Omg thanks Barnes & Noble! For the next two days you can get 25% off my upcoming book with the code PREORDER25

One woman who read it said it helped her process her own grief over a lost loved one. Another said she reads so many books she doesn’t always get invested, but this one moved her to tears.

Nerds. Cooking. Platonic loving friendships. Good Family stepdad/stepson relations. Snow, coziness. Heaps of Lord of the Rings reference. And in the end…? Heartbreak. But also hope.

… are you really ready for this book? 👀

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 Whiteout is a collection of love stories, written by an all-star team of YA authors - Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany P. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon. Clayton first brought the group together to write Blackout, published in 2021, a collection of loosely connected stories that take place when the power goes out in New York City. Unlike their first book, which had each chapter - each story - credited to its author, Whiteout intertwines its characters and fits them under the umbrella of a primary plotline. This modified format encourages the reader to guess the lead author of each character and their subplot. There are even hints in the authors’ note. A sweet series of teen love stories, Whiteout takes place in Atlanta during a rare snowstorm. Despite the obstacles - due to the snow and their own stubbornness - there are enough happy endings to program a week of Hallmark movies. There is strong LGBTQIA representation within the ensemble cast of characters, and their families are both structurally and ethnically diverse. Atlanta residents will appreciate references to popular landmarks, the original Snowpocolypse, and the spot-on descriptions of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as well as highways I-75, I-85, and I-285. Atlanta native Nic Stone knows how traffic can turn any day into a nightmare. Whiteout is a sweet novel, and I would recommend it to any teen who enjoys love stories and any adult who counts down the days until holiday TV-movie season. ❓Do you enjoy ensemble books and movies where each character has their own subplot but the stories all come together? ❓Are you a lover or a hater of the ensemble movie Love Actually? Thank you to Quill Tree Books, a division of @harpercollins and @netgalley for this ARC. #whiteout #blackout #dhonielleclayton #tiffanydjackson #nicstone #angiethomas #ashleywoodfolk #nicolayoon #ireadya #yaromance #contemporaryya #atlanta #snowpocolypse #blackjoy #happilyeverafter #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_mzEIvFml/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Time Will Be Different by Misa Sugiura . #QOTD: Do you buy special editions of books? ✨ . #AOTD: I do! This book is an @illumicrate special edition with yellow sprayed edges 💛 But I also have the rule that I don’t want to have multiple copies of the same book, which I think I have stuck with so far (not counting classics of course). Just because I want to save shelf space. I think if I ever do really become obsessed with a book and there are special editions of it, I will cave, but so far I’ve stayed strong! 💪🏻 . . . #illumicrate #specialeditionbooks #limitededitionbooks #harper360ya #bookcover #bookbox #bookstagram #reading #lovereading #booklover #readersofig #bibliophile ##misasugiura #thistimewillbedifferent #beautifulbooks #bookphotograph #contemporaryya #yalit #yafiction #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rnidIgkEH/?igshid=1jximto11mj93

Tomorrow is #digitaldetoxday, so I won’t be about on the socials. ☕️Even though I’d like to think I’m not as attached to my phone or socials as some people, I do find myself on them quite a bit, so in a way this weekend is the nudge I find myself needing. I’ve done this the last two years and always feel better for it. Maybe all this is to say that I should do it more often, but I feel this way every year and it never happens. ☕️Instead of social media I shall be reading books (I’ve decided Kindles don’t count this year since I need to finish a book I got through Libby), watching tennis and football and starting a new draft of my contemporary YA @iamwholeuk #socialmedia #socialmediabreak #socialmediadetox #writer #contemporaryya #theatre #reader #bookish #readingweekend (at Monterey, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBXN6EO7SB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A moment from “Don’t Ask If I’m Okay,” coming May 16, 2023, from Page Street Publishing.  ~ “Oh my gosh.” She laughs and leans back, arms still around my waist. “What’s the catch?”   

“The catch?”  

 “Yeah.” She tips her head up, studying me. “You’re a nice, fun guy who likes to cook— what’s the catch?”   

The compliments should make me feel ten feet taller, but out of nowhere I feel suddenly, coldly, like a fraud. A breath leaves my chest and I hope it sounds like a laugh. Fear and nerves claw up my head. I clamp down on a burst of hysterical laughter.    

 I can’t ride in cars.  

 If you say my dead cousin’s name I’ll start crying. Or screaming. Or punch someone.    

The catch?  

 I’m broken.

❖

Sixteen-year-old Nora Gallagher has spent the past summer either with her boyfriend or at the local running track. As September approaches, she expects much of the same monotony. However, while at a crafts fair, Nora meets her neighbor, Wren Velasquez, whose holding a sign saying, “Tell me your story, and I’ll give you $1.” Neither divulge their stories.

Three days later, Wren climbs onto the balcony outside of Nora’s room, purple bruises lining his rib cage to match her black eye, and they finally share pieces of their stories. This begins an unspoken deal―he comes into her room at night, and they ignore each other’s bruises.

As Nora and Wren forge a romance, they must cope with numerous issues, including her abusive boyfriend and his abusive stepfather. But as the outside world threatens to tear apart the sanctuary they’ve created, they may not be able to keep ahold of each other―or themselves―for much longer.

So I’ve posted the first chapter of a novel on this amateur writing website, so I would really appreciate it if you guys could go and check it out and maybe leave me a comment! :)

💬 Do you enjoy retellings? What classics would you like to see done more often? . Of Princes and Promises by @sandhyamenonbooks is the second book in a new series set in an elite boarding school that’s a contemporary spin on fairytales, this one a romantic twist on The Frog Prince! Thank you to @simonteen for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Caterina LaValle is determined to show she’s still the queen of St. Rosetta’s Academy. Sure, her crown may be slightly askew after her ex-boyfriend, Alaric, cheated on her, but she’s a LaValle. She’ll find a way to march right back in there, her hands clutching the strings to the whole puppet show. This time, she’s going to be untouchable. Rahul Chopra knows that moment he shared with Caterina LaValle at the winter formal meant something. Surely she feels it, too. He’s a little uncertain how someone like him (socially inept to a point way past “adorkable”) could fit into her world, but he’s loved Caterina for years. He knows they’ll find a way. When Caterina finds out Alaric is taking a supermodel to the upcoming gala, she knows she cannot arrive without the perfect date. But the thought of taking another superficial St. R’s boy exhausts her. The solution? Sweet-but-clueless Rahul Chopra and a mysterious pot of hair gel with the power to alter the wearer into whatever his heart desires. When Rahul tries it, he transforms instantly into RC—debonair, handsome, and charming. But transformation comes with a price: As Rahul enjoys his new social standing, the line between his two personas begins to blur. Will he give up everything, including Caterina, to remain RC? Or will this unlikely pair find their way back to each other? . . . h a s h t a g s : #ofprincesandpromises #sandhyamenon #contemporaryya #ireadya #yabooks #yabookstagram #retelling #yaretelling #becauseofreading #bookishfeatures #booknerdigans #booksofinstagram #bookhoarder #photooftheday #bookrecommendations #wanttoread #booksarelove #booksaremylife #capturethemoment #seekthesimplicity #beautifulbookcovers #ilovebooks (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKzn0AttIs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy first day of Spring everyone!!! 🌻🌿🌷🌞💐 Spring is honestly my second favorite season right after summer. If you couldn’t tell already, is pretty much always springtime on my feed😂 Spring is all about new beginnings and I just love the idea of a fresh start. Plus, I am a sucker for anything Easter. 🌻🌿🌷🌞💐 Last week I posted my Spring Reading Guide on my blog (link in bio). It included a variety of children’s classics as well as some YA contemporaries. My favorite of the YA genre being To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. 🌻🌿🌷🌞💐 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksandflowers #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #springreads #springreading #bookstack #contemporaryya #yaromance #humansofbookstagram #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #jennyhan #library #homelibrary #bookblog #bookblogger #bookshelf #shelfie #brights #bibliophile #bookish #bookspines #paperback #annaandthefrenchkiss (at Denver, Colorado)
