Short N’Sweet Book Review: What’s Not to Love by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka

Leave a comment

Welcome to the Short N’ Sweet Book Review! For the almost nine years that I’ve been reviewing books on this blog, I’ve written long, wordy reviews that, let’s be honest, not a lot of people are probably reading. This year I decided to shorten those reviews and get straight to the point – what is this book about, who wrote it, where you can find and a short review on what I loved, liked and maybe thought could be better.

Today’s review features an enemies-to-lovers, cuthroat competition between two smart and ruthless teenagers and the fourth novel, What’s Not to Love, from the dynamic duo, Wibbroka, Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka!

Celebrate Teen Literature Day! Books to Recommend Reluctant Readers!

I absolutely adore teen literature. From the first time I picked up The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot back in 2000 (a book series that is infinitely better than the movies even try to be – fight me), I was hooked and I continue to be hooked. A HUGE reason that What A Nerd Girl Says is exists in the first place is because, as a twenty-four year old YA lover, I was just so tired of people crapping on it all the time! Since 2012, I have been fully immersed in the YA community so the idea that teens aren’t reading just seems absolutely wild to me! I feel like all that I see is teens reading, reading, reading.

Shadow and Bone Comes Out Tomorrow!!!!

Leave a comment

After all of this time, I can’t believe that its almost time! Shadow and Bone, the Netflix TV show, combining the stories of the Grisha trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, both by Leigh Bardugo, will be hitting the streaming platform tomorrow, April 23rd, and I just honestly can’t believe we’ve finally reached this day. Both of these series are easily favorites and I’ve been a fan and friend of Leigh’s since meeting her back in 2013. I remember that the book series was optioned at the time, I believe by David Heyman, who is known for grabbing onto Harry Potter movie rights before anyone else. As with a lot of options, it just never panned out and I thought that was that.
