I've never had an issue with thinking sex scenes are hot even if the characters are younger than me - I'm 26 - because even if I'm reading YA I never imagine the characters as their actual ages, I just can't because most of the time the characters do not act anything like teenagers. I always imagine characters that are younger to be around my age, it feels more natural and realistic. That's just me, I've never felt weird and I just personally don't think it is, it's fiction.
Taryn Stanley I completely agree with this. I know in the back of my mind that they are young, but being 25, I picture ‘young’ people to be around my age. The characters in these stories do not act like teenagers in my life experience.
@@isabella-nu2fc many people have or they go into how AWESOME it is that now they can finally 'read so much!', I know that Whitney didn't say that but I was replying to someone else on here, not Whitney.
Omg so I was seeing on goodreads that we were reading Nevernight at the same time and I got WAY too excited and I couldn’t wait to see what we thought of it and it turns out we both loved it 👏🏻
thank you! yeah, we have a whole admin building. we have a nutrition team, a team that liaisons with our locations that distribute food, people who source food from grocery stores, marketing, fundraising, etc. :)
My only problem with this book was that I didn’t understand why the main character had to be 16. Nothing against teenagers at all and I’m very sex positive, but the story as a whole would have been more believable and enjoyable if she was 19 or something. Idk.
you know when you buy nevernight and your about to start reading it but before you do you just decide to look up some reviews because youre addicted to booktube and then you see that whitney uploaded this video an hour ago and you just :)
it's been 3 years since i read the original shatter me trilogy, and i'm 2 lazy to reread them to understand the new ones... but now that i know kenji is a main feature??? i might return
This series is the reason why Jay Kristoff is in my top 3 favourite authors. It's so good that I've been putting off the last book since it's release, I tried reading it but I was NOT ready ;_;
We finally got some rain here in NE Florida and it freakin PORED for 20 minutes than stopped! I love your videos, your cats (Hi Gordie!!) , your singing, all of it!!! It makes this corona virus pandemic a lil more bearable!!! 😊❤❤❤ OH YES, I'm FINALLY going to read ACTAR! !! I'm buying a copy of it from someone on Ebay, I should have it in abt a week, I'm NOT one who likes fantasy, but I think that might be changing...reading this middle grade fantasy book about books right now (it's The Library of The Unwritten by AJ Hackwith and it's really good so far, but I have to read it kind of slowly to comprehend the double meaning of a bunch of the phrases. Take care, stay healthy!! 😊❤❤
I'm a teacher and I handed out meals to.my kiddos and their families. It was the highlight of my day being able to go do that. Now I'm no longer able to do that. My principal died yesterday morning due to the virus and so now my sister and I are under quarantine because we were around him. So thank you for doing the work that you do. My students are almost all economically sufficient and I worry about them constantly. I hope you have been staying safe and are in good health. Your videos bring a nice light to these dark days.
also yes it definitely is a bit weird to think about 16 year olds in a sexual way (I always picture Mia as in her 20's even though I know it's wrong lol) but as someone who was sexual at that age I've kind of just take as it's a normal human thing and to pretend teenagers don't have sex (though some definitely don't!) is just ignoring that aspect.
same! i constantly age characters up to be like me which is bad. but i agree im like yall can have ur fun.... i will be over here.... decidedly not horny
The start of this vlog is perfect! I love thunderstorms 😻 It's so difficult for me to read or even watch media that kill cats or dogs or they die LOL I become a mess.
Okay, first of all, Nevernight has just shot up on my Scribd TBR (TBL? whatever), so thanks ;) Second: I'm sure you've answered this question a million times but is it really worth continuing the Shatter Me series? Like, I adored the first three books but Restore Me has been sitting on my shelf ever since it came out and at first I didn't dare to read it because re-reading the first three had me so ridiculously obsessed with Warner that I felt like I needed some distance lol. And then your vlogs have kinda really put me off reading Defy Me. You were the one who got me into the series in the first place, so I trust your opinion. And although Ignite Me ended when the real revolution started, I don't necessarily feel the need to find out what happened after. Would love to hear your honest opinion on this :)
yes! i heard you can skip them the first time if it's too confusing but i actually liked them. i only skimmed a few that went into absurd, needless detail
Never read this book. But. I love YOURE personality hhah so weird to say online like. C’mon. But yay! We would be friends in real life. Now on to more of your videos. :)!
A cat died? Well I'm sorry sis i can't read this book now
dude it's graphic too
@@WhittyNovels omg i can definitely not read it now
i’m an rejuvenated y’all whitney just posted
"it's not some fantasy book just trying to be sarah j maas" i-

When you put in the clip of the lightening I was like “wow look at the stars” then I realized it was the DUST ON MY SCREEEEEEN
look at the staaaars look how they shine fooooooor you
the quarantine content we were all waiting for. bless
I have never read a single book in then defy me series, whatever it's actually called, but I love hearing your theories about them ngl
aww haha thank you.
i’m so excited to watch you read this series, just WAIT until the ending of godsgrave
oliviareadsalatte i know right?? I had to immediately read darkdawn after that
everyone was talking about it before the last one came out and i was like ........ ima sit this one out. yall look in pain

Everyone: I HATE SOCIAL DISTANCING UGHHH ME: YASSSS I CAN READDDD YAYYYY YAY YAY YAY YAY YA YA
A lot of people have lost their jobs... Social distancing is not just 'staying home'
Mooni Reads damn no one even said that
@@isabella-nu2fc many people have or they go into how AWESOME it is that now they can finally 'read so much!', I know that Whitney didn't say that but I was replying to someone else on here, not Whitney.
Mooni Reads I didnt say that you responded to Whitney? You make no sense
Mooni Reads I’m sorry. I was trying to look on the bright side of things. I’m sorry.
i stg when you said "i don't see any blood" and held up a red egg, i choked on my tongue. i did not sign up for a horror movie, thank you oh so much.
kjfsglsgfdhf im so sorry
The clip of the rain honestly brings me joy. Rain is such a relaxing thing to listen to, I love reading when it's raining
i LOVE rain. i might just put rain sound effects in the background of every vlog
I'ma Stan that if you do
I also stan water. Water is great in every sense
water is really that bitch
Omg so I was seeing on goodreads that we were reading Nevernight at the same time and I got WAY too excited and I couldn’t wait to see what we thought of it and it turns out we both loved it 👏🏻

LOL great timing!
Thank you for all the work you do. ❤️
nevernight is in my top 3 favourite series! i honestly can’t wait for you to read the next two books and if you do, BRING TISSUES YOU WILL NEED THEM

it's been 3 years since i read the original shatter me trilogy, and i'm 2 lazy to reread them to understand the new ones... but now that i know kenji is a main feature??? i might return

The paprika egg part cracked me up. I wasn't expecting the paprika and got concerned for a sec.

You're a wonderful singer, Whitney💛
half an hour of quality Whitney content? yes. i stan one legend.
This series is the reason why Jay Kristoff is in my top 3 favourite authors. It's so good that I've been putting off the last book since it's release, I tried reading it but I was NOT ready

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I needed right now! ❤️

Not miss rona.. stay safe ... thanks for the vlog I wanna read nevernight but keep putting it off
i put it off too and i dont think i wouldve read it soon if it weren't for my tbr jar picking it but it's honestly pretty easy/fun to read!
Another video of Whitney to keep me sane during this quarantine :))
Hope you enjoyed it!
I had the EXACT same conundrum about Nevernight's smutty scene lol I'm glad to see I wasn't alone!
i was enjoying it but didn't wanna enjoy it too much.... ya know?
can you do another journal flip through?
YAS! Aaaah I’m so so happy you loved Nevernight. Loved it! And Jay is an awesome human. :)
we are both tol people
I love that you work at a Foodbank, that's so cool.
We need a full cover!!
This title cleared my skin
I’ve dnf’ed nevernight after countless trials. It’s unreadable to me. I’ll still watch this for Whitney, though.
LOL i understand. thanks for watching!
Why do I feel like in every vlog you post I am literally Gordo? We stan an attention seeking presh boi
he's so snuggly it's like i cant get the camera off him
I don't know what song you were singing at the end but it was beautiful I love it!!
here by sasha sloan! thank you :)
I think you should end every video with a singing clip; that was beautiful.
One of my favorite booktubers reading one of my top 3 favorite books? I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE.
hahaha thanks for watching!
@@WhittyNovels Of course! Thank you for making content that always brightens my day :)
the flavor, the taste.... immaculate

Cats - always willing to teach us humility.

Currently reading never night for OWLs - only 16% in and so good
yeesss!! good luck with the OWLs :)
As a Massachusetts native, Dunkin is my blood at this point tbh
it still shocks me to see it called dunkin and not dunkin donuts
WhittyNovels branding-wise I agree but we’ve always called it Dunkins or Dunks up there tbh
You have a really good voice :D
thank you!
What was the song you sang at the end??? It tickled my heart and I loved it!!
here by sasha sloan!
@@WhittyNovels THANK YOU 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I want to read the second and third book. I loved that book so much.
same!! i might order the third from an indie bookstore so it's here when i finish book two
WhittyNovels omg that is such a good idea. I eventually get the U.K. Covers bc’s they are gorgeous.
