My name is Kaleb Nation, and I am a 21 year old writer from southern California. Many of you might know me from TwilightGuy.com, and my journey as a guy reading the Saga.
As I said when I first started that website, two very long years ago: “I do not read vampire romances, nor werewolf romances, nor hobbit romances, nor any other romances“. However, I lived through reading the entire Twilight Saga. And as such things go, it only follows that I must now experiment on the second item on my list of things I do not read: werewolves. Heaven help us if someone digs up a hobbit romance for me
I discovered Shiver when it was given to me at a convention, but never opened it. I was told by Lauren of TheCrookedShelf.com to read it, though I never did, until many months later when I finally opened the book to see what the beginning was like. I knew full well that I didn’t have time to read anything nor get involved in another fandom: and yet I was sucked in before the second chapter ended. Thus, I relented, and decided I would read the rest, and blog my experience.
This website will be my video thoughts on reading Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, and possibly continuing on to the sequels. Unlike TwilightGuy.com, the reviews here will be done via videos posted once / twice a week with my thoughts on a few chapters at a time (as Maggie’s chapters run shorter and thus I can read a lot at one time).
Posting reviews once a week does NOT reflect upon the book being put-down-able, but rather upon the fact that I am single-handedly writing my own books, managing three other websites, two Youtube accounts, other reading and whatever life I can manage to squeeze in there. I’m spacing things out so it’s all easier to manage (and so that I have time for at least two meals a day).
Unlike other fan sites, I will NOT be posting news about Shiver, the movie, or anything other than my video reviews and specific pages linked from the video reviews. The only thing you’ll find here is a posting of my Shiver videos straight from Youtube. If you are looking for news, visit TheCrookedShelf.com.
I hope you enjoy following along with my journey through the world of werewolves!
