Welcome!

This blog is set up for anyone who loves to read but especially anyone who enjoys a good Young Adult selection. I am 34 but have found the I truly enjoy many of the Young Adult books! One of my favorite authors is the author of Shiver, Linger and Forever, Maggie Stiefvater. I am looking forward to sharing many books that I have read and will be reading and I hope you too will share your own Young Adult books that you may be reading! Any suggestions, ideas or comments are greatly appreciated! I hope you enjoy this as much as I am!

The Paranormal and Maggie Stiefvater Books

I had not read a book in a long while. Between school and my young daughter reading consisted of children's books. I went to a conference for work and heard them talk about a book called Shiver...and the cover just hooked me in. I had to read it...and once I did I was hooked. Maggie Stiefvater's work is amazing. It can be found mostly in the Young adult section but her books are unbelievable.


Please feel free to check out her page...I have also posted reviews about the books I have read here within the blog. Check her out she is awesome!

Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater


Every November the races happen.  Horse and rider try to stay attached to each other just long enough to make it across the finish line.  Not everyone makes it and this year Sean is determined to not only finish the race but be the winner of the race.  The book is full of family drama, a fight for independence and the ride of a young boys life.  This ride means more than just prestige to Sean.  Will he make the race and live to tell about it?  Check it out you won't be disappointed.

Just like in Shiver, Linger and Forever the author leaves you breathless and wanting more.  These stories are both about fairies and the real world.  She combines love, life and a world of fairies all into two great books.  If you liked Shiver, Linger and Forever then you will love these!  Haven't you ever wondered what fairies do?  If they are real or not?  Well these two books will have you wondering!
