The Littlest Reviewers

Image
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. I'm excited to interview them and their excited to share their love of reading with all of you out there. You may see some oldies but goodies on here like Little Women  and some newer children's books like The Lemonade Wars . These cutie pies are opening their hearts and minds to us so we can take a walk back ...

Pride and Prejudice meets E.T. in a good way!

Take a gander up there at that beautiful book cover. That's the portal to Pemdas a realm that's connected and dependent on Earth. I've reviewed S.L. Morgan's Ancient Guardians books before on The Book Whisperers blog and just like last time I was both overwhelmed with feels and impressed with the beauty of her prose.  If you haven't liked her fb page you are so missing out. She's one of those authors that interacts with her readers throughout the entire book writing process. This is, as far as I know, revolutionary for us readers. S.L. Morgan invites us into her home office on a daily basis and shares with us her struggles and triumphs as a writer. 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. Like this kind of hysteria. See the Beatle in the front running for his life? That's S.L. Morgan and the rest of those peo...

June's Author Spotlight Karen McQuestion

Image
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...

Viva Elizabeth Reyes!!!

Image
Introducing for the first time on our blog Elizabeth Reyes. The above picture was taken from her author website www.elizabethreyes.com. If you haven't taken a gander at her website I highly encourage you to as it's very nicely put together and easy to navigate. As a reviewer of independent authors I spend a lot of time surfing author web pages to source new books for this blog so I appreciate a well put together author website that lets me really get to know the author before I review their work here for you all to see. I've reviewed authors from every genre and now I get to introduce you all not only to a richly original author but to one of my favorite sports as well. I'm so excited to introduce you all to the 5th Street boys. These boys are Latin and their boxers and they are HOT HOT HOT! Other than being ridiculously good looking they are also very real and relatable. The love stories between each of the boys and their female counterparts are so heartrendingly r...
