We didn’t get any romantic book suggestions for our February Book Club pick, so we’re going to go with a book I acquired on my recent trip instead. I think it will be a popular choice based on how many reviews I’ve seen in the past few months. And as far as I can tell it’s a love story, so it fits the bill for our romantic selection!

After reading all the fantastic praise for Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, I just couldn’t help but pick it for our February Book Club selection. Shiver is the first novel in Stiefvater’s YA The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, with the second book Linger due out in July.

Here’s a brief description from the author’s website:

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can’t seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl.

We really hope that all of you who have previously read Shiver will join us in the discussion at the end of the month, and for those who have had it on their wish or TBR lists, now’s the perfect time to check it out! We’ll put up our discussion post the week of February 22 – hope to see you there!
