fab list!Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.com
