The first book I read from Maggie Stievfater was Shiver
when it first came out. It was poetic, fast paced, but slow in all the right spots, & it had a really different sort of male lead (read: sensitive, emotional, artsy, kindhearted) than a lot of books I had read recently (even though my heart still belongs to the damaged boy with a heart-of-gold shtick).
So, when I found out that she was coming to SLC I new I had to be there. And, boy, I was not disappointed. She was hilarious, kind, humble but not too humble, & so down-to-earth. I hope it's not a rule that all authors must be able to preform so aptly in front of people or be so witty/charming or I'm screwed.
Get thee forth, friends & read some of her books. Like I said, each book is really different so there is something for everyone & they are all astounding in their own ways.
Has anyone read any of her books?
Which ones did you love or not so much love?
