Memory Lane Monday #29 ~ Linger by Maggie Stiefvater ~ Memory Post

Memory Lane Monday is a weekly meme that Amber at Paradise of Pages and I, Kristalyn at The Sarcastic Palmtree, came up with. We have been wanting to re-read some of our favorites but feel overwhelmed by all the other new books coming out that our re-reads get put to the side. We have decided we don't want to put them aside anymore, so we will be taking turns putting up our reviews on our blogs throughout the month. This does not mean we won't keep up with recent releases, it just means we will make more time for those we have read before as well.

**As this memory post is for the 2nd book in this series, there are spoilers so please don't read ahead if you have not already read Linger.**

In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.

I don't remember a whole lot of where the story goes in Linger. I know at some point in the series, Grace starts becoming a wolf as Sam now stays human.  I believe that process starts for her in this book.

I know that Cole and Isabelle's relationship progresses in this installment and I remember loving both of their characters.  

The book is told from multiple points of view again (which is my favorite) so I am really looking forward to that.  

If I remember correctly, Grace's parents decide to actually start paying attention to her in this book (they weren't very parental in Shiver) which is both good and bad.  

I am looking forward to reading this book again, as I have obviously forgotten most of it, and reviewing it for you next week.  

Here's how Memory Lane Monday works:

• Each week the co-hosts will trade off with recapping when it is a re-read or what they have heard so far about the book and the other co-host will put up their review. 
• The participants can read anything that they remember reading in the past, or something that they have wanted to read that has been around for a while and just haven't gotten around to reading it yet for whatever reason.
• Participants can decide if they want to recap the book before reading it or just put up a review of what they read.
• Anyone can join in, just please link back to our blogs as well as add your name to the linky so we can hop around and see what everyone is reading.
• Please put our banner on your post as well, so we all look the same!
• We ask you kindly to follow BOTH of our blogs.
• Most importantly remember to just have fun! :)

We will be providing each week a linky that you will be able use to link your posts for us and everyone else to see as well. All we ask is for you to put up our banner as well as a link back to both hosts on your post.
