30. A book with characters who are twins

[Martine]

The Night Circus has twins: Poppet and Widget. Loved this book!

[Nat]

I would agree with Harry Potter (Fred/George and Padma/Pavarti), could work with a lot of other prompts for a reread-marathon.
Also, The Foxhole Court features twins prominently, but that book might not be for everyone!

Edit: I just remembered! Erich Kästners Das Doppelte Lottchen, which was the basis for the Lindsey Lohan movie about the twins! Wonderful childrens book. I'm also fairly sure that the Pretty Little Liars prequel features twins.

[Patricia]

I think I’ll go with Cutting for Stone since I just recently bought it at our local library’s book sale.

[Chinook]

I’ve been rereading the Thrawn trilogy and since there is no way I’ll be done with that this year, I may count one of those (I used to restrict myself to books I’d never read before but since I’m doing more and more challenges, I’ve decided rereads are fine.)

But most of the Star Wars Legends books would fit.

[Megan]

The Silent Twin is my choice.

[Jessica]

Geek Love has conjoined twins.

The Bad Place has some reaaalllllyyy creepy twins.

[Amanda]

I have this book on my "to read" shelf but hadn't previously realized that the protagonists are twins: The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life by Lauren Markham

[Jess]

I really enjoyed The Ice Twins

[Naina]

I have The Nest on my Kindle, so I think I'll be reading this. This year, I read The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand and really enjoyed it.

I also read Pieces of My Sister's Life, which also has identical twins, but was not the biggest fan of that book. Some people have given the book stellar reviews, though.

[Cindy H.]

Sisterland Not the best Book I ever read but it features twins....if I remember correctly

[Mo]

The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand would work for this.

[Ed]

Pudd'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain

[MissLemon]

The Girls is about co joined twins and is a fabulous book

[Jette]

I read Fangirl for the 2017 Advanced Challenge prompt "A book from a genre/subgenre you've never heard of". It was metafiction and the main character was a twin. Her relationship with her sister as they adjusted to college life was a prominent subplot.

[Wendy]

I was checking the Boxall's 1001 books to read before you die list, and the following books feature twins:

Wise Children by Angela Carter
On The Black Hill by Bruce Chatwin
The Twins by Tessa de Loo

This is what I was going to read but then I realized The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer also has twins. So now I have to figure out how to read both!

[Victoria]

Cutting for Stone is excellent book, and I enjoyed The Night Circus as well. I was recently reminded that Game of Thrones has twins too.

That’s awesome. The first two are at my library.

I was also going to suggest that and it also deals with mental illness.

[Nikki]

Mirror Sisters by V.C. Andrews

[Julianne]

I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb is a good read!

[Monica]

A Murder is Announced
Two Little Girls in Blue
Children of Dune
Every Last One
Twelfth Night
Cleopatra's Daughter

[Edie]

The Thirteenth Tale I read this for another challenge this year and loved it. Twins are at the heart of this gothic mystery.

[Sarah]

All sci-fi/fantasy suggestions from me...

Jaime and Cersei Lannister, in the George R.R. Martin A Song of Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones) would work.
As would reading any Star Wars novels with Luke and Leia, or Leia and Han's children Jacen and Jaida (phew, this could practically also count for the alliteration prompt). e.g. Heirs of the Force.
Sandy and Dennys Murry from Madeleine L'Engle A Wrinkle in Time series; they feature most prominently in the oft-overlooked Many Waters.
Alanna and Thom in the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce.


I may try Blood of Aenarion by William King, or Glory Season by David Brin.

[Jess]

I'm going with The Watcher. It's tentative because the twin is dead but I'm sure she has a big influence on the protagonist and the story.

[Veruca Salt]

I’m going with Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld. It’s been on my TBR for awhile.

[Patricia]

Trying to cut down on my to-read shelf so I’m reading Cutting for Stone. Bought at a library sale about 6 months ago for $1.75.

And it fits the lyrics category! It appears to cover off quite a few categories and it is an awesome book.

[Tricia]

The Alchemyst series fits these categories.

[Kim]

The Third Twin by Ken Follett looks interesting for this one

Mine too :-)

[StefanieFrei]

Golding: Lord of the Flies has twins in it...('Sam'n'Eric')
Lots of Enid Blyton's series do have twins in it (St Clare's - series which in German is "Hanni + Nanni")
For German language: Andreas Löffler: Der Näher (Thriller), very topical.
Judith Krantz: Princess Daisy...80's?
Tess Gerritson: Rizzoli + Isles #4: Body Double (German: Schwesternmord)

[txncupcake]

"I know this much is true" by Wally Lamb

[Luke]

Potentials:

The Night Circus
Juliet

[Robyn]

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

[Melissa]

This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel

The twins are part of the family that the book revolves around. They are not main characters but in my opinion the family as a whole is the protagonist so this works.

[Megan]

The Bush twins recently released a book about their lives growing up in the white house called Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life if you are looking for something nonfiction

[Jennifer]

East of Eden by John Steinbeck has twins that are central characters. It's a fantastic book. One of my favorites

[Shelly]

This is a great choice.

Emmy wrote: "I can recommend Canada by Richard Ford.

Do plays count in this challenge? If so I might go for Twelfth Night."

I'd say plays count

[Tori]

I'm totally using this an excuse to read The Parent Trap!

[WVrambler]

Several of the Dragonlance Chronicles would work.

[Emanuel]

I'll readUma Aventura no Pulo do Lobo. I recomend .

[Anna]

My mom just recommended this to me specifically for this prompt! It sounds good!

[Kelsey]

I don't know if anyone has already said it, but I'm going to read Luminarium It's been on my TBR and the main characters are twins!

[kylajaclyn]

Mischling by Affinity Konar (About Josef Mengele, The Doctor of Death, During WW2. He was obsessed with experiments on twins. This novel follows two twins who get stuck being his “experiments.”

[Emily]

Not sure if anyone's recommended it already but Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire has twins!

[Mandy]

I just finished Karolina’s Twins by Ronald Balson. I would not have picked this book on my own. But it was a great read with compelling narrative. This is the first prompt I’ve finished for the 2018 challenge.
