Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
Publisher: Scholastic Press (July 13th, 2011)
Reading Level: Young Adult
Hardcover: 360 pages
Source: Publisher
Series: The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2
Rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past.. and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves.. and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love — the light and the dark, the warm and the cold — in a way you will never forget.

Review: I was such a huge fan of Shiver. I was amazed by each detail Maggie placed inside the story. It was beautiful! Much of that continued with Linger, but I will say that I didn't love it as much. Sam and Grace go through a lot in Linger. Grace fights against her parents in order to stay with Sam. It seemed to be typical teenage drama but much more goes along with their love story. Something is happening with Grace and they don't know how to deal with it.

I'm not a big fan of multiple points-of-view and this book seemed to have too many. It often switched from Sam to Grace, to Isabelle and then Cole. I felt that even a majority of the book was focused on Isabelle and Cole.but honestly, that was fine with me because I preferred their story this time around. Sam and Grace were sooo depressed. I understood why but it just made the book harder to read. I felt myself dreading Sam and Grace's POV, and wanting to read more about Cole and Isabelle.

Isabelle is a great character. She is tough, stubborn, and sarcastic. That made the perfect match for Cole. He played the role of the tough guy but there ended up being so much more to him than first expected. Cole has a lot of demons from his past and he soon discovers that no matter what, he can't run from his past life. Isabelle is still going through pain of her own and together they seemed to bring some hope to each other's lives.

Sam and Grace are still strong characters and their level of love for each other cannot be denied. It goes beyond puppy love and each character goes through a lot to be together. They had several scenes that were completely adorable and I do really want to see what happens with them next.

Even though Linger didn't grab me as much as Shiver did, it still built upon a fascinating story. It has many dramatic moments, twists, and surprises. I'm looking forward to reading Forever and seeing what's in store for these characters!

Again, another half successful weekend. I finished "Eragon" and "Wintergirls" on audio this weekend and started listening to "Great Expectations" — you know, as I have to teach it in a few weeks.:) But I really need to start opening up a book or two so this week I'm setting a goal I hope even I can accomplish realistically.

This week I'd like to read:

"Forever" by Maggie Stiefvater

"In Maggie Stiefvater's SHIVER, Grace and Sam found each other. In LINGER, they fought to be together. Now, in FOREVER, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. And love is harder and harder to hold on to as death comes closing in."

Hosted by Sheila — Thank you!

Well, I didn't necessarily completely my entire goal from last week of reading both "Spellbound" and "Lost Voices" — but I did finish "Spellbound." With the 4th of July coming this weekend I'll be headed home (Northern Minnesota) to spend some time with my family as D works all weekend. I love my time at the lake and am very excited for some reading time.

This week I'd like to read:
"Lost Voices" by Sarah Porter

"Fourteen-year-old Luce has had a tough life, but she reaches the depths of despair when she is assaulted and left on the cliffs outside of a grim, gray Alaskan fishing village. She expects to die when she tumbles into the icy waves below, but instead undergoes an astonishing transformation and becomes a mermaid. A tribe of mermaids finds Luce and welcomes her in—all of them, like her, lost girls who surrendered their humanity in the darkest moments of their lives. Luce is thrilled with her new life until she discovers the catch: the mermaids feel an uncontrollable desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to lure ships into the rocks. Luce possesses an extraordinary singing talent, which makes her important to the tribe—she may even have a shot at becoming their queen. However her struggle to retain her humanity puts her at odds with her new friends. Will Luce be pressured into committing mass murder?"

Why I read this: I adored Shiver and couldn't wait to see what happened next for Sam and Grace.

Plot: The plot wasn't was fast-paced and captivating as Shiver, but it held my attention enough. I felt like it was very repetitive in regards to Grace and Cole's conditions — it could have moved a bit faster. Once I realized where Cole's plot line came in I liked it, but until that moment towards the last few chapters of the book I didn't know what to expect with Cole and felt like he was kind of taking of space.

Characters: The characters are what made this book. I adore the relationship between Sam and Grace and I loved the how Cole described their relationship. Hearing someone else's description of the two love-birds made me want an outsider to describe my own relationship simply because "I want that." Weird, isn't it? I really loved getting to know Isabel better. She's so tortured — I love it! (Is that weird?)

Relatability: I am not in love with a werewolf and have no intention of being bitten by and becoming a werewolf myself. But I could relate to Sam and Grace's feelings for each other. There's a line where Sam describes seeing her for the first time in a long time and he says (something around the lines of) — I miss her more now that she's here beside me. At first that line was confusing, but then I realized that when you're really in love it's not that "you don't know what you have until it's gone," painfully you know exactly what you have when you have it and you're afraid to lose it.

Cover: I ADORE the covers of both Shiver and Linger.

Random Thoughts: In both Shiver and Linger I really disliked all the lyrics. But maybe if I were a teenager again I'd see the appeal to the emotional tortured soul. I also really REALLY dislike Grace's parents — UGH!

Final Thoughts: I can't wait to bring both of these books into my classroom for my students. Highly recommended!

"then. When Sam met Grace, he was a wolf and she was a girl. Eventually he found a way to become a boy, and their love moved from a curious distance to the intense closeness of shared lives. now. That should have been the end of their story. But Grace was not meant to stay human. Now she is the wolf. And the wolves of Mercy Falls are about to be killed in one final, spectacular hunt. forever. Sam would do anything for Grace. But can one boy and one love really change a hostile, predatory world? The past, the present, and the future are about to collide in one pure moment — a moment of death or life, farewell or forever."

I feel like I should have reread "Shiver " and "Linger " before picking up the anticipated finale — "Forever." I found myself relying on Twitter and my book bff Button for help on remembering who was who and what their role in Sam and Grace's lives were. While I remember the "big" plot elements, many of the minor (or even somewhat minor) characters were forgotten. For instance, I remembered something between Isabel and Cole but I couldn't remember the big falling out. I forgot about Olivia and I couldn't remember why Rachel was important.

In the beginning, I remember telling Button that I wished the perspectives were merely limited to Sam and Grace because Cole and Isabel were confusing (and, I'll be honest, I may have added inconsequential). Boy, by the end of "Forever" did my perspective change. I began to feel closer to Cole and Isabel than Sam and Grace (once I remembered their story line) and I couldn't help but root for their success.

Random Rant — I felt like I was stuck in this never ending cycle during the beginning of the novel. You'll see what I mean.

Over all, I enjoyed "Forever" but I somehow lost the enthusiasm for the characters and the plot. Maybe this is due to it being about a year since reading "Linger" — but I just didn't feel the urgency or the connection that I had hoped I would. "Forever" is definitely a must read for anyone who enjoyed "Shiver" and "Linger" but I would recommend at least reviewing the stories if it's been a while.

To the FTC, with love: Received at BEA 2011

It's that time of year, Twitter and my GR is buzzing with the excitement of another year gone and another year here. With all the upcoming Reading Challenges and Goals for the new year, I can't help but feel motivated and ready (whether my classroom is or isn't is another question). Yesterday I looked at all the books I read and came up with my top ten favorites. Feeling a little extra motivated I even made a video — beware: it is my first video, and while I'm extremely proud of it, it isn't perfect.

Books mentioned:

10. Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready
9. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
8. Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
7. Beastly by Alex Flinn
6. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
5. Matched by Allie Condie
4. I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
3. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
2. Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Colli ns

After making that list I still felt like something was missing, like that list alone didn't sum up 2010. I continued to think about it this morning and then it hit me: it isn't always the books that mean the most, sometimes it's the authors. I read 65 books in 2010 and the above are my favorite reads, but what about my favorite authors? The authors who were crazy kind, excited to talk to me, and who were full enthusiasm?

Here are my top authors of 2010:

• Lauren Oliver — Besides being an awesome writer, you were so approachable at BEA and I was so impressed when you remembered my name when you say me randomly walking around!
• Shannon Delany — You single-handedly were the reason Sheila and I made it to the Author Event at BEA where I met so many great women! You were so friendly, understanding, and patient with my back and forth Twittering to find where you all were. I so appreciate everything you did and can't wait for your second book.
• Courtney Summers — Your books never cease to amaze me, but I'll never forget your Author Interview with my struggling readers (and they never will either). You really demonstrated to my students that authors are people too — no matter how famous! Thank you!
• Denise Jaden — Girl, "Losing Faith" rocked my socks off but you are just as outstanding (if not more!). You have such an outreach to readers and bloggers, I am so impressed!
• Violet Haberdasher — I loved "Knightley Academy" and the main reason I bought it at BEA was because of how approachable you are! You were so friendly and excited to be at the NYC library! I can't wait for book two!
• Simone Elkeles — I haven't even read one of your books (yet), although I do have all of them on my bookshelves and in my classroom. Your books are books that I don't have to pitch to students — they pick them up, love the cover, love the synopsis, and come to me later saying "I loved this novel! Give me another one like it!" At BEA you were so friendly and even joked about me actually being a teacher because of my size (true story, my students think the same thing!). You gave me two signed posters and they were the first posters up in my classroom. My students can't believe I met you! Thank you so much for giving a first year teacher some credibility!
• Shari Maurer — I still need to read your book (I know, I'm behind), but I love your enthusiasm for reading and for struggling readers! I will never forget at BEA how willing you were to talk to me about my students (and I hadn't even met them yet!). Thanks!
• Karen Essex — I read a review of "Dracula in Love" on a blog and commented that I really wanted to read your novel but had gone to BN and it was $25, within a half an hour later you had emailed me and asked if I'd like a copy for review. It was one of those moments that my students said, "That didn't just happen, did it?" And it did. Thank you for being so awesome!
• Simmone Howell — My first Australian author! I am so excited to read your books in the near future! Your enthusiasm for reading and for students means a lot to me!

Alright ladies in conjunction with the Summer Giveaway Hop I would like to celebrate two other momentous occasions this week. First of all, my birthday (whoot!) is next Sunday (August 7th) and (probably more important) I may or may not have forgotten to celebrate the blog's Two Year Blogoversary!! I know, how could I be so selfish! This blog officially turned two back in the early part of June — but with the wedding, summer school, moving, and returning from BEA it kind of went uncelebrated!

To make up for my lack of organization, celebrate my birthday, and partake in some Summer Fun I am hosting a BEA 2011 giveaway prize pack including an ARC of "Forever" by Maggie Stiefvater, "Fallen" by Karin Slaughter on audiobook, "Martin Misunderstood" by Karin Slaughter on audiobook, "Enclave" by Ann Aguirre, "The Hangman's Daughter" by Oliver Potzsch (August ARC), "Falling Together" by Marisa De Los Santos (October ARC), "Wintertown" by Stephen Emond (December ARC), "Don't Breathe A Word" by Jennifer McMahon, "The Girl Who Was on Fire" by edited by Leah Wilson, and "The Beekeeper's Lament" by Hannah Nordhaus. Links are to Goodreads.

You don't have to follow to enter, there are no "extra points," it's simply put your name in the form and go. One lucky winner will win it all (US only — sorry!) and have a box of BEA 2011 books sent their way on August 12th (winner will be chosen on the 8th but I'm leaving for vacation and won't be back to mail the books until that Friday).

If you'd like to help me my husband and I choose the photo from our wedding to put on our thank you cards — please vote on the picture you like most! No, there is no prize for voting (so don't get your hearts up). Check out the pictures and vote here!

Don't forget to join the party at the other blog's participating as well!

What did you get in your mailbox this week?

*IMM is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and it was inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie.

In June (of 2010), I looked into what books I had read from Good Books and Good Wine 's list of Top 100 YA Books and challenged myself to see how many I can read before the end of the year. Well, as it is now the end of the year, I thought I should look at my progress, or lack of progress. I only read three. Yes, only three. I've decided to give myself another year to finish this challenge. Last time, I only had a few books actually in my possession, now I have more than ten. Hopefully this year will go a bit better than the last six months.
Here's the list:

What do you think? Can I do it?

Today I'm participating in two memes — the Book Bloggers Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books & Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted at Parajunkee's View. I am also putting up my weekly recap... get it? "Follow My Hop Recap?"
I really enjoy these two memes because I love the community and this is the a great way to meet people and visit other bloggers. I don't ask for a "follow" — simply a "hello.":) If you like what you see I definitely invite you to stick around and introduce yourself.

This week's question from the Hop: What do you do when I'm not reading? Well, I am currently teaching summer school but in my "spare" time I love spending time with my husband and working on our new house. I also love going to the movies and TCBY.
This week's question from Follow Me Friday: Q. How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library?
I currently get most of my books from NetGalley and the Galley Grab. But I make use of my library (especially when it comes to my audiobook addiction). I don't buy many books simply because of the expense — but if there's a book I can't live without I definitely fork over the cash.

Review — "Forever" by Maggie Stiefvater Review — Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson It's Monday — 7.11.11

"The characters and plot were wove so intricately that I couldn't help but race through this novel." — Miss Remmers

From Amazon.com...

"Grace, 17, loves the peace and tranquility of the woods behind her home. It is here during the cold winter months that she gets to see her wolf—the one with the yellow eyes. Grace is sure that he saved her from an attack by other wolves when she was nine. Over the ensuing years he has returned each season, watching her with those haunting eyes as if longing for something to happen. When a teen is killed by wolves, a hunting party decides to retaliate. Grace races through the woods and discovers a wounded boy shivering on her back porch. One look at his yellow eyes and she knows that this is her wolf in human form. Fate has finally brought Sam and Grace together, and as their love grows and intensifies, so does the reality of what awaits them. It is only a matter of time before the winter cold changes him back into a wolf, and this time he might stay that way forever."

Shiver is a novel that I have heard much about for the past few months, especially since the release of Linger. It took me awhile to finally purchase my own copy and sit down to read this novel, but as soon as I did I couldn't put it down.

With alternating perspectives and short chapters, initially I thought the book to be rather choppy. But I soon got over this small detail and found myself consumed into Sam and Grace's story. It also took me a while, probably the first half of the book, to get over the "creepiness" of a girl falling in love with a wolf. But once I came to terms with it, I fell in love with the characters and plot.

I loved the different take on "werewolves" — it was refreshing to read something different in regards to wolves/men than Team Jacob and the general conceptions put out into literature. It was fun and exciting to discover this new type of werewolf.

The tone of this novel was exceptional in most cases; I can see myself using parts of this book for an example of good literary tone. For example, after watching a movie (from Sam's point of view): "After the sci-fi flick ended (the world was saved but civilian casualties were high), I sat with Grace... " (227). This is a great example of literary tone because it's so honest and true to what a teenager would really say. I think in today's YA literature good examples of tone are hard to come by. I will mention, however, that most of Rachel's dialogue suffered as a result of stereotypical over tone; all of the "oh my God," "like," and "whatever"'s really wore on my soul.

Overall, this was a fantastic book. The characters and plot were wove so intricately that I couldn't help but race through this novel. Plus, I love the setting of Northern Minnesota!
