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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I am so glad that I got the chance to read an early review copy for Christina Lauren’s new book, coming out October 22. Their most recent release, The Unhoneymooners, was amazing and has become one of my new favorites, so I couldn’t wait to read Twice in a Blue Moon. I knew this book […]

With “The Sun is also a Star,” Yoon turns the YA genre on its head; her two teenage characters deal with adult problems most can’t even […]
John Green is back after a five-year hiatus from published works. His new novel “Turtles All the Way Down” is one you won’t want to miss. Keep reading to find out what Reading Whale thought of Green’s new book. It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see. Sixteen-year-old Aza never […]
For fans of YA and fantasy novels, this series might be the one for you to check out next. Written by Sarah J. Maas, the same mastermind behind the Throne of Glass series, A Court of Thorns and Roses is a great, fun, easy fantasy read. I flew through the first book in two days […]
Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See” is amazing. You might have already guessed that from the little sticker on the cover that says “Winner of the Pulitzer Prize,” but I can truly tell you that this is a book everyone should read. Not only are the characters Doerr creates beautiful and wholesome, but […]
