Hello blog readers^•^
I know, I know. I'm very behind in my reading. But that's because I'm in the middle if like 5 books right now so I've been spending more time reading than blogging. Sorry! Anyway really soon I'm going to be done with like five books at the same time, so I'll catch up.
Book #10: Linger
Finished: February 28, 2011
SPOILER ALERT! (For Shiver)
Linger is the second book in the wolves of mercy falls series by maggie stiefvater. The first book in the series is Shiver (remember? From about a month ago). When I start a series and I like the first book than I go on to the next book, thats true with most people.
Linger Summary: Linger picks up a few months after were shiver ended. Sam is human and no longer changes in to a wolf because of the cold. It's almost spring so Sam, Grace, and Isabella start to meet the new wolves Beck changed. They meet Cole, one of the new wolves, how has very familiar face and hidden secret. Along side of that things are happening to Grace that no one can explain...
My favorite things about the book: I liked this book better that Shiver, which I know is weird because sequels normally aren't as good as the first book or movie. I think I liked it better because of the new character, Cole. I just loved his back story. Maggie Stiefvater creates great back stories. Cole is the lead singer in this boyband and he hates his life and wgat he stands for so much that he just wants to loss himself. I loved how as the story went on Cole changed who he is and really started to turn his life around. He went from suicides careless teen to... just human. I loved how adorable Grace and Sam are together. I loved how isabella had a bigger part in this book to and how she helps Cole, and how Cole helps her. The book ends with a huge cliffhanger. That's always good. Makes you need to have next book. I love that feeling; needing a book. I also just loved how the book was in green ink. Fantastic ;)
Some things I didn't like about the book: At the end of Shiver Sam is cured from being a wolf so he goes on dating Grace and all. I didn't like how Grace over reacted to her parents over reaction to when they found Sam in her room at night. No they were not sleeping together, only next to each other and Grace parents got really mad so they grounded her. Sure Grace does have some good points she proves but she did kind of go over board. She should have just taken her punishment. It wasn't that much. Only a weekend. I don't know I would have reacted different. She just needs to chill. The other thing I didn't like was how Cole was a sex/drug/suicidal/ guy, but like I said through out the novel he changes so that's good. Over all a very good book.
Rating: I would give Linger 4.4 out of 5 stars
Recommend it?: Yes, but again start at the beginning Shiver. Much less confusing that way.

Book #2
Hello blog readers^•^
Book #2: Shiver
Finished: January 13, 2011
So the second book I read this year is one I have been wanting to read for a very long time. The book club I'm in at my school (which only has four kids in it including me) was planing to read shiver by maggie stiefvater some time last year. So I decided I would wait until we all read it together instead of going out and buying it myself and reading it. So I waited and waited and waited... We never read it -.- So finally I couldn't wait any longer and I read it.
Shiver Summary: There's this girl named Grace who lives in a town on the outskirts of some woods. In those woods live wolves- werewolves. They only become human when it's warm out, like in the summer, and become wolves when it is cold out, like in the winter, and every year they have less and less time to be human. Grace was attacked by the wolves when she was very little, but one wolf, Sam, saved her. Ever since then they have been watching each other and this book tells the story of what happens when Grace meets Sam as a human. This is Sam's last year of being a human and Grace isn't ready to let him go.
My favorite thing about the book: I love Sam's back story about how he became a wolf and what his parents did to him, and I love how they bring that up at different parts if the book. I could really connect with Grace, with her being a quite girl who loves reading in a town where she doesn't fit in. I loved the ending, slight cliff hanger ;) and I loved the reference to poetry and Sam's life being in song lyrics. Very creative. I'm very excited to read the next two in the series.
Some things I didn't like about the book: I didn't like how after, what 2?, weeks of Grace knowing Sam as a human they slept together. I mean I know Grace thought she was about to lose him forever but I think maggie stiefvater should have wait until the next book, or book after to have that happen seeing how it is a trilogy. But of course the rules of love are different when you're dealing with one human and one fictional creature. I like Sam's take on what happened and how he thought she did it to get back at here parents. Makes you think a little. Other than that I loved the book.
Rating: I would give shiver a 4.2 out of five stars.
Recommend it?: If you like fantasy love stories than yes :)!
