I'm awfully excited to be a part of this unique blog tour in celebration of the release of Forever by the insanely talented Maggie Stiefvater . Scholastic recently launched an online community called This Is Teen to connect readers with their favorite YA authors and books. Visit their page on Facebook for all the latest news on Maggie Stiefvater and Forever . Each stop on the tour is hosting a particular character from the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, and I have the good luck to be the stop for Sam--my favorite emo-wolfboy!

ReplyDeleteJust knowing that Ball is a Sookie fan makes me smile :)
Hey, Deety! I'm happy to hear the first ep. is good. I have to say the trailer has me all tingly. And from what I can see of him, I definitely agree. Bill=hot. And I needed a longer glimpse of Eric...
ReplyDeleteHey, Mike. Yep, I'm thinking it will be the bomb. It's just so awesome and crazy that this series made it to an HBO series.
You know, I think it looks okay - watchable at least!
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking it out for sure.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing HBO picked this up. I totally want to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI know. We may have to try the first few episodes on On Demand to see what we think.
