SHIVER -- A Play-Doh Tribute

[ThatBlackSheepy]

please please please PLEASE come to orlando for a book signing!!!!!!!!!

[JessiiXXXD]

Huh. I got this book when It came out, I just couldn't get into it though. I only read like the first 50 pages and then I gave up.

[katecutiekat]

love this book soooooooooooo much!! they better pick the right people to play the parts in the movie, pick the wrong cast members and i'll be ruined...shiver does not deserve to be ruined.

[kermit19751]

is there or is there going to be a movie for shiver??

[amlemons1]

You know they have a college course about vampires in our culture. I think they should have one for werewolves, too!!!

[LolzAngelxxxx]

haha love it xxx Shiver kicks Twilight ass !!!!!

[chieu12]

ahah i loved how he turns into a wolf than looks at his tale that says "Oh,crap."!

[kimmycub758]

i just finished reading Forever !! ilove it. and you scared me with cole at the end there ...

[happybkwrm]

Any news on the casting? I hope it's not 30 year olds trying to look 17. :)

[trinklepigs]

I love your humor. Just finished reading linger, gonna order forever on amazon. I love how you have a great sense of humor throughout the book and make me cry in both. Great work. This vid is hilarious :D

[iheartardis]

OMG I absolutely love that.

[SpiritShoX]

I am almost done shiver-lol i wonder if in the only guy thats read it. Its not really entirely feminine because you get sams perspective to.i love reading about when they turn into wolves,and the imagery you use for their channging,and the whole book.I like books about wolves and werewolves,as well as just the supernatural or mundane in general lol!

[Sasukequeen3]

[MaggieStiefvater]

@Lynxygal Check out my blog (google my name and "livejournal" and click on the tag "how I write" on the side) -- I've got loads of tips there. Good luck!

[jazmin826]

hahah love the playdoh heheh

[MaggieStiefvater]

@jazmin826 It really is a fantastic smell. And by fantastic I mean not fantastic.

[jazmin826]

@MaggieStiefvater hehehehe cant wait for forever!!!

[honeyipodgirl]

Damn it Maggie is their anything your not good at?

Writing, Music, Craft, Stopmotion, darn it how many more things are you good at? haha

I'm jealous! :P

[MaggieStiefvater]

@honeyipodgirl Well, play-doh is practically like writing novels, so it doesn't count. ;p

[Satsujinsa]

>;D Yes! An awesome author is also an awesome artist~ I'm so glad. I didn't wanna think you were some old boring turd like most authors. My mom always says I'm mature and was born 27 but I can't stop giggling because I wrote "turd".

[MaggieStiefvater]

@Satsujinsa "turd" is a funny word. And I'm pleased to not be one. So thanks.

[AubreyWuvsU]

Are u writing a sequel to Linger???

[MaggieStiefvater]

@AubreyWuvsU It's done!

[jacqulineknowsbest]

@wlfie0102 Thank you!!!

[TomorrowandForvever]

Haha!

"I'm Sam"

"I love being human."

"Oh,crap."

Haha! I L-O-V-E this book! Better than the Twilight Saga and the vampire diaries! I thought I wasnt gunna like it cause i was on the vampires side. But turns out im on both sides. (Mostly werewolfs) (Well only the ones of Mercy Falls) :)

[MaggieStiefvater]

@TomorrowandForvever Hahaha -- well, I'm glad to sway you.

[onestepshadow]

[MaggieStiefvater]

@harukagirl114 Hahaha -- slightly forever.

[MeganTheVampire1]

Almost done linger and it's going of my fav book shelf. Love the video u r so creative. How do u come up with an idea for a book I want to start writing a mini novel just to see if I'm good.

Megs (17) from Canada where the wolfs r

[MaggieStiefvater]

@MeganTheVampire1 You have to write the books that you want to read but can't find! That's how I find my ideas. Good luck!

[sydneyromy]

I'm going to read Shiver & Linger over and over again until Forever comes out! It's a series nobody could ever get bored with. :-D

[MaggieStiefvater]

@sydneyromy *grin* Thanks!

[Satsujinsa]

@sydneyromy There's going to be a third one?? :D ... Oh no... Now I'll have to wait, I hate waiting  ; >; (pout)

@luvSOSGrl I'm so glad that you love them!

[CelticGoddess111]

Ahh, so amazing. <3 And funny! Just what I needed right now...

Going to read it for my third time as soon as I catch a break. xD

[MaggieStiefvater]

@CelticGoddess111 *grin* Re-reading is the best compliment a writer can get.

[Satsujinsa]

@MaggieStiefvater Really? Now that I think about it, I can't think of anything more loyal to an author besides writing a fan letter...

[alysonadele]

So I found Shiver while I was in Borders yesterday before I went to a town a few hours away to look at a car my parents thought would be suitable for me. I didn't get the car but I went away happy because I found this book.The words flow off the page so beautifully and when I read the lyrics and verses that Sam thought of I could just hear the music behind it. I read it all last night and now I cannot wait for Linger. Thank you for writing such an engaging book.

[MaggieStiefvater]

@alysonadele Thank you! I'm sorry that the car didn't work out but rather glad that the book did. :D

[Elyse96]

thats really cooool.:DD

i imagined sam alittle more attractive than a six inch glob of play-doh though. lol.

AMAZING BOOK! cant wait for lingerrr

[MaggieStiefvater]

@Elyse96 Hey, you try making sexy with playdoh.

[katesmusicmadness]

p.s Love the Play-Doh!

[MaggieStiefvater]

@piey770 I'm SO glad that you love it enough to reread it that many times -- that's just such a fantastic compliment. THANK YOU.

[StillOBSESSED]

Loved your book, Shiver. My family was going out for dinner and had to practically drag me away! But I finished it and LOVED it! (as previously mentioned) Can't wait for linger.

And, yeah. tell me about it. Play-Doh is impossible to mold into anything. But you did a really good job :)

Greetings from Kuwait! (and an aspiring author)

[MaggieStiefvater]

@StillOBSESSED Heehee. Thanks. Yes, play-doh is a challenging medium and I can't say one that I'm dying to try out again . . .

[La5cey94]

I can't wait for Linger!!! It's on my summer must read list for when I'm not at work(or maybe when I am). Anyways I can't wait for Shiver to be movie. I hope the actors and actresses play out like Twilight meaning that they don't use big stars I like that. And definitely fit in the song "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls...it's so perfect!

[MaggieStiefvater]

@La5cey94 I love that song. :) I hope you LOVE Linger!

[TheTwinkleToes22]

"Oh crap!" Ha ha ha. Loved it :D

[MaggieStiefvater]

@TheTwinkleToes22 *Grin* Thanks.

[kare3423]

lol "oh Crap" your book is so great  i don't think i'll last for Linger and Forever!

[MaggieStiefvater]

@kare3423 Hee hee. TRY.

[MartyIsATwilighter]

[MaggieStiefvater]

@Mlg701 Thank you! I hope you love Linger too!

[elizabeth82193]

I love this book! Immediately after I read it I turned at least three people on to reading it, and any time people ask for book suggestions, this one is always at the top of my list! I can't wait for Linger, and I'm getting Lament today :D

[MaggieStiefvater]

@elizabeth82193 Yay! Thank you so much for recommending it.

[TheLooseCurls]

[MaggieStiefvater]

[La5cey94]

[CorRinahMcKaii]

[MaggieStiefvater]

[Neboolosa]

I have just finished it and I adored every single page! Can't wait for Linger please hurry up

xxxx

[MaggieStiefvater]

So glad you loved it!!

[MelyoraMel]

Haha, I love this video ^__^ Shiver is just... breath-taking. I live in the Netherlands and I read the english Shiver (after reading a few english books, dutch just seems so... dull) and we kinda have a tradition here that I buy books, read them and pass them along family-members. Shiver is going to make a big round xD We all love it =D And after reading it it was: Is it over?! NOO)~! And now there's going to be a sequel! We all can't wait ^__^

Keep up the good work! I love it~!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Hahahah!!! I'm so glad you love it and are passing it around!!

[La5cey94]

Why would you leave us hanging with that first chapter!!!!!!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Because I am an evil, evil author. >:D

[MrsJasperHale08]

haha that was kind of brilliant =D This is the next book on my list to read after Catching Fire

[MaggieStiefvater]

Hee -- thanks -- hope you like it!

[PrincessaIvanka]

Maggie!! You are officially one of my top favourite authors! I seriously loved how you wrote the book. I was in school and I was discreetly reading it during class. I went home and checked your website and I was just delighted to know that there would be two more books in the series! AND I WANT TO READ ALL OF YOUR BOOKS!!!! OMG!! you're such a great author. and i'm still like at page 213!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Thank you! And when you're done, I just posted the first paragraph and the cover of LINGER on my blog and website! :D

[TheSari1414]

Dude! Ur book rocked. I actually listened to the audio book 2 b honest with you, and then my dad called right afterwords. He could barley understand my words beneth all the tears! I loooove you!

[MaggieStiefvater]

YAY crying!! I'm so glad you loved it!

[Bella867854]

Deirdre*

sorry I spelled it wrong...

[Bella867854]

Maggie, are the next to books about Sam and Grace...or other people because Lament is about Dendrie and Luke and Ballad is about Nuala and James and Dee, right? If it's telling to much or anything please don't bother in answering...Thanks! <3

[MaggieStiefvater]

I can't say anything except that there is more Grace . . . nothing else at this point! :D

[Neboolosa]

more Grace is good but also don't forget Sam please! I need more Sam! lol

[SidheElf]

Oh, poor Sam! ^^

[MaggieStiefvater]

Hee!

[Bella867854]

Maggie, I loved your book shiver (not to mention this video) but there's going to be a third book, right? Because a friend told me that there WAS going to be a third but.. I'm not sure... PLEASE tell me if there is and if you know the name of it (my friend said that she didn't remember the name, IF their is going to be a 3rd book..) Thank you!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Yay, thanks! Yes, three books: SHIVER, LINGER, FOREVER.

[kelsieraeraerae]

lovely (: how adorable.

i like to draw so when i was reading the book i would focus so hard on imagining what grace and sam looked like so i could draw pictures to go along with the book. it was fun (: cant wait to try it with the next book.

[MaggieStiefvater]

Sounds like fun! Did you see my imaginary movie cast picks for them? (on the website and blog)

[kelsieraeraerae]

hah yes it was fun. :O and noooo but i'm going to go look now! lol

[ckstout]

Hahaha, I love the playfulness of the video... "I love being human!" ...... "Oh, crap."

I was so desperate for something to do while I had H1N1 that I had my brother drive 45 minutes to get the book. I inhaled it in about 8 hours! Loved it, can't wait for the sequel!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Wow, that sounds drastic. You didn't shift into a swine or anything terrible did you? I'm thrilled you loved the book!

[LisaScreamed]

I LOVED Shiver! I devoured it and now I'm sad that I'm finished...:( I wish you'd write some sort of sequel, although I don't know how that'd work out. I mean, there's still the problem with Shelby, right?

*sigh* I'm disappointed to be leaving the world of Sam and Grace...the book was so well written...you know, I almost got it taken away in science class! THANKS A LOT. :P

Anyways, keep writing!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Heh - there IS a sequel, LINGER, coming out next year in August! :D Thanks for this lovely comment!

[dannyspaniel]

this is adorable!!

loved it :)

[MaggieStiefvater]

Heee! Thanks!

[nickjhalo3twilight]

i loved the play doh tribute. the book was amazing!

[MaggieStiefvater]

*grin* Thanks!

[enigmaticessence01]

Hello,

I really loved the trailer, wondering if you could tell me the same of the song you use for it?

Thank you :)

[MaggieStiefvater]

Thanks! And actually it's just some chords I was fiddling around with on my guitar. Hold on, let me see if I can remember them . . . I think it's just a G maj walking up to D maj, then back down to a C maj, then back down to a G maj, over and over again. Just some happy fumbling!

[ekena]

Hey Maggie! Love this trailer. And CONGRATS again on the good news on being on the NYT Best Sellers!!! Totally awesome!!! I'm gonna post this trailer on my FB wall if you don't mind. Gonna do my part to keep the word out there!

Cheers from Edna aka ecm, hoku and~um~ekena here (lol)

[MaggieStiefvater]

Oh, please do. Thank you!

[MissyMaibrit]

I want to read this so badly.

Greetings from Estonia.

Maibrit. ^^

[MaggieStiefvater]

I hope you like it when you finally find it!

[djjd62]

ha, love it

[MaggieStiefvater]

Thanks!

[marissabooklover]

A very incredible book!! The wait was unbearable after reading about it on the newspaper 2 days before release! I even remember having dreams about the book!! Thank You Maggie Stiefvater for writing Shiver!!

Sincerely,

Marissa Montano =)

P.S. I recommend this book to everyone!!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Marissa, again, thank you!!

[emmikenz]

i just got this book and usualy when i'm at the bookstore i read the first chapt. and decide if i wanna read it. with yours i saw the cover and didn't read a thing about it just knowing its gonna be soooo awesome!. i just read other peoples comments and now i think i'm staying up all night to finish it :))

[MaggieStiefvater]

Ha! Thanks! I hope you love it!

[chelsyalexis]

i have never heard of shiver before. but when i saw it on the shelves i knew it was going to be one of my top favorites. i love it! sorry twilight i i like shiver better. :]

[MaggieStiefvater]

Hahahahahah!!! *grin* My kinda comment. Thanks.

[chelsyalexis]

[MaggieStiefvater]

Thank you!

[Readerchik12]

So cute! You're a very good artist!=)

[MaggieStiefvater]

*grin* thanks! It was a lot of fun!

[gypsygurla]

Haha "Whatever. Read it for the nookie scenes then." Oddly enough, it was that first (not so funfilled) review on goodreads that made me WANT to read it! If it gets people riled up that's a pretty good endorsement in my book! Really looking forward to reading this one!

[MaggieStiefvater]

I'm with you -- it's the bad reviews that make me want to pick something up. Especially if they involve threats of bestiality! whoo! ;p

And thanks.

[veschwab]

This is WONDERFUL :)

[MaggieStiefvater]

*grin* Thanks.

[LindaJoySingleton]

This is great, Maggie!!! Brilliant!

[MaggieStiefvater]

Thanks, Linda!
