Ok, y’all should know that I love a good rom-com. When Harry Met Sally is one of my top 5 favorite movies ever. And I appreciate all the work that goes into making overused tropes and character arcs fun again. No one is better at that than author-duo Christina Lauren. True–they write, they don’t produce […]
After books, the next thing I’m constantly glued to is my phone. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be spending that much time on my phone. But honestly, I mostly rotate between reading ebooks and Instagram. In all of my years of iPhone owning, I’ve found some great apps that go hand-in-hand with my love […]
I’m so excited to be sharing this review with you! I got the chance to review another book from NetGalley. In case you didn’t read my last post about NetGalley, it’s a website that gives readers an advance copy of a book in return for a review. Crown of Coral and Pearl by Mara Rutherford […]
The review is here! I recently finished The Rosie Effect and it was everything I could have hoped for from a sequel. Not only were the characters as amazing as ever, but the plot was so good. I don’t know if I can say that it was even better than The Rosie Project, but it’s […]
This past Sunday, Reading Whale celebrated it’s two-year anniversary! I’m so excited about this because it coincided with me reaching 1,000 followers on Instagram. Over the past two years my bookstagram (book-Instagram for those of you who are new here or who don’t follow me) has become a place for me to get book recommendations, […]
This week, Reading Whale is lucky enough to have a guest post from Rina Neiman, author of Born Under Fire. Her new historical fiction release required a lot of research to make the time and place of the story believable. Modern-day America isn’t exactly the same as WWII Israel, and authors want to be as […]
Rainbow Rowell has written so many popular books, I can’t believe it took me this long to read one. I started with Fangirl because I’ve heard so much about Carry On — the book series that spins off from the fanfiction Cath is writing in Fangirl — that I wanted to read its origin story. […]
I thought I’d go for a fun blog post this week and try to think of the top ten reasons why I would pick up a book. The idea came from That Artsy Reader Girl, who hosts Top Ten Tuesdays on her blog, but even though today is a Tuesday, the prompt is an old […]
Everyone has a guilty pleasure genre, let’s be real. Whether it’s romance novels at the beach (I see those Sarah Dessen books) or escaping with stories about dragons and faeries, we all have a genre of books we just keep going back to. Do you think I can guess yours? I have curated the perfect […]
Y’all! I’m so happy to be giving you my first ever NetGalley review! NetGalley is a website that offers blogs and reviewers an opportunity to read advance copies of books in return for a review. I requested a copy of The Speed of Falling Objects, and was lucky enough to be approved. I’ve reviewed it […]
