Y’all. This review has been a long time coming!! As you may know, I read and reviewed World War Z earlier this year, and it became an IMMEDIATE favorite. I am in love with that book. It is so good. I will recommend it to everyone for the rest of my life. That’s how good […]
When I first saw the cover of Beach Read, I knew I wanted to read it. I know, I know, never judge a book by the cover — but to be fair, I did also read the synopsis and I KNEW this rom-com would be a great one. And surprise! I wasn’t disappointed. Beach Read […]
As a bookstagrammer, a former English major, and an all around book lover, I get asked about writing books a lot. Mostly… “Would you ever want to write a novel??” And the answer is sure! If I could ever figure out an entire plot for one! Part of me just enjoys being a reader, and […]
I finally got around to reading House of Earth and Blood, the first book in Sarah J. Maas’ new Crescent City series. And by finally got around to, what I really mean is that I bought it, and read it immediately, and finished it in 4 days. Which I’d like to think is pretty impressive […]
I cannot recommend this book enough! READ WORLD WAR Z. Or listen to it like I did. This is such an interesting book, and it really makes you think about how society and culture would actually respond to something as outrageous as a zombie war. While this is the only zombie book I have ever […]
Even though it’s only the first month, I can tell 2020 is going to be a great reading year for me. Out of the five books I’ve already finished this month, TWO have been five-star reads! That’s a lot for me — I hand four stars out to books like they’re candy. But these books […]
A Love Hate Thing is a new take on the wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance. It’s Whitney Grandison’s first YA novel, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of it, I think it shows promise for future novels. This one is just a little lacking in originality. Grandison is an Own Voices writer (read this great article if […]
Hey, y’all. Happy New Year! I know this is coming a week too late, but I’ve been a little busy. To catch you up on all the things I’ve been doing outside of Reading Whale, here’s a little recap: I graduated college, did a little traveling, celebrated the holidays, and most importantly — read lots […]
Another day, another NetGalley review. This one is for We Met in December by Rosie Curtis. Plot twist, though: It’s already published! You won’t even have to wait to run and get it at a bookstore. Which you actually might still be on the fence about after reading this review. I could really give or […]
Bookstagram made me buy The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, but the amazing writing and characters kept me reading. I seriously cannot tell you how much I loved this book. It is SO GOOD. SO GOOD. So good you have to repeat yourself just to be sure you make complete emphasis about how GOOD it […]
