Best Book In a Long Time

I just finished one of the best books I have read in a long time. "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater. Wow. I have been loving Young Adult fiction lately because so much of it is based loosely off of fairytales and explores the theme of first love. I remember mine...James Matthew Hancock. I was 18 and in college. Do you remember yours?

I love that these writers understand and tell about the love of books, the art in every day life. Here is the book trailer composed and illustrated by the author.

I will totally check it out...as for my first love...talk about dodging a bullet. It was a good day the day he broke up with me, it just took me a few months to figure it out!

It's a good one and the cover of the sequel "Longer" just got released today. As for the first love Michele...I have had many awakenings like that, but my first love was a person I will always have fond memories of ;)

I can't wait to read it after hearing so much about it from you. Ahh....first love...My mom always said you will ALWAYS remember your first love. Back then I didn't believe her but she is SO right. You never forget them and those feelings.
