I was all ready to settle into post-vacation Tuesday blues when I got to work this morning and found the above on my desk chair.
[Insert major squeeing here]
I am normally not one for Internet bragging but in this case I sorta have to because JOHN GREEN SIGNED MY COPY OF THE FAULT IN OUR STARS! (Thank you, awesome co-workers)
If you’re somehow not familiar with this book (how? how could you not be?), here’s where I talk about how much I loved it. I was limited in what I could say because I read it early and therefore had to sign an embargo agreement with the publisher. Despite this I think I still got my point across: The Fault In Our Stars is the best book I’ve read in years. YEARS.
If you don’t want to go by my opinion alone, Kate, Joy, and Kevin—all of whom are great readers with excellent taste—have shared why they love it, too.
Now I just need to figure out where in my apartment I should put this so that I can stare at it forever. Is taping it to the front door really weird?
Wondering why these four books are shown here together?
Oh just ‘cause they represent #1, #2, #3, and #4 on this week’s USA Today bestseller list.
Basically, they’re a really big deal and yeah, young adult books rock.
The trailer for THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green
I had the honor (and seriously, it was an honor) of getting a copy of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS manuscript a few weeks ago.
I read it in two nights. Had I been younger and didn’t need to get up for a job that requires a functioning Jess, I would have definitely plowed through it in one night.
Suffice to say that it is truly remarkable. Ever since reading Looking for Alaska I’ve known that John Green is a genius. The Fault in Our Stars serves as further proof of this.
So pre-order it or stalk your independent bookseller or rob a delivery truck (uh, just kidding on that last one) because, frankly, you need to read this.
All of you.
