All of us bibliophiles started out as youngsters reading children s books. If you were anything like me the only time you threw a fit was when your mom wouldn't take you to the library or refused to read your favorite book to you JUST ONE MORE TIME! You didn't find the idea of a summer reading list abhorrent, in fact you couldn't wait to see what was on said list so you could get started.  In honor of the next generations bibliophiles this book blog will be bringing you book reviews from some of the cutest and youngest readers out there. We'll be inviting children of all ages to share their love of reading with all of us here at The Book Whisperers.

This allows us, the readers, to feel a sort of ownership over the story once it's been published and it builds the anticipation of the release date to a fevered, hysterical pitch.

This is a new author that was recommended to me by readers and followers on Facebook. I reached our to Karen on Twitter to ask permission to review one of her books as our June spotlight author and she responded with a review copy of From a Distant Star her new YA Novel. To say I was overcome with excitement would be putting it mildly as I immediately jumped on messenger and notified fellow book review blogger Roxanne about the exciting news. What followed was some awesome back and forth tweets between McQuestion and myself and a few e-mails as well which led me to believe this would be one review that would have a more personal feel. In this day and age of online publishing and the younger generation picking up more books and watching less t.v. Authors have become more like rock stars and Hollywood celebrities. I for one do a happy dance every time an author tweets with me or responds to a facebook message. I will gladly be the one standing in line for three hours just to get my fa
