It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
Guess I should go ahead and read it! I hope it lives up to your hopes and expectations!
ReplyDeleteHuh. I am curious to see how they will pull this off. Esp. the mild incest.
ReplyDeleteOhhh - goody! And those FAQs were made of awesome.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you should! It's gorgeous. And I hope so, too. :)
ReplyDeleteJenny, I imagine it will go down similar to the book. It is what it is. But it will be interesting to see how much they play up the family connection or not.
Michelle, I know! I was delighted.
Awesome! Here's to hoping they do a good job . . . =)
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great news! Now all that's left for me to do is to actually read the book, who's been sitting in my TBR pile forever!
ReplyDeleteCam, seriously. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteKay, lol. Bump it up, woman. :)
Wow, she thinks the script is better than the book?
ReplyDeleteSome authors, I'd think they're exaggerating or being nice. Based on what little I've read about/by Rosoff, she doesn't seem the type.
Trisha, I know. I found myself thinking the same thing. She thinks it's better? Um, wow...
ReplyDeleteI became interested in literature recently, and I think that reading books is the best thing it happened to me since the invention of the cinemas, I like to read suspense novels and also literature about short movies.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it will be a great film. However, I need more opinions. Why do you think it will be a successful film or not? I would be really grateful if I receive some opinions.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a good film as it would be a great way of introducing moral responsibility to those on the threshold of adulthood. But what do you think?
great post, i really like, you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI read this book two years ago, and absolutely loved it! I was hoping they would make a movie of it and I'm thrilled that they chose Saoirse Ronan for Daisy
