The music of Linger

If you want more music or videos from Maggie go Here

We here at the lounge LOVE Maggie Stiefvater. A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to meet her and get her to sign a copy of Linger for us to giveaway.  If you’ve read Shiver we know you are craving more. Since our next pick for book of the month will be Linger, we thought it would be fitting to give a copy to one of our listeners to read along with us.  Fill out the form below and please make sure to leave all the correct info so that if you are the winner we can get the book to you ASAP!  We’ve set the contest up with lots of ways to earn extra entries.  Have fun with it and spread the word!

WE MET THE ONE AND ONLY MAGGIE STIEFVATER!!!

Shannon and I were joined by our friends Jen and Christine.  We arrived around 5:45 and grabbed a third row seat.  I actually expected more people to show up. But we were lucky in that we didn’t have to wait in line so long and we got to chat a bit with the Magic Mrs S for a bit.  She was great.

She came out just a little past 7 and started talking and telling us some great stories. Telling us about her travels with Shiver, stupid cab drivers in CA, and a bit about little neurotic young Maggie.  She even read from Linger for us.  It’s awesome to hear an author read their own work.

Listen Here:

Then she gave us an opportunity to ask her some questions.

Listen Here:

We then got in line to wait for our opportunity to tell Maggie how much we love her and grab a pic or two with her.

Maggie we love you and wish you all the best.  We can not wait for Forever and the next chance to meet and chat with you again.

This morning Jen, Kim and I plus our minions went to the big box bookstore and bought our copy of Linger. I got there first and there were no copies out anywhere so being me I had to go bug the customer service guy and low and behold they were all waiting in the back ready to be shelved but no one apparently did there job this morning. We left with our copies and smiles on our faces. I can’t wait to dive into it even though Kim said I will cry.
