Hi!

Sorry for the updates that never showed, maybe 'cause they weren't written... Anyway, sorry about that :]

The result of our last poll was that your favourite character was Sam, then Grace, Isabel and Cole tied with one vote each... Please vote in our next poll as well! You've got three weeks :]

Song of the Day!

Hi!

This song is actually in the movie Eclipse (which I happen to really like...). But when I listened to the song this afternoon I started thinking about Sam and Grace, so here it is:

Let's Get Lost - Beck & Bat For Lashes


Lyrics:
Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow
With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts
It's not hard for us to say what we should not

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost

Poll

Hi!

Remember to vote in our poll to the right! Only five days left... For those of you who don't understand Swedish, the question is "Who is your favourite character?" You can only vote for one person, and only one time (makes sense, doesn't it?) xD

We would really appreciate if you did waste two seconds of your life to vote ;]

Song of the Day!

Hi!

Today's song is from the Linger-playlist by Maggie Stiefvater. I really loke it, and I hope you do the same :D

A Message - Coldplay

Hi!

This is just a lovely picture made by CandyGurl001 on Deviant Art.

How Cole's voice would sound like in NARKOTIKA

This was posted from Maggies blog (link in the sidebar!) from the "Friday Music" post and this friday, she posted a musicvideo called Struggle by the band Ringside. A quote from her about it:

"...that puts me in mind of what I think Cole from LINGER's singing voice might sound like, though not necessarily NARKOTIKA's sound"




So what do you think about it? I haven't really though about his singing so it was really interesting that she wrote a post about it. But I actually like it a lot, it fits him well :)

Seven Ways to React When a Strange Naked Man Shows Up On Your Back Porch

Hi!

Here is a video that I found and thought it was kinda funny. ^^

A cute interview with Sam and Grace for Shiver!

Hi!
I found this strange but cute and extremely interesting invented interview with Sam and Grace that a blogger made when Shiver came out with Maggie Stiefvater. Questions about the cure for Sam in Shiver (If you have read Linger, you know what is going to happen), Twilight, poetry and Linger.

The time and date are set and I arrive early so that I can get to my favorite spot towards the back of the shop. The sofa is worn in places but comfortably familiar and soon the aromas overwhelm my senses. My mouth waters and I barely have a chance to register all the smells when the door opens and a beautiful couple slowly entire the shop. I look up in breathless anticipation and soon am rewarded by a pair of yellow eyes meeting mine. I wave them over and soon we are all facing each other.

Introductions are made and soon we are seated. A waitress comes by and a carafe of coffee is ordered along with some truffles. YUMMY!! I am set.

RR Hello Sam. Hello Grace. How are you both doing today?

Grace: Fine, thanks. I'm always fine.
Sam: Spoilery.

RR I hope you both don't think I am crazy for wanting to interview you both, but I enjoyed your love story so much that I had to talk to you both and get a better understanding. How do you both feel about your story being out there for the world to read?

Sam: I never thought of our story as particularly epic. It's weird to think of people being interested in our struggles. It seems like such a personal thing, just the little details of our life together. And then -- winter.

Grace: It makes me wish I was more romantic. If people are reading about our love story, Sam is going to get all the good lines.

RR I feel that Maggie did a wonderful job at conveying your story it was poetic and heart squeezingly beautiful. Was there anything that she did not put into the novel that either of you want to tell me about now?

Sam: Cooking. A lot of cooking went on off-screen.
Grace: Oh, that's true. There's not really places to eat out at Mercy Falls. Plus, if you're dating a boy that turns into a wolf when the temperature drops, it makes traditional dates a bit difficult to plan.
Sam: I don't like eating out anyway.
Grace: Sam's a picky eater. It's kind of cute.
Sam: Grace is not. That's also cute.

RR Summer is ticking away. How does that make you both feel?

Sam: Do we need to talk about this?
Grace: We're finding a cure. We have time still.
Sam: Grace . . .
Grace: Sam doesn't think there's a cure, otherwise the others would've found it by now.
Sam: . . .
Grace: But that was before me. I was bitten, and I don't become a wolf. That has to be important. There has to be a way.

RR Have you made any plans for the future?

Grace: Math. I think I'm going to college for math. And Sam is going to go for his poetry thing.
Sam: I would rather think about the present. Right now. I mean, I'm not saying that Grace won't find a cure -- I don't think Grace ever fails at anything she really wants -- but if she doesn't, I want to make the most of what we have.
Grace: I told you . . .
Sam: I know. Grace, if I didn't have to change, if there weren't the wolves -- you know I'd be answering this question with words like "forever."

RR Grace, I have to ask, even though I think know the answer. EDWARD OR JACOB?

Sam: *snorts*
Grace: Sam, shut up. Stop laughing.
Sam: I'm not laughing. This is not me laughing. I'm just curious. Yes, Grace, who would you trade the boy who turns into a wolf for? The boy who just might kill you by accident when he's not drinking blood or the boy who also TURNS INTO A WOLF?
Grace: When you put it that way, I feel quite lucky. At least you're really human when you're human. Can I pass on this question? I mean, do I have to pick one?
Sam: Yes. Because I want to know.
Grace: Which is the one with a pulse?

RR Sam what is your favorite summer read and why?

Sam: I'm reading poetry by Mandelstam at the moment. He's quite brilliant. I don't like his poetry as well as Rilke, but it's got its moments.
Grace: I think she meant as in current summer reads.
Sam: Oh. Um. THE MAGICIANS. Is that current enough? I've just started it. It's weird and interesting and derivative.
Grace: I couldn't finish it. It wasn't very . . . logical.
Sam: Grace is not that book's intended audience. Pay no attention to her.

RR Maggie is writing another book named LINGER, what can we expect from that novel?

Grace: Um.
Sam: Spoilery, like I said.
Grace: Well, I can say a little, right? Isabel's in it. She's got a big part. And me and the wolves. . . I . . . no, I can't say anything about that. It's too --
Sam: I hate to think about you like that.
Grace: It'll be okay. I think. I hope.

As Sam begins to talk the waitress comes by with our order. Yeay!! Coffee, sweet nectar of the gods. The Carafe is set down with 3 mugs and all the fixings. Then she returns with a small tray with an assortment of truffles. We all smile, the coffee comes up to ensare us in its aroma. 

RR Who wants coffee? and chocolate?

Sam: I have possibly lost my appetite.
Grace: I'm always up for coffee. Eat something, Sam. LINGER doesn't come out until next fall. That's a long time.
Sam: Thanks for the chocolates, Nancy. This place is nice.
Grace: We'll have to come back here in FOREVER.

RR Ahhhhh!!! Young impossible love. I hope that it can survive the cold.

THANK YOU MAGGIE!! for letting Sam and Grace visit. I will treasure it always :)

Interviw with Maggie

Hi!

This is an interview with Maggie herself, it's kinda funny ^^

And PLEASE note her lovely scetches :'D

Shiver trailer

Hi!

Here's the trailer for Shiver (book). I love it, and I'm so happy right now because yesterday I learned how to play the song in the background :D

Question of the Day!

Hi!

This question is about the casting for Shiver-the Movie.

Do you think Emma Watson would be a good Grace?
I saw this fanmade picture at www.wolvesofmercyfalls.com. And I thought, why not? The only problem is that everyone would think of her as Hermione instead of Grace.

Quote of the Day

Hi!

Hmm, we've got many "...of the Day"-stuff, but whatever. Why not another topic? :D

So, the quote of today is:

"And leaving you (there aren't words to untangle it)
Your life, fearful and immense and blossoming,
so that, sometimes frustrated, and sometimes understanding,
Your life is sometimes a stone in you, and then, a star.

I was beginning to understand poetry."
Grace Brisbane, Shiver, ch. 63

This is one of my absolute favourite quotes. What do you think about Rilke's poetry? I love it. :]

Picture of the Day

Hi!

Found another beautiful fanmade picture. I just love it!! :D


It was made by I See A Jen Jen on Deviant Art

What do you think about it?

Question of the Day!

Hi!

Today's question is:

How did you find out about this website?

Maybe not the most interesting question ever, but it's a question in any case...

The Shiver Playlist!

Maybe you have already seen this playlist, after reading Shiver but if you haven't you got to! The first time I listening to it, I've found some new beautiful songs and bands too. Like Snow Patrol.

And when you hear them, they fit very well into the book :-)

1. "The Ocean" - The Bravery (the general thematic song)

2. "Sundrenched World" - Joshua Radin

3. "Run" - Snow Patrol

4. "Cemeteries of London" - Coldplay (hunt scene)

5. "Make This Go On Forever" - Snow Patrol

6. "Matroshka" - Dredg

7. "Underwater" - Vertical Horizon

8. "Star Mile" - Joshua Radin (making quiche)

9. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" - Snow Patrol

10. "Jeremiah" - Starsailor

11. "Bug Eyes" - Dredg

12. "Everything'll Be Alright" - Joshua Radin (bookstore scene)

13. "Hide and Seek" - Imogen Heap (car scene near end)

14. "A Clock is Ticking" - Snow Patrol (Jack scene near end)

15. "Peter Returns" - James Newton Howard (final scene)

16. "Wake Up, Open the Door, & Escape to the Sea" - Blaqk Audio (ultimate nookie scene)

On my youtube account, I made a playlist with all the songs so you don't have to search for every song. But there is a few songs that I couldn't find!

So click on the link to youtube, sit back and listen. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFuq0fbqDvo&feature=PlayList&p=B6108ABD8F74993E&index=0&playnext=1

Have to do my homeworks now, and listening to some music. Shiver! 

Question of the Day!

Hi!

I have a question for you, it might seem simple, but trust me, there will be harder questions later...

Anyway, the question is:

Which book is your favourite, Shiver or Linger??



My favourite is Shiver. I think it's because of the ending (NO SPOILERS), but I don't know, there might be something else...

Twitter :'D

Hi!

YAY!!! Maggie wrote to me (and two others-.-) at Twitter again ^^

You can't believe how happy I am right now!! :D

Okay, so start at the bottom. The 4th one (the one on top) doesn't really belong with the others, but it's the one where she tagged me ^^



<-- cut here!

Wonderful Fan-Art

Hi!

Just found this beautiful picture here.

Said by the painter herself:

"Finished Linger and you made me cry Maggie! Now as I wait a WHOLE year to find out what happens next I’m left with only my imagination and my pencils, paints, ect. Here’s my 1st fanart piece inspired by the book."

Song of the Day!

Hi!

New song today! Well, it's not the same as the last one... This, too, is from one of Maggie Stiefvater's playlists, though this one is from Linger. Enjoy!!

I have to warn you, the video is kinda freaky, but sad. Made me stare blankly at the screen for a minute.

9 Crimes - Damien Rice

Maggie on Twitter :'D

HI!!!

Guess who just wrote to me on Twitter?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Nobody but MAGGIE STIEFVATER herself!!!!! :'D

I'm SOOOOO excited right now, can hardly describe it :D

PS: if you're interested in following me on Twitter, klick here --->

Song of the Day!

Hi!

This is one of my favourite songs, I found it at a certain page by a certain writer, you may know who...

Anyway, here's The Ocean by The Bravery

English...

Hi!

As you may have noticed, me and Agnès are both from Sweden ^^ That is why some of the earlier posts are in Swedish... Well, since we've had a few readers from the US and Canada, we've decided to write in English!

Hope you'll enjoy your reading! :D

Question of the day!

So, just fixed my profile on google so now I'm done with that stuff! Anyway, just to explain the design, the green stands for the green color on the cover of Linger. A beautiful green color...

To the question of the day, which is your favourite cover of the two books? Shiver with the white hiver, med vita branches (blue for the hardcover) and black background or the wolf and the girl in a forest with green theme?

The Design

Hej!

Okej, så den nuvarande designen är lite Linger-inspirerad. Som ni säkert vet är den "grön" på framsidan, och Agnès exemplar har grön text (det får hon berätta mer om själv...), så därför är designen som sagt grön :P

Maggies hemsida

Hej!

Om du inte har kollat in Maggie Stiefvaters egna hemsida är tycker jag att det är dags att göra det nu. Adressen är www.maggiestiefvater.com. Hon är så otroligt kreativ, och man blir glad av att läsa om hennes verk. :D

Picture of the Day

Hej!

Här är en väldigt fin bild som jag just nu har som bakgrundsbild.

Om du vill använda den som bakgrundsbild du med kan du klicka här.

Inledning

Hej!

Okej, det här mitt första inlägg på denna blogg, känns såå spännande! :D Haha xD
Ja, Agnès nämnde kanske inte det i förra inlägget, men det här är en blogg som mestadels handlar om böckerna Shiver, Linger och Forever av Maggie Stiefvater. Vårt mål är att bli någon sorts officiell svensk fansite, och vi hoppas att ni kan hjälpa oss med det ^^ Kommentera gärna och tipsa alla du känner om bloggen :P

Välkommen till en svensk shiver fansida!

Vi är två tjejer på 15 somrar (då Sam Roth är människa) och älskar Shiver och Linger som är skriven av Maggie Stiefvater.
