Book Review Sisters
Aussie sisters with a love for Christian romance fiction
The Book Review Sisters began in May 2011 when sisters and mums-to-toddlers, Jessica and Helen Wakefield decided to start reviewing books.
The blog grew over the next 4 years, and in addition to book reviews, the sisters wrote a variety of articles including author interviews and general writing discussion.
In 2015, Helen and Jessica moved their attentions to their individual pursuits.
Now, in 2020, the sisters have revived the blog, at least temporarily, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Book Reviews
We posted our first book review at Book Review Sisters back in May 2011, and continued to actively review books until April 2015.
Although we are no longer reviewing books, we continue to make our archives of 180+ book reviews available to read.
Books, after all, can be read for many years after their release date, and thanks to the digital age, titles continue to be available for purchase. Perhaps there’s a book here just waiting for you to discover 🙂

My 2015 Reading Reflections
I'm never going to enter, let alone win, any 'How many books did you read this year?' contest. Between mothering, my church commitments, doing courses and now, editing, I have limited time to read. Which is why, I'm sorry to say for all our readers, I have not been...
