Book 78 "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater

I just seriously cried. I just got done reading "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater and I literally was bawling at the ending. It took me awhile to finish this book since I rarely had time to read a book the last 4 days, but I'm so glad I finally got to finish it. I have "Shiver" on my Kindle. This is not a book about Vampires...it's about Werewolves...well actually wolves. It's a story about a girl, Grace who is always keeping an eye out on the wolves that are behind her house in the woods. One specific wolf which has beautiful yellow eyes. This wolf saved her life when she was younger. What she doesn't know is that that the wolf is actually a teenage boy who is known as Sam. These wolves change back to their human selves in the summer time and the winter time, they become wolves again. Eventually though, they never change back to their human body. =( Well, the ending made me seriously cry and I'm happy to admit it. I loved the book. It was a different writing style from the other authors I've read. Actually, Maggie has the same idea as J.R. Ward. She goes back and worth with the characters. One chapter it will be Grace and the other chapter it will be Sam. Their the main characters of the story so you get to know their different points of view.
I'm looking forward to the next book coming out this summer since this book left me hanging. "Linger" comes out in the Summertime. I can't wait!
I have found yet another author who I adore and the best thing is, she lives in Virginia. She's supposed to make an appearance in Charlottesville in March, Williamsburg in April and Virginia Beach in October. =) I hope I can make it to one of her book signings.
Well, I'm off to bed for now. My next books I'll be reading (notice I typed books...because I tend to read two at a time nowadays) =) One on my Kindle and other in paperbook form. I'm going to be reading "Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold and also read the next book to the Anita Blake Series with is "Danse Macabre".
Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend! =)
XOXO,
