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&
I LOVE this cover and am already imagining it on my bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Kristen. I let out a gasp of appreciation the moment I saw it.
DeleteOh yes, I have preordered this. :) Uh huh, we're thinking alike on this one.
ReplyDeleteGood on you, speedy! I can't wait.
Delete* girly squeal*
ReplyDeleteHehe. Precisely.
DeleteI like this cover aside from the fact the model looks a little too young to me.
ReplyDeleteShe does look young. But then the original one looked way old to me. And, uh, WELL-ENDOWED.
DeleteI want to get a copy of this too!
ReplyDeleteI just can't envision not having it on my shelf!
DeleteNice! Much more like my idea of Kate.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I hope this means new covers for the rest of the series!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be sweet?
DeleteNice. I'll have to preorder this one since I'm curious about the bonus material (!).
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. We moved yesterday and things are crazy. I tried to comment twice using my laptop without luck. I also loved the pictures of your children.

I know! I'm hoping for Curran POVs and maybe some stuff we haven't read.
DeleteThanks so much, Karen. I can't believe you're moved! I know how crazy that can be. Hope unpacking and settling in goes smoothly for you.
Thanks, Angie. Now that I'm able to use my desktop computer, the world feels right again! I'm ignoring the chaos behind me... K
DeleteI wonder what that first time in print thing will be. I think they blogged about it, but I just forgot. I already own all of the books, but I doubt I'll be able to resist getting a copy of this, simply because I'm a Kate and Curran addict.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm thinking possibly some Curran POV stuff, but I can't remember for sure.
DeleteLove finding fellow addicts, btw. I am an unrepentant one. :)
Oh man. Why do publishers do this to us?!
ReplyDeleteI know, Christine. It's impossible to resist!
