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! Sam is so very endearing, in a decidedly non-angsty or overt way. His breathtaking blend of maturity and vulnerability tugs at my heartstrings and the strength of his relationship with Grace is unswerving. He is warm and thoughtful and artistic, and I liked him right from the start of the series . Because I can't resist, here are two of my favorite Sam quotes, the first from Grace's point of view in Shiver and the second from Sam&
Shiver looks interesting and I'm still reading Graceling. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteOoooo! I had seen the cover for Fire, but not for Shiver. As if I wasn't already dying to read it! That cover is gorgeous - can't wait! And I'm looking forward to catching up with Scarlett and Spencer, too. Thank you, thank you, for posting these!
ReplyDeleteThe Fire cover is beautiful, plus it's similar enough to Graceling so that you can tell it's part of the same series.
ReplyDeleteThe Shiver cover is really striking, I would definitely pick it up in the store to have a closer look.
Oh, I can't wait for Fire and Shiver. The covers a re great. Do you know if Scarlett Fever is a sequel to Suite Scarlett (a book I haven't read)? The model looks the same.
ReplyDeletePrincess Allie, you bet! Hope Graceling is treating you right. :)
ReplyDeleteChelle, you are so welcome. I, too, am really excited about getting back together with Scarlett and Spencer. Such a great brother/sister relationship there.
Li, you're right. I'd pick Shiver up for sure based on the cover alone. It has a bit of the How I Live Now going on. Very exciting.
Anon, yes! Scarlett Fever is the sequel to Suite Scarlett and I highly recommend it. Hilarious.
Very fun - will definitely be keeping my eyes open for these in coming months.
ReplyDeleteYUM.
ReplyDeleteJanssen, I agree. Much to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteErin, lol. They do look tempting, don't they?
The cover art for Fire is simply stunning. I have Graceling sitting near the top of my YA TBR pile... it's also a lovely cover.
ReplyDeleteI also have to agree that shiver looks very tempting. I'm drawn to it as well.
Christine, Kristin Cashore really lucked out in the eye-catching, sumptuous cover department, huh? I think you'll enjoy Graceling.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing cover for Cashore's next book! I am looking forward to reading more from her. Graceling was very good, I heard about it from you :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, I know! So red and fiery. I'm very glad you liked Graceling. Hopefully Fire will be just as good.
