Review: Forever by Maggie Stiefvater
Click here for the book description. Available at Amazon, Book Depository, Chapters, Scholastic Books Canada I was nervous going into my reading of Forever, knowing that this would be the last book in the series. First, because it was a series that had grown on me, considerably, between Shiver (book one) and Linger (book two). Secondly, because I don’t like endings! But I put on a brave face and dove in. Having spent so much time away from the books since I had read Linger (a whole year), it was nice, early in the book, to have a reminder of why I’ve enjoyed this series so much.

On Location with Maggie Stiefvater
I had the great pleasure of seeing Maggie Stiefvater live on Saturday, as she stopped in at Chapters in Oshawa, Ontario for part of her Forever tour. Maggie came on stage, ready to go with stories of other live events she’s been to, a tale of how she found out she’t hit number one on the NYT Bestseller’s list, and more. From the images below, you can see she is full of energy (yeah, let’s go with that as the reason that some are blurry), but she’s witty and full of charm. Unfortunately, these events really never allow for a one on one conversation, but I did manage to squeeze in my own question. When I asked Maggie how she was able, when writing, to switch from her quirky online/in-person personality … Read entire article »

Review: Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
In Maggie Stiefvater’s Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past…and figuring out a way to survive in the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves…and is nonetheless drawn to Cole. At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love-the light and the dark, the warm and the cold-in a way you will never forget.
