As part of my 2016 resolution “go out and do more things” I went to see @maggie-stiefvater tonight in Westlake and can now report:
1. @maggie-stiefvater is at least four times cooler than you think.
2. You cannot show up too early for one of her events, I showed up twenty minutes early and was ticket holder 141.
3. It’s possible she was escorted up a back staircase or secret elevator but from my spot in the back it looked like she just appeared out of thin air or was possibly summoned by our collective will and that is what I chose to believe happened.
5. Ask about the fainting goats. Seriously.
6. Her arms are covered halfway to her elbows in friendship bracelets and she seemed delighted when I produced mine to tie on her arm. Make her a friendship bracelet if you don’t know what to say.
7. She’s just really fucking cool you guys. 10 out 10, would highly recommend.
Someone in the audience said my name three times backwards and I was pulled from my car several blocks away to manifest in your presence. Thank God I’d already put the parking brake on.
Places No One Knows Is in the World
Today is the day. Places No One Knows—my thinky prickly unlikable-girl hot pink book—is out in the world like a real live book.
This is what it’s about:
Waverly Camdenmar spends her nights running until she can’t even think.
Then the sun comes up, life goes on, and Waverly goes back to her
perfectly hateful best friend, her perfectly dull classes, and the tiny,
nagging suspicion that there’s more to life than student council and
GPAs.
Marshall Holt is a loser. He drinks on school nights and gets
stoned in the park. He is at risk of not graduating, he does not care,
he is no one. He is not even close to being in Waverly’s world.
But
then one night Waverly falls asleep and dreams herself into Marshall’s
bedroom and when the sun comes up, nothing in her life can ever be the
same. In Waverly’s dreams, the rules have changed. But in her days, she
ll have to decide if it’s worth losing everything for a boy who barely
exists.
This is where you can get it:
3) Your local library
4) The store or vendor of your choice
This is what I think:
You guys, this is the book I wanted when I was 16 and a robot and using words like draconian and laconic in casual conversation and never sleeping and nursing a soft obsession with horror and gore and just wanted to hear that one day someone would show up and like me basically the way I already was! Also, uncomfortable intimacy. Because I like it when things are just a little uncomfortable.
I love this book. Now you guys can love it too.

Inbox, I’m not going to answer any spoilery questions about TRK at this point, but for the few from last night: I’m the wrong person to ask about rural farms and ambition in TRK, as I am extremely biased — I am an ambitious person who lives on a rural farm less than ten miles from where I was born. I appreciate that the askers had their own feelings about this, but I am an A+++ country and family seat stan.
As being another person born and raised in Virginia, how would you describe our state? Ever since I was a child, I've wanted to leave this place for somewhere with more action. Have you ever felt this way?
Dear unidentifiedgalaxies,
I began here in Virginia and will end here in Virginia, no matter how many places I travel to in between. My soul is buried here.
I make my own action.
urs,
Stiefvater
